They are making it more restrictive to protect from contamination. She read an article from the Sun Chronicle dated Monday, May 23, 1983. This article was entitled, "Septic System Rules Tightened in Plainville". In this article it states how Plainville is making the regulations more restrictive than the state's regulations. She pointed out that other towns are making the regulations more restrictive, and Mansfield is now perking all year round. She asked what the Planning Board thought about this. Chairman Genatossio pointed out that the Planning Board may only make a recommendation to the Board of Health, and this is under their jurisdiction. She also suggested that Margot Jellinek bring this to the attention of the Board of Health also. Motion: To send a letter to the Board of Health requesting the perk season go back to December through April, explain that other towns are making perk tests more restrictive Also if perk testing is done all year round, land may perk that wouldn't have in the months Dec. to April.
