re: Tell us what you think about stormwater discount registrati
I have some concern about the requirement that residents have "a building or plumbing permit, inspection report, or other documents that describe the size and capacity of the facilities."
I live in outer east Portland, in a home built in the late-1960's. At the time the house was built, there were no sanitary sewers or storm sewers, so the house was built with rain water going to dry wells and sanitary waste going to a septic tank. After all these years, how am I supposed to produce a building or plumbing permit (or other documentation) to prove these dry wells exist and that they were properly installed?
