Owner proposes emergency septic replacement at 7 Garfield after cesspool collapse

Paul Gunn of Morse Engineering said the existing cesspool at 7 Garfield Street collapsed roughly a month earlier and the site has been roped off since. He described the proposal to remove the failed cesspool and install a Title 5-compliant septic system consisting of a 1,500-gallon septic tank and a conventional crushed-stone leaching field, contained within previously disturbed sandy lawn areas and kept as far from the South River as the property allows.
