Mr. Combiths stated that the Town Engineer John Hawley had advised that they had discovered a
private lateral entering our system on Route 11, in the vicinity of B & G Motors, Northwood Drive
area on opposite side of the highway and in measuring, about 28,000 gallons per day flow from
the private lateral into our sewer system. Sewer treatment charge comes out to about $14.00/day,
$400/month. Residents are elderly and money is not available to make the repairs.
Line can be plugged or work out a possible loan agreement with the owners. The lateral sits in a
natural spring, has a break, and appears to be a constant flow.
After discussion by Council, Mr. Combiths will bring back a recommendation from
Administration.
