The homeowner must provide access to the aerobic unit when requested by the maintenance company. If access is limited due to a locked gate or aggressive animal the homeowner must provide a time where the maintenance company can access the system.

Aerobic systems usually need to be pumped out every 2-4 years. Failure to pump the system can result in BOD overloads and result in an odor. Failure to comply or correct the situation can result in costly repairs.
