Board approves order to correct failing septic at 14 Oak Ridge Drive
Summary
The Select Board voted to authorize an order to correct a malfunctioning wastewater disposal unit at 14 Oak Ridge Drive for property owner Norman Wysocki, giving the homeowner 10 days to comply before town remediation and potential tax assessment.
The board approved an order to correct a failing septic system at 14 Oak Ridge Drive after a code-officer inspection and staff briefing.
"We do have a report from our code officer in regards to a failing septic at 14 Oak Ridge Drive," the committee member (Speaker 5) told the board, noting the homeowner is hospitalized and that children live at the property. Staff explained that if repairs are not completed within 10 days the town may correct the condition and pursue reimbursement through a special tax or lien.
Board members discussed access constraints and repair scope. An agency official (Speaker 7) said the system may lack a required distribution box and estimated that a full field replacement could exceed $20,000. Staff said a short diagnostic and limited excavation could cost about $600. The Chair (Speaker 2) moved to approve the order to correct for property owner Norman Wysocki; a second was recorded and the board voted to proceed with service of the order and follow-up actions.
Board members directed staff to contact the mortgage company or escrow holder where appropriate and to arrange for service of the corrective order; the board authorized a select-board member to serve the order rather than the sheriff's office.
