MINUTES October 13, 1994 18 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> didn't want it." "The situation there was town water is available people, do you want it <br /> you will have to pay a betterment and the people said no we don't." "We choose not to <br /> pay for the betterment, we choose not to have town water." "So I think it gets back to the <br /> availability issue." "I don't think we should be in the business to make people take town <br /> water to cross other people's properties, they're going to argue hardship on you." <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "Kenny, you said a few minutes ago that the financial <br /> question is almost irrelevant." "Did you not say that?" <br /> Mr. Marsters stated, "Well, no." "I'll be honest with you I want to_...." "No, I <br /> don't think it's irrelevant, no." "I'm not going to come here and say financial hardship." <br /> "Yes, If the Board will not buy my petition of fair play then I'll say okay financial <br /> hardship." "But I think, yah, it's more fair play than anything else." <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "So your saying being allowed to put in wells instead of <br /> bringing town water in is significantly less expensive to you." <br /> Mr. Marsters responded, "Yah, Yah." "Especially when you have to cross 250' of <br /> property that you don't own and that you don't get the bank for." "100% of that 250' <br /> cost is you're going to be paying $10,000.00." <br /> Mr. Cram commented, "The difference between town water being brought down <br /> and installed and two wells is probably a 50% difference." <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "I thought he said that the finances weren't really that <br /> significant." <br /> Mr. Marsters stated, "They can easily have town water if they go to the town and <br /> petition the rest of the lot owners to have it." <br /> Mr. Ball stated, "If you do deny it, it is going to create a lot of problems not only <br /> with developers and homeowners too because now we're going to start making <br /> homeowners bring water in on a private road when water goes by." <br /> Mr. Cram questioned, "Don't we have that obligation." <br /> Mr. Ball and Mr. Doherty both responded, "No." <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "They have the choice not the obligation." <br /> f <br />
