To: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />From: Lyle Oman, Field Inspector <br />Date: March 9, 1988 <br />Subject: 1340 Baldur Park Road, Orono <br />I received a call from a person who said his girl friend's <br />sewer was backing up. He first talked to Jack Brinkhaus asking <br />if there were any problems with sewer in the area. Jack told him <br />it was not connected to sewer and gave the call to me. I told <br />the person I would pull the card and meet him on site. I arrived <br />on site and met a man and woman. I told them we have no record <br />of the septic system but our records presumed there are 2 <br />systems. The woman told me that was probably the case because <br />the house was only a basement house at one time. I began to <br />probe probable areas but could not find any tanks. The woman <br />asked why the house was not hooked to sewer. I told her I was <br />unclear on the history but it was probably because the owners <br />resisted. She then told me her mother was the owner. During the <br />course of the discussion we presumed the basement was on one <br />system and when the 2nd floor was constructed the 2nd system was <br />added for the plumbing for that floor. Therefore, I suggested <br />they use the plumbing upstairs only until the problem was taken <br />care of. The boy friend then stated "ya, at least the guys <br />renting the upstairs can use their plumbing". I asked how much <br />plumbing there was in the basement and he said "Oh, there is a <br />whole apartment down there". <br />We continued to search for drainfield and tanks but were <br />unsuccessful. He asked for suggestions. I said hook up to <br />sewer. I also suggested calling the local septic tank pumpers <br />and ask if they have ever been to the property to pump or if' they <br />have any means of finding the tanks. <br />
