GALAN'TS: We all know what an expert is, <br />right. In answer to your gilestion, hack as long as three <br />and four years ago, we at the Pealth Department had been <br />asked to identify some areas in this community that should <br />have priority and should have priority for public sewage. <br />And pro' -ably unrermcst in coir mine' was the Rockridge area <br />based on our own experience which had us involved with many, <br />many complaints, neighbor against neighbor, discharges of <br />not only toilet waste or failures of septic tanks, but more <br />specifically the utilization of just straight pipes to the <br />ditch for laundry waste. <br />We had investigated these complaints. We had <br />determined scientifically, in our mind at least, that this <br />area is not appropriate for septic tanks. And I think we've <br />been over and over this as to the high ura ter table, the <br />underlying limestone area, which even if it could accept the <br />effluents it's not a treatable type material. Tn oth.er <br />words, it's not going to effectively treat that effluent. <br />It's going to have fissures, holes, it's aoing to transport <br />it into our ground supply prior to treatment. <br />So dial we have complaints? Yes. I'll he harpv to <br />stand up here and say there were periods of time when people <br />in this room could not flush their toilets, especially <br />during periods of pith rains. <br />.7_AYRATARO $ ASSOCTATFS <br />A Computer Assisted Transcript <br />(3051569-0910 <br />
