MINUTES October 13, 1994 20 BOARD OF HEALTH installation of private wells on lots #5 & 6 Windermere Way, Mr. Ball seconded. Mr. Cram abstained. Mr. Ball commented, "I think because of this I think we should review our policy." Mr. Doherty stated, "I am not happy with this but maybe in the interest of fairness but certainly not in the interest of public health because of the issue of the private roads and the accessibility is the only reason I went that way." "I probably will regret it." Mr. Marsters stated, "Just so you know that I am a guy who is behind town water 100%." "The lots I am doing over on Quashnet Valley right now that are wells that the Water Department said they were going to vote in to put town water in there when it comes free of charge for the people, I'll lay the water line for them." "If that's not encouraging everybody to hook into town water I don't know what is." "I am doing that free of charge for them." "There will come a day when they are all going to want to hook up to town water and I, in turn will offer them a low rate service through my plumber and with the excavator to get as much town water as we can." "I am not anti town water, I don't want you to think that." "We are doing all we can to promote town water in the developments where we are actually the developer."
