<br /> Mrs. O'Neill: "Standing by the vindows watching us,, it was terrible."
<br /> TC: "As I understand this Mrs. O'Neill, Mrs Labute was on the property in Oct.
<br /> 1983 and prior to your arriving he testified that the sept.c system was over-
<br /> flowing,, am I correct, Mr. La.but e, or did I misur-derstazid you, Sir?tx
<br /> Mr. Labute: "Yes, it was overflow nge"
<br /> TC: "It was overflowing, onto the ground?" "No this was the origin of the first
<br /> order from the Board, i f I' not mi st a en, t tell you t bring your system into
<br /> Compliance v.th Title v."
<br /> Mrs. O'Neill-, "Well this is the time we're talking about,,, what we#re saying is
<br /> from mid October, when we had that system pumped, there has never been any effluence."
<br /> "That it is the whole point*"
<br /> Mr. O'Neill: "The whole thing is, 1_t was I who first contacted. the B before Mr,,
<br /> S tern made the complaint, before Mrs. Anderson came to our hone, it was, it was, it
<br /> was myself whc made the inquiry, you �mcw, and waa actively doing something on our
<br /> system," r
<br /> Mrs, O'Neill: "We didn't know enough about peptic systems, we had never had them
<br /> before, and this is why we were checking out because when we reeved an estimate
<br /> and it was so high, we thought, you know, is this the right thing to do, you just
<br /> don't jump into something."
<br /> TC: "From your point of view 1 can appreciate the fact that you're sensitive to the
<br /> fact that maybe you think that this Board is picking on you, but 1 can assure you
<br />;
<br /> that this Board has bent over backwards to restrain from exercising the discretion-
<br /> ary power it possess to condemn your house. Three times noir they have now issued
<br /> you notices and they stopped short of ging to Court and seeking enforcez ent, judi-
<br /> cial enf rcement, but 1 think you can sort of sense the temper, as it wee of the
<br /> Board, that they feel that they can no longer expend to you the benefit of doing
<br /> nothing in view of the fact that a violation was found to exist, your system was
<br /> ordered to be brought into compliance with Title V. The issue really before the
<br /> Board is whether or not, your system complies with Title v and whether or not,, you
<br /> can afford. any reason to this Board, to indicate t this Board, iday it should not
<br /> make your syste
<br /> ms. comply with the regal re e is of Title V. And that's really the
<br /> purpose of his hea-rinu we �;ot a little Oar afield. ad d. pec .�� e o x�1� of
<br /> L,iie statements that %q-ere on a t ned in the recited narrative that your scan read ,into
<br /> the record.
<br /> Mrs,, -O'Neill: "You keep referring to it as a recited narrative."
<br /> "PreparedTC
<br /> narrative, your son put into the record., but have t take exception
<br /> o a lot of the comments that were .ade in there becrause . eli -ti'e that they create
<br /> an inuendo which is just not accurate and does not truly reflect the facts, the fact
<br /> of the matter is that the Bpi is complying with State Law in. giving notice and con-
<br /> ducting the hearing, the fact of the natter is that your attorney Mr Thibbit s rem
<br /> quested that you have an opportunity for a, public hearing so that you were r -noti--'ied
<br /> again , and this was on advice of Town Counsel., myself; that notice was sant out
<br /> giving you knowledge of the fact that you had an opportunity for a public hearing,
<br /> even though, there is some question in mly mind as to whether or not this Daard had
