surcharge added to it. Right now the Village Green residents are <br />receiving water from the park owners; it is the owners' responsi- <br />bility to supply them the water and wastewater. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that, in other words, the park owner <br />pays the 50a surcharge; it is not passed through; and that money <br />comes to the county Utilities Department. This was confirmed. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Robert Gornall, president of Village Green Home Owners <br />Association, thanked the Board for their continued interest and <br />concern about the residents' water and sewage problem. He <br />noted that it is their understanding that the terms of the May, <br />1988, agreement between the County and Wilder Corporation <br />required them to complete renovation on the existing plant or <br />hook up permanently to the county water system.

Their water has been shut off time <br />and time again without any advance warning. In addition to the <br />many shut -offs, their water was undrinkable for weeks prior to <br />May 17th making it necessary for residents to purchase water. <br />They now understand that Wilder Corp. has decided to renovate the <br />existing facility, and that decision is of great concern to the <br />residents because they have no confidence that the renovated <br />plant will be any better run or maintained than it was in the <br />past. Furthermore, they are concerned that they might proceed <br />with renovation of the plant without receiving state or county <br />approval of their plans and then disconnect from the county <br />water. The residents are relying on the county to see the plans <br />are properly done and that there are licensed operators and <br />inspections, proper back up equipment, etc. Mr. Gornall noted <br />that they are equally concerned about the sewage system, but they <br />believe that the county officials will adequately address both <br />• •. <br />OCT 18 1988 <br />21 <br />BOOK 74 P"CE.541 <br />
