2 <br /> Y <br /> } <br /> Mr, Harrington began by stating that they sent letters out to the fire <br /> people on the street because of the well setback issue. He received a call <br /> from one abutter to 110 and received a letter from the other abutter* <br /> These folks were present from that neighborhood as well. Essentially <br /> what has happened is that the wells and the setbacks are in some cases <br /> less that 10 01 apart. The 1001 is the state minimurm* Mr. McEntee was <br /> i present as the engineer for the applicant at I 10 old Great Heck Bead. <br /> They have a failed septic system. That kind of spurred the start of this <br /> process. The problem has always been there but now that somebody <br /> finally had to upgrade their septic It's kind of brought everything to a <br /> head. They notified everybody on the street so that they could figure out <br /> what to do. Town water was slated to come through. They wanted to <br /> notify everybody and request that they hook up rather than go through <br /> enforcement procedures. one option that they wanted to discuss as a <br /> board is that in connecting up to town water and upgrading the septic <br /> system, There were monies available through the community septic loam <br /> program. The septic could also be upgraded as well as adding the cost of <br /> the water hook up could' be covered by the loan program. They hoped to <br /> make the homeowners aware on that street that that was available. <br /> I <br /> Mr. Berry of 10 Tracy Road noted that he was under the impression that <br /> v his system net all of the Title V requirements when they bought the <br /> i . <br /> house. They bought the house in 1999. <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that their septic may have passed inspection and <br /> they may have been over 100". If they had the 1001 that was the status <br /> minimum, They have a local 1501 requirement, None of the properties <br /> there can make it because it was all 1001 [ 1001. The sizes of the septic <br /> systems now take up enough area where the o" isn't even possible* You <br /> would have to request a variance to upgrade their septic. The 1501 rule <br /> requires that you connect up to torn water as a condition. That is why <br /> they wanted to notify people ahead of time to do it rather than having to <br /> go through any type of enforcement. <br /> Mrs. Berry asked if that would take care of the upgrade of the septic <br /> system or do they have to do something else. <br /> Ms. Warden interjected that she thought that these folk were under the <br /> impression that they were required to upgrade. They were just advising <br /> them that the wells out there are probably bad, <br /> Ir* Berry noted that they didn't drink the water, <br /> Mr, Harrington didn't want that, They wanted everyone to get into town <br /> water with a suitable potable water system, <br />
