2. Civic Association Request for Study.
Mr. Harrington reported that he had been invited to attend a recent meeting
held by the Civic Association at which the extension of the private sewer
system was discussed. It was noted that only those who are already on
the system were in favor of extending it. Most others believed there are
no reasons for changing from a septic tank to a sewer system.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearinq
Town Commission -March 8, 1996 page 2
Mr. Harrington advised that it was concluded that if those on septic tanks
were aware of contamination being present, they might be more supportive
of extending the sewer system. He further advised that a motion was made
to request that the, Town arrange for testing for contamination but that
no written request had been received with regard to this. Mr. Harrington
stated he was reporting on this for informational purposes only. He added
�that the Town's engineers were present at this meeting and gave some cost
j figures on a similar study that had been done for Jupiter and Tequesta. He
advised that he planned to talk more to the engineer about this matter and
make some other inquires. Commissioner True questioned if the Town should
move forward with this matter prior to receiving a written request from
the Civic Association outlining exactly what they are asking for. The
Commissioners agreed that no expenditure of funds should be made at this
time but felt it would be helpful to have as much information as possible
in regard to such studies and conditions.
