Two leaching pits are full. Two potential buyers have been lost because of the septic failures. There are five units of two bedrooms each, and ten bedrooms in each of those buildings, putting them over the boo gallons per day regulation. Attorney McNichols for Surnmerwood Condominiums asked what kind of timeline they have to upgrade the system. Tho Association will take their fully allotted time of two years to upgrade to a denite system. Since the two leaching pits are full, they do not have two years to upgrade. Other residential condominiums are going to be running into the same kind of problem and will have to do the upgrade. Glen suggested an option would be to give them the chance to put in a standard system with the stipulation that they come back as a Condominium Association and do something association-wide for the condominiums, or at least do the work in phases. Glen Harrington expressed to Attorney McNichols that if the county gets the$10 million they are going for through the neva Septic Loan Program legislation# that money can be used for residential condominiums. Veronica Warden will call Attorney McNichols to inform her that the B H wants the 600 gallons i per day regulation to be strictly enforced.
