Septic Failure






















In a little news from Town Hall, it seems that the old septic system in the building has failed. The trouble began last week when the toilets backed up. The bathrooms were immediately closed and situation was investigated. Since there had never been trouble with the plumbing before no one in town hall knew what kind of system was installed or where the pipes and tank (if there was one) were located. After several days of digging and searching the pipe was located. The workers followed it out of the building to discover that there was no tank only a cesspool. It was deemed to be in substandard condition and the town was forced to abandon it. The photo above shows Supervisor Rob Stanley working with the DEP and the members of the highway department to try and sort the matter out. No word yet on what the plans are for remedying the situation. I am sure there will be much discussion among the town board members. I will keep you posted.
