Workflow

Talty workflow order

  2. If the property has an irrigation system, complete the permit and inspection workflow through the district office first.
  3. Hire a tester who is registered with the Talty SUD office and uses a current gauge certification.
  4. Send the completed report to the district office by the May 1 or November 1 deadline tied to the property cycle.
