Resident asks how to connect Piney Hill Road property to town sewer; town says homeowner bears cost
Summary
A Piney Hill Road property owner asked how to connect to town sewer if his septic fails; the town attorney said the homeowner would be financially responsible to run the sewer main from the closest endpoint and should contact Talbot County Health Department about septic issues.
During public comment, property owner Brian Endzel asked how he could connect a property inside Trappe limits on Piney Hill Road that currently uses a septic system in the event the septic fails. Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan replied that Mr. Endzel "would be financially responsible to run the sewer main from the closest end point to his property" and that questions about the septic system itself must be addressed to the Talbot County Health Department.
The Council did not take additional action at the meeting; the exchange clarifies that property owners bear the connection cost for extending sewer mains from existing endpoints and that septic-system questions fall under county public health jurisdiction.
