The hydraulic load test determines the volume of clean water an absorption area can absorb in a twenty-four hour period. A hydraulic load test shall be recommended when, during the course of an inspection, any of these conditions are discovered: • Structure is vacant more than 30 days • New water sources are directed to the system within last 30 days • Soil fracturing activity is present within last 30 days • High water conditions are observed • A significant difference in the current water use in a structure exists compared to the anticipated use of the structure.
