Zieaaers <br />This letter la in response to your inquiry regarding City requiresmnts <br />for a septic syatee if you construct a residence on the above referenced <br />property. As you correctly noted, the property is within an area the City <br />is considering for potential installation of municipal sewers. <br />Because there is a potential that the property may be provided with <br />■uncipal sewer in the relatively near future, connection of a new house to <br />the existing septic systee is a reasonable request. It would seen unfair <br />to have you spend perhaps as much as $4,000 to $8,000 on a septic systesi <br />and then require you to pay assessments for and connect to a municipal <br />sewer a year or two later. <br />However, at this point in time there does not seem to be any real push <br />by the City Council nor the affected property owners to initiate a project, <br />and no meetings to discuss the issue are currently scheduled. It would <br />seem that even if meetings and hearings did commence this fall, and if a <br />decision was made to proceed, actual hook-up availability would likely not <br />occur until late 1989 or 1990. <br />Given this lack of a definite timetable, the City’s concerns with your <br />request are two-foldt <br />a) Hill the existing septic system continue to function adequately <br />for an interim period until sewer is available? <br />B) If sewer does not become available within a reasonable time <br />period, can the property support installation of a new conforming <br />septic system? <br />We have very little information on the design of the existing system, <br />and our past inspections have indicated that there appear to be two tanks <br />of unknown design and capacity, and only one known drainfield line of about <br />60* in length. This system would undoubtedly be categorised as quite sub­ <br />standard in design and capacity under current codes, and would not be <br />considered as acceptable for a new house on the property except on a short­ <br />term, interim basis. <br />SUILMNG a lONlNG - 471*7157 <br />ASUIHNG <br />ADMIN1ST1IAT10N A FINAMTC - 471-7JSI nmuc WORKS >471-7159
