I warned him that there is a steel septic tank <br />presently at the site that may not be structurally sound, due to the nature of steel tanks <br />corroding and developing structural integrity issues. I was going to be in the general area doing <br />other onsite inspections and told him I could stop to check the tank if he would like. He agreed <br />that he would like me to see if it would be suitable for the connection of additional plumbing <br />fixtures. <br />I did an inspection at approximately 10:00 a.m. on 5/7/2014, using a tile probe to prod <br />the tank. It immediately penetrated through the top or lid of the tank with little effort. This <br />indicates that the steel tank has extremely compromised structural integrity, and is prone to <br />collapsing at any time. There have been many cases this year where steel tanks have collapsed, <br />which is an important health concern to take into account. <br />I was asked by Mr. Bredemus to call him back after I conducted the onsite to describe <br />my findings, which I did on 5/7/2014. He acknowledged that he would like to replace the tank, <br />so as not to put his grandchildren and family in danger if it were to collapse. <br />You are hereby notified that you must replace your failed steel septic tank within 6 months <br />from the date of this letter. The first step is to contact a licensed WI plumber to design the <br />system and submit the necessary application. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me at any time. My office hours are Monday <br />through Friday from 8:30-4:30. <br />Thanks, <br />Craig Dantoin <br />Burnett County Zoning & POWTS Specialist <br />
