The Wegman building has been vacant for most of a year. The Forland rental building at 4590 Main Street drains waste to the septic tank located on the Wegman property. Waste from this septic tank is pumped to a drainfield located on the Forland property. The Forland rental house at 4586 Main Street drains waste to a septic tank located on the Forland property and drains to the drainfield mentioned above. I was notified earlier this week that the drainfield located on the above-captioned parcel was saturated. This would mean it is an imminent public health threat. I had a licensed SSTS Inspector check on it for me and found the following: 1. The septic tank on the Wegman property needs to be pumped immediately. The Wegman building has been mostly vacant the past year and the waste from the Forland rental building drains to that septic tank. 2. The septic tank on the Forland property needs to be pumped soon or it could back-up into the rental house. 3. The lift pump on the Wegman property needs to be replaced. 4. The first 2 trenches of the drainfield had water standing in them at the inspection pipes;the next 4 trenches were normal. "Thrs institution is an equal opponunity provider and employer:"
