T�`ike Gaf�'ron <br /> Cit� of Qrono <br /> 2750 Kel)_ey Park4ray <br /> P.�. �ox 66 <br /> Crystal Bay� r�n. 55323 <br /> Dear T�qr. Gaffron: <br /> This is an official re,�uest to a11.ow The T�ToocLlands to connect to <br /> tne city sewer system. � As you are no doubt aware� we have had a <br /> difficult time maintaining a viable mound septic s;ystem.. <br /> The i�loodlands is a group home for 6 retarded youn� adults. mhe <br /> home was built and has operated since Jttly 1, 1931� It is op�rated <br /> by the non-profit corporati_on, Orono 4doodlands, Inc. <br /> In 1993 the orininal drain tile system failed and a neUrr�ound s,ystem <br /> was installed at a cost of 5� 15�OOd. This was nossible only trhen tae <br /> were able to ac�uire an additi�nal site from the next door neighbcr. <br /> This was our only sol.ution at that time in spite of the fact that the <br /> house was built on the rea,uired two acre lot.. <br /> Last year the new mound s�rstem �egan failing. ;'e have had the experts <br /> e�amine the system and have follow'ed all the sug�estions for repairs� <br /> but the system continues to deteriorate. 1�^1e are currently having to <br /> have the tanlcs puriped out every month, at considerable e,rnense. This <br /> helps in a small ti�ray but does not cure the problem. <br /> The experts now believe that the problem is due to tlie typ� of residence <br /> The ?.doodlands is. The six developmently disabled a�u7.ts living there <br /> require the use of frec}uent anti biotic and berat.ri,or controlling dru¢s <br /> prescribed by their doctors. It apnears that these necessarv dru�s <br /> effect the bac�teria action in the septic syst�m� causing it t�� �ail. <br /> There seems to be no other solution to maintain� this home for ttle�e <br /> disab�_ed young people so we urgently request that we be allowed to <br /> connect to the citv sewer. <br /> Thank ;yvu for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely� <br /> , <br /> ,���� ' <br /> Paul Phil.lips �� <br /> President <br /> Orono Woodlands, Ine.A Non Profit Home for Developmentally Handieapped Persons. <br />
