Department (978)688-9545 Re: Sewer Tie-in Conservation Dear Mr. Burns: Department (978) 688-9530 This letter comes in response to your letter of April 30, 2000 and your complaint about the amount of the DPW permit fee to tie-in to the sewer. The amount of Health the permit fee for municipal sewer tie-in is set by the Board of Selectmen. The Department Board of Health has no part in the decision and has never been asked for input on (978)688-9540 this decision. I can understand your reservations, but, unfortunately, the Board of Health can do nothing to change the fee structure set by the Board of Public Health Selectmen. They are two separate issues. Nurse (978) 688-9543 A letter was sent to the Board of Selectmen from the Board of Health after the previous sewer tie-in meeting that you attended. To date there has been no Planning Department response. I suggest that you contact the Board of Selectmen concerning the tie-in (978)688-9535 fee, The Board of Health must still require that you tie-in to the municipal sewer solely for public health reasons. The Board wishes you luck in your endeavors concerning the tie-in fee. Please feel free to call the office with any technical questions you may have. Sincerely, Sandra Starr, R.S., C.H.O. Health Director Cc: BOH File y April 30, 2000 , In reply to: Letter of Sewer Tie In vtil�� North Andover Board of Health 27 Charles St. North Andover, MA 01845 To Whom It May Concern: Three years ago I appeared before the Board on Health at an open meeting along with other homeowners. I was given the opportunity to speak. I informed the board of health that I was quite willing to tie my property to the sewer line on Appleton St. I did have a question about the permits and fees. I was informed by the Department of Public Works that there is a fee of One Thousand Dollars to obtain a permit. I felt then, as I do now that that fee was exorbitant compared to the fees other towns charge. I asked that because we homeowners are being forced buy the Board of Health to tie in, that the,fee be waived(You actually get nothing of value for the fee). In fact, because of your ruling, my water/sewer bill will at least double. At that time the Board was unaware of the cost of the fee and the chairman stated that he would take this under advisement. I called a month later and was informed of no movement on this issue. The only correspondence I have received about this issue was your demanding letter on March 24. I have been a good citizen of this town for 12 years. I am very sensitive to the needs of the North Andover water supply and groundwater. As I was three years ago, I am ready to pay a contractor to tie my septic into the existing sewer line. I wish the previous house owner tied in when he had the chance to do it for One Hundred dollars. What I take issue with is the permit fee. Being forced to spend One Thousand Dollars for nothing is not fair. How much does it cost to generate the paper work? Twenty-five, fifty dollars? I'll gladly pay that. The town should dispense with the exorbitant fee when tax-paying citizens are being forced to tie in. I look forward to hearing from you on how best we can resolve this issue.

As previously published at a Public Hearing on March 17, 1994, the Board of Health has adopted regulations concerning the required sewer tie-in. The following timetable concerning your property status was adopted: 4.1 All establishments that currently do not have municipal sewer available to them must connect to the sewer as soon as it becomes available, with a maximum time limit of six months. The purpose of these regulations is to safeguard North Andover's drinking water, surface waters, groundwater and surrounding environment. Sanitary sewer is believed to be the most effective form of wastewater treatment. A copy of the entire regulation can be obtained at our office. Your property is in violation of this Board of Health regulation. Please contact the Health Department regarding this matter immediately. If we do not hear from you by May 10, 2000 your name will be placed on the regularly scheduled Board of Health meeting agenda and placed on public notice. The meeting will be held on May 25, 2000 for discussion of legal action including court hearings.
