<br /> Discussion of Asher's Path Hook-up to Town Sewer: The board agreed to move the sewer
<br /> discussion of Asher's Path Hook-up to Town Sewer to next on the agenda so that Ray Jack, Town
<br /> Engineer could explain the proposed connection. Asher's Path is in Phase I of the sewer
<br /> connection area. The main fitting and connection point have already been installed on Carleton
<br /> Drive. Mr. Jack explained the existing septic system set up at Asher's Path, and there is about 340
<br /> feet run from Asher's existing system to the connection point. The Town procured the plant
<br /> construction under chapter 149. Since Mashpee Housing Authority is a tax-exempt quasi body
<br /> recognized by the state, Mr. Jack and Ms. Conn are exploring the options of connecting Asher's
<br /> Path to the Town Sewer plant under the Town's contract. The cost of the connection will need to
<br /> be reimbursed to the Town by Asher's Path. Mr. Jack will discuss the possibility of this with the
<br /> Town Counsel, and Ms. Conn will discuss this with the Housing Authority's legal counsel. This
<br /> project will be mutually beneficial both to Asher's Path and the Town of Mashpee. Ms. Conn will
<br /> be the liaison between the Town and the Housing Authority in exploring the legalities of
<br /> connecting Asher's Path to the new sewer plant under the Town's contract.
