MINUTES June 25, 1998 3 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. Gordon commented, "I own three lots in the industrial park." "I have <br /> researched the water use." "We use 137 gallons per day." "The system was designed for <br /> 1200 gallons per day." "Residential requirements are between 50 and 70,000 gallons per <br /> day." "The Board should include residential properties as they are a bigger user than <br /> commercial properties." "We should wart until the technology is perfected." "I am very <br /> concerned with the cost of innovative systems." "Residential and commercial have been <br /> excluded." "We shouldn't be subjected to regulations unless they apply to all uses." <br /> Ms. Caine relayed, "I am concerned with Mr. McQuaid's comment that 5 m.g.l.'s <br /> can't be achieved."

"Commercial usage is much higher than industrial." "Industrial <br /> systems are comparable to residential." <br /> Mr. Baker relayed, "There should be some number where you set a limit for <br /> gallons per day."
