He advised that residents are notified about overdue pumping, but the City has had less than effective follow-up procedure until recently. Several residents have informed the City about their need to not pump regularly due to their smaller household status. The City Planner suggested that a simple inspection and report of findings every two years could be substituted for the actual pumping, if not pumping is found not to be required. Council questioned if pumpers recognized the various problems and if the pumpers were required to be licensed. The Building Official informed Council that there were various levels of septic certification and that pumpers could attain the necessary inspection certification if they chose. M/S/P Conlin/Johnson — to adopt Ordinance No. 97-181, amending Chapter 700 of the City Code to permit substitution of licensed or certified septic inspections for septic pumping every two (2) years where such inspections find no septic pumping is required.
