The Board met with Deb & Cliff Hunt, owners of 333 Main Street to discuss their current septic system. The system is currently not in compliance and they would like to explore different solutions to the problem. Rich Stevens stated that he spoke to DPW Superintendent, Joe Buckley regarding their system. Joe Buckley said that the Town has not accepted pressure line, head pressure is so great. A gravity line should have been put in. He does not want to allow any other tie ins at this time. The Board referred the owners to contact the DPW and Board of Selectmen then respond back to the Board of Health if they want to put in a new septic system.
