Board of Health Minutes 12/05/07
December 5, 2007

Attendees:  Mike Renahan, PersonNameJan Buhrman, Sylvia Yeomans

Linda & Paul Levy (26-75) – The Board viewed a well relocation request submitted by Brooks Billingham.  The Board did not make a determination on this yet.  They want to know why the existing well is being replaced.  

Ted Mayhew (26-53) – Carl Flanders submitted a floor plan for a renovation at Mr. Mayhew’s house and a site drawing from Kent Healy locating the septic system.   Since there is no change in bedroom count and the change in footprint does not interfere with the existing septic system, the Board has determined that this renovation will not interfere with the existing septic system operation.

The following Sewage Disposal Reports were received:
    Balik (13-12) – Passes                               May Estate (33-123) – Passes
