SECTION 1 - COMPLIANCE WITH AUTHORITY RULES

1.2 The Customer acknowledges that a complete copy of the Authority’s Rules and Regulation is available for purchase or review in the lobby of the Authority Administration Office, located at 8763 Hospital Drive, Douglasville, Georgia, and on the Authority’s website at www.ddcwsa.com.
1.3 The Customer understands that certain Rules and Regulations adopted by the Authority regulate, control, and promote the reduction and/or elimination of both point and non-point sources of pollution. The Customer agrees to comply with all such Rules and Regulation and hereby authorizes the Authority, its agents, servants, and employees to come onto the property during reasonable hours for performing inspections.
1.4 The Customer understands that septic tanks and absorption fields shall be constructed in accordance with County Health Department standards and the Authority’s Design and Construction Standards. The customer agrees that septic tanks in the Dog River drainage basin shall be properly pumped no less than once every five (5) years, and proof of pumping must be made available to the Authority upon request.

The Authority strongly recommends that the Customer be present at the location when the service is turned on (or restored) to reduce the risk of any internal or external damage.
