Chairman Tartufo requested that Health Agent find out when the last readings were taken. - Homestead Restaurant is having problems with their septic system again. The original system was designed to accomodate the original size of the building. Since they have expanded, the system is no longer sufficient. Health Agent reminded the Board of problems the Homestead was having this past Spring when sewerage was over flowing; system was being pumped daily. They presently have an Engineer trying to design a new septic system. Health Agent spoke with D.E.Q.E. System should go over 15,000 gallons per day flow, which would come under their jurisdiction.
