<br /> Mrs, ,Thorns briefed the Board and guests of her visit to Lakeville DEQE, this date, for a meeting
<br /> chaired by Gilbert Joly.
<br /> B T said there was no in depth discussion of condemnation of wells,, but, that it was the re-
<br /> sponsibility of the Board of Health to take such action. If the buildings are such that the
<br /> residents cannot drink water, then ,you provide water, that removes that threat; but, if ,you
<br /> have a situation like you have in Building 14, then this is a different 'ball game' , measures
<br /> were discussed to have an 'interim' solution type of thing arxJ that would be up to the BOH to
<br /> decide. Donna Bishop D EE who was not present at the meet i ng but,, who has the EPA data and
<br /> will not issue any comments until she makes an in-depth study, therefore nothing will be forth-
<br /> coming ng in writing until that review is made. Note : Ms . B i shop was not pre-
<br /> sent
<br /> re-sent at the meeting , however , her representative expressed the
<br /> sentiments of Nis . Bishop ) .
<br /> CFB asked if Building #14 was the one i th the f 1 uctuat i ons, he said the information the BOH
<br /> would need fry the Water Canissioners, what the situation is insbfar as bringing water out- .
<br /> side to the area.
<br /> Mrs. Thomas asked els. Charane if whe wanted to sit everything that happened or if she only
<br /> wanted to corer the cDnd nnat ion' aspect.
<br /> CFB felt it would be a pant of the condemnation, he felt that an arrival would have to be rea-
<br /> ched as to what options we have,
<br /> i y 4 F t
<br /> BJT gage the highlights of the morning happenings:
<br /> a. With the evaluation assessment from ERA, she thought 'we' were looking at a different
<br /> type of ball game frn DEQE, that -by the time can get water in there and p roar i de a l l
<br /> those things to have a water supply it will some time, it has to be an interim so-
<br /> lution, DEE will be sending a 'letter of responsibility' to the Town, and what that
<br /> will do is trigger the process that per its thea to use I Super Fuad' moray, and to
<br /> have their 'FIT TEAMS", which is Field Investigative Technicians to look at the pos-
<br /> s i b i l i ter of interchanging the wells at Sumerwood, or, close dowry the bad wells and
<br /> hoof into the g ood wells. If they had their 1 drurthers' they would like to do a tem-
<br /> porary set-up, when they look at the Town's t erne fr'arr of putt i n in awater system
<br /> that would go- past the freezing system and that's in-ground.
<br /> b. The second thing they are concerned about sher's Path, that one house there and that
<br /> can't be meso 1 v d in the same manner, so wfiat they would look to thea using a fil-
<br /> tering
<br /> il-tering system; the concern with the filter is that it doesn't kill all the bacteria
<br /> however, forge Hwfelder of the BCS discussed hooking into the hot nater and they
<br /> thought that would be acceptable. In math the mere and Ashers Path situation
<br /> that would be acceptable for drinking water but they could not bathe.
<br /> CFB recapped the options:
<br /> 1. Prov i d i ng water to the entire area , which we are work i n on but i3*saTewhere dawn
<br /> the line
<br /> 2. Sorrrehow coming up to using the good wells in the &xffmrwxxJ area to provide water to
<br /> those we night be forced to close,
<br /> .. And for Ashers Path, to adopt a filter, and i irrrag i ne for a filter process for that,
