In answer to questions, it was advised that the sewer project was not mandated by the state, but the funding was available including a 1.8 million-dollar grant.
Henry Antonini advised that due to a change of sewer lines on Parke Street, because of utility lines and a fiber optic line on Washington, additional easements are required, causing a slight delay in those areas.
The date for starting up the sewer plant will depend on whether the plant can be run efficiently with only a portion of users hooked on.
Residents were advised that a 3-month summer allowance would be made for persons with pools or who water their lawns or gardens.
Resident Roberta Luce questioned her double sewer bill again. It was decided to contact the rate consultant for his advice.
Mrs. Andy Beverly was advised that four council members checked the property on Fulton and also talked with the county health department. Our recourse is very limited and the only actions we can take at this time is to write a letter asking that the property owner keep the property clean. We have no authority to inspect the inside of the trailers. We will continue to monitor the property.
