Resident asks Epping commission for sewer connection to vacant lot next to Walgreens
Summary
Christina Grammas asked the Water & Sewer Commission for a sewer connection to a vacant lot adjacent to Walgreens, saying she needs 1,000 gpd to match her water allocation; the board said it will ask the State about allowing a small number of sewer connections and will follow up with her.
Christina Grammas addressed the Water & Sewer Commission on April 7 to request a sewer connection for a vacant lot next to the Walgreens in Epping. Grammas said she needs 1,000 gallons per day to match an existing water allocation for the parcel.
The commission did not approve a connection at the meeting. Commissioners and staff said they will request guidance from the State on whether a small number of sewer connections can be allowed for the location and will report back to Grammas when the review is complete. No timeline for the state response was provided at the meeting.
Why it matters: a new sewer connection at this site would affect allocation of sewer capacity and could set a precedent for future small-lot connections near commercial parcels. The commission treated the request as an operational permitting question requiring state approval rather than an immediate administrative grant.
