It has come to our attention that there is a shared septic system <br /> next door for the old Methodist Church (Devine Cafe), Just Your <br /> Style Salon (former bakery) and the house behind. There are 2 <br /> parcels involved. Each parcel received a Certificate of Compliance <br /> when purchased in 2004 and 2005. The changes in use triggered <br /> our concern that this septic system could fail. It is within our <br /> Wellhead Protection area and there are wells in the area. <br /> Brett and I met with a consultant who gave us great information, <br /> but it would be very costly for the property owners. A grease trap <br /> would need to be installed at the Cafe and install another 1350 <br /> tank. The existing system would need to be verified for the Salon <br /> and house. If this system was compliant, a holding tank would <br /> need to be installed, requiring regular pumping and maintenance. <br /> (Chemicals from the Salon cannot go into the septic tank or <br /> drainfield.) Existing wells would need to be tested for coliform <br /> and nitrates. <br /> We have discussed municipal sewer as an alternative. Sanitary <br /> sewer could be extended from County Road 112, behind Country <br /> Corner, up to the Salon. This would include hooking up Country <br /> Corner, Preferred Property building, Devine Cafe, the house and <br /> the Salon. The City could also benefit by hooking up to this <br /> sanitary sewer extension. The drainfield in front of City Hall could <br /> be abandoned. <br /> We are requesting permission to move ahead with the feasibility <br /> study. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Brett and Dawn <br />
