MINUTES October 13, 1994 13 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Marsters responded, "No, but I think they may be pretty well built out over there too." "I can't verify that but I am 95% sure." Mr. Doherty stated, "When the developer of an individual homeowner, if town water indeed does run adjacent to anyone of the four property lines, then town water is the only acceptable source however, as we do review these on a case by case basis as you have presented something that is kind of weird, I will yield my position and agree to rescind the vote." "Only because you have raised the issue of accessibility in crossing private property." "If that were a public road then I wouldn't go with it." "I may regret this because precedence is something that always comes back to haunt us." Mr. Evans commented, "Twenty years from now those people are going to say how come we didn't get town water and they are not even going to be the people who own the property now." Mr. McQuaid commented, "I was hoping for some input Orin, thank you." Mr. Marsters stated, "But you know something, twenty years from now they can have town water if they want it." Mr. McQuaid stated, "$5,000.00 per lot as a developer is not....." Mr. Cram stated, "Nowadays, twenty years from now it may end up being $25,000.00 per lot." Mr. McQuaid stated, "Right, your tacking on $5,000.00 per constructed house on a lot." Mr. Ball stated, "It doesn't matter what he did let's stick to this on how he charges the people." Mr. Doherty stated, "How he charges the people is irrelevant to us." Mr. Evans commented, "We have families with children who will be drinking water that's probably less than we would accept for any other new house that's available that has water there." Mr. Ball commented, "If the water tests come out and it's acceptable by the State and Federal regulations then it's good water." Mr. Evans stated, "If you have 5 p.p.m. iron it's good water."
