The rules are the same in every county
- · An aerobic system with surface application is tested every four months (30 TAC §285.91(4), Table IV). How often systems are inspected.
- · Each report goes to the permitting authority and the owner within 14 days of the test (30 TAC §285.7(e)(1)(B)). The deadline rule.
- · A new aerobic system starts with a two-year service policy (30 TAC §285.7(c)). After that the owner renews the maintenance contract or, for a single-family home, may maintain the system themselves where local rules allow (§285.7(d)(4)). What the contract must say.
