Mrs. Tim Gallant came into the meeting regarding sewer service to her property on Mt. View Place. This is a flag lot and is less than 200 feet from the sewer, so according to District rules must connect to live sewer rather than have a cess pool. Mrs. Gallant stated that they were 225 feet from the sewer and that the people on both sides were on cess pool, that it would work a financial hardship on them and even might keep them from completing their plans. She had also contacted Edison regarding cost of operating a pump. She stated that this cost would also be excessive and she felt they would have to have a pump because the lot was below the street grade. Mike Payne stated that he did not have a lot elevation and could not tell at this point whether a pump would be required or not. Discussion. Staff directed to consult with our sewer consultants and look into all alternatives, get the elevation of the lot and the sewer line and come back to the Board with all these answers and the Board would reconsider and notify Mrs. Gallant of the results. President Knauft thanked Mrs. Gallant for her time and her presentation.
