Strawberry Fields - Sewer Plan Revision
Barry Ellison, P.E. from Design Professionals presented the application for the relocation of the pump station located in Strawberry Fields on Sullivan Avenue. The pump station will now be relocated away from the wetlands area and closer to the paved road to make maintenance of this facility easier. Mr. Shaw stated there was no problem with this change, but he stated some questions had come up regarding odor control at the pump station during the early part of the operation when very little flow will be going through. A small turn over rate may generate gases which will cause odors, the contractor will be required to add a chemical if it is determined an odor problem exists. Also the original plans showed 4with the updated plan.

735 John Fitch Blvd. Refund of sewer user fees
explained to the commission that there was no difference in a user charge and a tax, therefore if the WPCA agreed to refund the sewer user fees paid in error an ordinance would have to be written and presented to the Town Council for approval. After some discussion it was decided the commission would prepare an ordinance to deal with this matter and cover a period of 20 years for a resident to ask for a refund. An application for a refund will be filed with the WPCA and all necessary conditions must be met. Attorney Guliano agreed to draft a sample ordinance and have it to the commission for the next meeting on December 4, 2001.
