Summary

After a year of unsuccessful contact with the resident, the Board voted 4-0-0 to sign and send an Order to Remedy the nuisance at 16 Summer Street for a malfunctioning wastewater disposal unit.

The Vinalhaven Board of Selectmen on July 28 authorized a formal Order to Remedy a malfunctioning wastewater disposal unit at 16 Summer Street after Town Manager Marjorie Stratton reported a year of unsuccessful attempts to obtain remediation from the property owner, Elaine Drury. Pam Alley moved to sign and send the Order to Remedy; Leslie Dyer seconded and the Board voted 4-0-0.

The minutes record that no further remedial action had been taken by the resident over the past year and that the next procedural step is a formal Order to Remedy the nuisance.
