Resident asks how to connect to Trappe sewer; fire department reports federal grant for new station
Summary
A Piney Hill Road homeowner asked how to connect to town sewer if his septic fails; the town attorney said the homeowner would bear the cost to run a sewer main and must consult the Talbot County Health Department on septic issues. Separately, the fire department reported receiving federal funding for a new fire house and is pursuing permits and additional fundraising.
During the public comment period, Brian Endzel, a property owner on Piney Hill Road within town limits but currently served by a septic system, asked how to connect to Town sewer should his septic fail. Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan responded that Mr. Endzel would be financially responsible to run the sewer main from the closest endpoint to his property and that any questions specific to his septic system should be addressed to the Talbot County Health Department.
Nick Newnam thanked the council for its assistance with the softball field project. Cheryl Lewis said the fire department received federal grant funding for a new fire house; she said the department is working on permits and continuing to raise funds. The meeting minutes do not specify grant amounts or permit timelines.
