SEPTIC TANK DISPOSAL
Dale Owens, a rural Ault residence, is
starting a septic tank business. At the
present time when you pump a septic
tank the sewage has to be hauled to Ft.
Collins or Denver. Greeley will not
accept septic tank disposal. Weld
County will now allow you to spread
septic tank disposal on certain fields,
after collecting 10,000 gallons in
tanks, spreading waste, and covering
for twelve hours. In the wintertime
this process can not be performed. Dale
came before the Board this evening to
request permission to dump septic tank
waste into Aults sewage lagoon during
winter months. There would be no waste
from grease or sand traps. Invoices
from each customer would be provided.

The current rates from Ft Collins,
Lamier County, and Metropolitian Denver
Sewage are as follows:
Ft. Collins--$.05 per 1000
Outside Lamier Co. --$.07 per 1000
Denver--$. 59 per 1000
Trustee Rau stated that he felt that it
would be premature to approve this
matter tonight. Discussion needs to be
held, information gathered, and rules
initiated, before an agreement can be
reached. NOTION WAS MADE BY TRUSTEE

Board meeting. It was noted that
the bill for the outside library light
was taken out of the Library
Account. This will be corrected as

reports immediately after the Ault

month. The library can make the

Mayor Gieck and Clerk Lesh to review
and provide information on the
care of the street trees. His

insecticide for tree bores. The
cement blocks at the tree bases
should be removed, a well 4- 6" deep
made around the base of each tree, and
a slow irrigation done regularly.
After thoroughly watering, fertilizer
should be administered. The wells
at the base of the trees should be
filled with mulch, chips, with or
without landscape fabric.
Alley weeds were discussed. No action
was taken„ The maintenance man is to
spray the weeds in the streets.
Mayor Gieck addressed the need for
revision of the tree ordinance. List of
approved trees should be revised.

suggested talking with the business
association and adopt the street trees
to a business or group to maintain the
base of the trees with flowers, watering
etc.
Trustee Rau addressed the possibility of111

possibility of obtaining mulch from the
