The full story

Staff presented a developer inquiry asking whether a single new home on Kennard Road could connect to the town’s sanitary sewer only while keeping a private well for water. Councilors and staff discussed whether local ordinances or county health code require abandonment of a well upon connection and noted the matter often operates as a package deal (water and sewer). The staff member proposed returning with an answer at the next council meeting; the council moved to table the request and directed staff to check applicable ordinances and health code requirements.
