Dear Mr. Butterfield:
Due to the extremely wet year, we realize that the required repair of your septic system may
have been difficult to complete last summer. This is a reminder that the septic system repair
will be required next year.
A licensed-septic contractor must get a permit from the City of Orono by July 15, 1994 for the
repair of your septic system. The procedure for completing septic system repairs is shown
below. Please contact me at the City offices if there are any questions.
PROCEDURE FOR SEPTIC SYSTEM REPAIR
1. Hire a Site Evaluator/System Designer to do the soil testing and system design.
2. Submit the design to the City for approval.
3. Once the design is approved, have one or more contractors bid on the approved design.
4. The contractor you choose should then obtain a permit from the City before starting work.
He will call the City for the required inspections.
Sincerely,
.5264 . , / _ . g____.--

Dear Sir:
We talked to a plumber (John Day) and he claims that 90% of our
problem is surface water. First of all, our house was built one block
too low and we have water in the basement which drains out through the
basement drains.
Of course we were inspected during the 3 months worsed rainfall
in 20 or 30 years. (Murphy' s Law). Would you please check again and
be certain that things are as bad as you say.
Moneywise, between the house payments, taxes and medical bills,
there is no way we can take on a debt like this at this time. The
alternative would be sell the property and put a clause in the contract
saying there is a problem.
Please get back to us as soon as possible. 473-1953
Yours very truly,
