Septic Inspection Reports

The purpose of the OSS Inspections (Septic Inspection Reports) within the Work Activity is to view and respond to deficient inspection reports.  The reports are shown in the following order:

  1. Hi-priority focus 
  2. Hi-priority 
  3. Deficient reports

Reports shown on the OSS Inspection Work Activity "deficient inspections" have been previously defined by your Local Regulatory Jurisdiction and can be modified by updating settings within the Jurisdictions Deficiency List.  The reports in the Work Activity OSS Inspections, Deficient Inspections are reports that show deficiencies that have not been corrected.
