Board directs staff to warn owners of 84 Hiram Pond Road; court or condemnation possible if O&M contract not provided
Summary
The board voted to have the health department send a letter to the owners of 84 Hiram Pond Road requiring a valid operation-and-maintenance contract for their innovative alternative septic system; if the contract is not in place by the July meeting, the board will consider moving the matter to court or condemning the property.
Board members directed health department staff June 11 to draft and send a letter to the owners of 84 Hiram Pond Road warning that the Board of Health requires a valid operation-and-maintenance (O&M) contract for the property’s innovative alternative septic system and that the board could send the matter to court or condemn the property if the deficiency is not corrected.
One board member suggested immediate court referral or condemnation; the board agreed instead to have staff notify the owners and continue the matter to the July meeting. The motion to instruct the health department to draft the letter and pursue those options if the O&M contract remains absent passed unanimously.
The board’s action preserves enforcement options while giving the property owner a defined period to provide evidence of compliance.
