  Course summary Service providers routinely do system inspections, both on occupied properties as part of a normal service call, but also on a property that has sat empty for an extended period of time. There are legal and ethical considerations – and development of sound policies and procedures are essential.
  o Utilizing checklists for all service visits is a best practice to ensure nothing is overlooked. Creating a Disclosure Statement is good business practice for many reasons. Recognizing the difference between an inspection and an evaluation will be covered, also best practices for collecting system samples for performance evaluation. This class will discuss best practices and options for official onsite inspector certification.
  Course outline This is a TWO hour class split into 20-30 minute sections. The vast majority of rural and suburban homes and business outside of large municipalities rely on onsite wastewater systems for sanitation services.

• A properly maintained onsite system provides equal, and often more affordable, sanitation service as a central sewer collection system.
  o Onsite systems serve residential, commercial and community purposes.
• Several municipalities, lending institutions and Health Departments require a TOS (Time Of Sale) or TOT (Time Of Transfer) inspection.
• To protect both the buyer, the value of the property, as well as public and environmental health of the community, such an inspection should be conducted by a professional, knowledgeable individual.
• The primary purpose of this class is to train professionals to their full potential, to raise the bar of the public’s perception of the complexity and competency of both onsite POWTS system design and the people who work in this profession.
