Otis board approves septic-system conversion at 81 N Gate Island
Summary
The board approved a proposal to replace a tight tank with a traditional IA pretreated septic system at 81 N Gate Island, subject to standard well testing protocols; vote was unanimous 3-0.
The Select Board approved a proposal on July 28 to allow a property at 81 N Gate Island to replace an existing tight tank with a traditional IA pretreated septic system.
Applicant Mike Kulig presented plans alongside the property owner. Health agent/inspector Jim Wilusz noted the proposed system would be about 65 feet from a neighbor’s well and recommended standard baseline testing and a one-year follow-up for the well to ensure no impact. Wilusz said he has "never seen an IA system compromise a well," and the board accepted his recommendation.
Larry Southard moved to approve the installation and Terry Gould seconded; the motion passed unanimously, 3-0. Abutter notifications were sent as part of the review process. The board did not note further conditions beyond the usual baseline and follow-up testing requirement.
Next administrative steps include filing approval with the Health Department and conducting the recommended well tests.
