John Bevis here to tell us about septic options in our subdivision the house in question is waiting for the board decision to allow discharge in to the retention pond and then they will issue and approve the application and permit the Health Dept was informed this week by Steve after a board vote last month that the entire septic system had to be on their property but we understand with the slope of the ground on their property there will be some run off of clean water in to the retention pond as there also is from two other homes around the pond which was previously approved before a board was formed (by Azzarelli Developement)
Option 1- common drainage tile which could have three houses attached and would drain in a tile to the drain in the retention pond and then on to river The HOA would have to pay for this and the cost is not known at this time Per the Health dept this was originally in the subdivision plans to be done by Azzarelli but was not done and there is no record at the health dept as to why
Option 2- tank and drainage fields is what is already there and has failed so this is not an option for the homeowner
Option 3- Aeration system with direct discharge on their property and then going to the retention pond due to the slope of the land There could be a pipe or a rock receiving area whcih would also be on their property There are already 2 others around the pond with this type of system one is 10 feet from the property line which is now code and the other received a variance and was allowed to drain directly in to the retention pond (This was again done before a HOA was formed ) Aeration systems treat themselves and discharge clean water they must be inspected and pumped every 6 months by the homeowner This is the plan that will be recommended to the homeowner by John Bevis Mr Bevis said there are pamplets available at the Health Dept to educate homeowners on their systems as he stated many people never get their systems pumped or checked and this should be done every 2-3 years we will get some information for the annual meeting
