Public statements
Mr. Sinaiko invited statements from the public.
Joanne Cancro, re 8D Commercial
St.. She bought her house in September
2002 and did not realize the prior owner had decided against a sewer
hookup. Now she is having problems with
the septic system. She would like to
hook up to the system. Mr. Sinaiko
advises that priorities are failed systems, failed systems on the water, and
sites that cannot accommodate a Title V system on-site. The Board of Health assigns priorities. He cautions the time frame is not yet
determined.

Mr. Sinaiko noted the Truro Board of Selectmen has approved the

update
Mr. Palmer gave an update noting that water quality at the site is good
and has an approximate yield of 500,000 GPD or better. This data does not preclude examining other
