[8:23] okay
thank you
[8:35] welcome to this Federal meeting
authority to discuss this awful
[8:41] extension of the strategory
like sewer lines
[8:47] uh
that
[8:52] have our engineer matsichi
give you an explanation of exactly what
[8:58] what
possible
[9:02] ramifications would be
[9:08] thank you Rick
um last Circle for coming out uh just a
[9:13] couple housekeeping items there is a
sign-in sheet in the back
[9:17] because for that purpose so we have a
record of who's here
[9:27] and then we also have a couple of
exhibits throughout in case anyone wants
[9:33] to take a look at things uh but just for
some background information
[9:39] um and the uh the gentleman that are up
here or four out of five members that
[9:43] are on the uh Eastland Peter Sewer
Authority uh their board members so
[9:48] they've been appointed by the Board of
Supervisors of the township here for uh
[9:55] managing basically the sanitary sewer
system throughout the township
[9:58] so that's their responsibility for the
uh overseeing the operation maintenance
[10:04] extensions as needed of the sewer system
throughout the township and ultimately
[10:09] within the township
um
[10:13] attachments ultimately responsible for
sanitary sewer service
[10:17] uh be that through all my existing well
not systems
[10:22] um I.E septic systems sand Mounds or
public sanitary sewer systems so
[10:28] Eastland beer Sewer Authority board
handles the public sanitary sewer system
[10:33] so previously uh it came to the Sewer
authorities
[10:39] board's attention that there were
residents out along strasbord Pike who
[10:48] they're existing online system their
sewage septic system had failed and in
[10:53] working with
the township sewage enforcement officer
[10:58] there was no means of providing a
replacement system
[11:02] so they approached the Sewer Authority
board to say are you looking at any
[11:07] possible sewer extensions or you know
can you assist here with possible server
[11:11] extension
to provide suitable means of sewage
[11:15] disposals so the authority uh passed the
Catholic staff and hrg with looking out
[11:23] to say you know Is it feasible to
provide you know is there a feasible
[11:28] means of providing a sensors or
extension
[11:31] um so we basically just completed a
conceptual
[11:35] uh design you know we went out took a
look at just existing information
[11:40] topography
sanitary sewer service
[11:44] uh does there's a Santa through remain
that it does extend out
[11:50] um it was installed when the Bridge
Project was uh Bridge was upgraded but
[11:55] it does come out to roughly 400 feet
along straps per Pike and terminates
[11:59] currently at this location here
so
[12:03] the
um
[12:05] you know from a sanitary sewer
perspective
[12:09] the um ideally we want to take advantage
of gravity
[12:17] um so we looked at the Topography of the
area you know is there a uh the ability
[12:23] to extend grab the sewer up that hill
you know that does appear to be that you
[12:28] know we can't extend gravity sewer up to
the high point of the Hill along the
[12:32] Strasbourg Pike
and then
[12:35] um beyond the height
we can't get the water uphill unless we
[12:40] Pump It so there are there is a means of
individual pumps on properties with
[12:47] uh that would lift that water and pump
it up to the high point of the gravity
[12:51] sewer system
on the far side of the Hill as you head
[12:54] south on strasbour Pike along a stream
Crossing
[12:57] so conceptually you know we worked with
the Sewer Authority to come up with a
[13:03] plan to say yes you know there is a
feasible means
[13:07] of providing Sewer Service along
strasbour Pike through a main extension
[13:12] and the Sewer Authority board then said
okay well
[13:16] before we do anything we want to contact
the residents invite them here to a
[13:19] meeting
to see if anyone else is having issues
[13:24] along the section of the Strat along
this area of Strasburg Pike
[13:29] you know get some feedback because it is
something they're evaluating you know
[13:34] there is costs associated with the
extension of the sanitary sewer system
[13:40] here for this and it's not just
Authority costs and for seven Mains but
[13:45] then there's also a cost here for the
residents
[13:48] um for installation of piping on your
property hooked up
[13:52] in addition to that you know quarterly
sewer fees uh and tapping fees to tie
[13:58] into the system
so that's initial high level estimate of
[14:03] the work that's been done thus far
just to see if it is feasible because
[14:09] again
the super Authority is tasked with
[14:13] looking at the buying a sanitary sewer
system or providing stand through Sewer
[14:18] Service
to basically protect you know make sure
[14:23] you know residents have a means of
connection and protecting the
[14:27] environment what's a Mill Creek that's
there and we don't want sewage going
[14:31] into the street from that aspect
[14:37] uh Hutch if you want to add anything
else here
[14:41] um Township manager I had my thanks for
coming this evening as I said was said
[14:49] in the letter that went out from the
authority and everybody else
[14:54] so any anything that would contaminate
the groundwater that would affect Wells
[15:00] could potentially have a health impact
on anybody out there so that's another
[15:03] reason to consider having a sanitary
sewer system that serves the properties
[15:08] out there
um
[15:12] as Matt said you know they've done a
preliminary design I think you estimated
[15:16] a total cost for installation low cost
uh for installation
[15:21] um
is you know 1.5 or 1.7 million dollars
[15:30] of the system with what we're looking at
and
[15:37] um
in Plant Peter Township does have a
[15:42] mandatory sewer connection ordinance uh
generally what that ordinance says is if
[15:48] sanitary sewer service becomes available
in front of your property
[15:52] and your structure primary structure is
within 150 feet of that
[15:59] you're required to connect to that
system within a certain time period
[16:04] um
if your structure primary structure is
[16:08] outside of that distance
then it's an optional connection to the
[16:12] system
if this project was to happen
[16:17] um and Sewer Service was Superman wasn't
intended to be extended along Strasbourg
[16:23] Pike or within that 150 foot area
the County ordinance would require a
[16:29] connection to that Syria to that soon
yeah I think the other piece of
[16:34] information that I want you to be aware
of would be the roughly climbing of you
[16:40] know what this project would look like
in terms of time if it does go forward
[16:44] so there's still a lot of design work
that would have to happen the
[16:48] engineering work to prepare plans to
build the system Strasburg Pike is a
[16:53] state highway so it turned out to be
permanence of change from PennDOT
[16:58] to operate in there right away and build
a system
[17:03] so that process of design and permitting
for project could proceed is going to
[17:11] take
what would you guess matter 18 months
[17:14] here probably 12 to 18 months
[17:19] again at that period of time passed
before we hear the point where then the
[17:24] authorities would be bidding a project
to get a contractor out there to do the
[17:28] work on this is the time element
involved in that as well
[17:32] um and then
I'm sure you probably haven't even
[17:37] estimated that length of time to
construct at this point uh
[17:42] it's probably anywhere from six months
to a year yeah
[17:46] so we could be you know two and a half
years
[17:51] before it could be at a point where we'd
be asking those who are required to
[17:56] connect to connect
so that's that's a rough estimate of
[18:02] that time frame at this point yeah the
authority recognizes
[18:07] um you know
there's opportunity for funding from
[18:11] their standpoint for this project so
um at they're Vindicated that they're
[18:18] going after grant funding to help cover
their portion of the cost associated
[18:23] with this
through
[18:26] County Market funds I'll be submitting
an application for that for that process
[18:31] as well to see
if there are any funds available that
[18:35] can help reduce the cost
um the costs themselves
[18:40] uh the in the past on sewer extension
projects in the township there's been a
[18:46] assessment charged for each connection
to the systems that has in the
[18:51] tournament as far as what would be done
here
[18:54] the first Overland stages here
[19:00] generally how the sewer extension
project would work is
[19:05] there's a sanitary sewer main being
either a gravity line with manholes or
[19:11] at the pressure line that would be
installed in Strasburg Pike
[19:16] and then there's like be a smaller pipe
that comes off of that
[19:20] that would extend from that main line
back to at least the right-of-way line
[19:25] on either side of straps with the price
of glutes in the wounds that are out
[19:29] and that boss to install those items
would be part of the authorities project
[19:34] of what they've installed
and then from that point there back to
[19:40] the house
that would be a clause that would be the
[19:43] responsibility of the homeowners
and working with plumbers there for
[19:47] installation of that
the
[19:52] the there are
different funding options different
[19:58] funding programs available for invest
that can help uh
[20:02] with the cost of the individual
homeowners uh their lateral extension
[20:08] from that point back to the home
yeah if this project was four we can
[20:13] certainly get information out to see
what those programs are and get that to
[20:16] the residents there for that process
[Music]
[20:19] um
for those homes that are on the pressure
[20:22] line and require a grinder pump
um what a grinder pump Basin is is a
[20:29] it's a tank that gets this fall in the
ground outside of the home
[20:33] the tank is uh
three foot of diameter and 8 feet deep I
[20:40] believe that's your tank system there so
what you would see from the surface is
[20:44] basically a three foot diameter
plastic lid
[20:48] there that would be where the tanks
that's underground knit within that it
[20:53] has a pump
and that pump is designed to reduce any
[20:57] of the solids
[21:01] itself and pumping it into the
Uber system for that purpose
[21:09] so the township they maintained
the residential grinder pumps so if
[21:16] there was a problem with that point that
he was down you guys maintained grinder
[21:20] pumps up to I think three connections
for residential or four four so you have
[21:26] a multi
residential units foreign
[21:42] uh for those residents with the pump
though there is a cost of electricity to
[21:48] power that pump as well
that would need to be tied into your
[21:52] power system for yourself
[22:01] I guess yeah
the authorities looking for feedback and
[22:05] questions that we can try to answer at
this point
[22:10] but the one one point of feedback that I
guess I think would be helpful is
[22:16] looking at this going forward would be
to know if anybody does have
[22:21] sure
service needs in a basement because the
[22:29] level of service that would go out in
the roads you know might not be low
[22:33] enough to assure a basement facility
so you know just by showing my hands if
[22:40] you don't mind because anybody have
things in the basement that require a
[22:43] sanitary
[22:47] okay yes
okay so most
[22:52] so and what's shown here exhibits I see
you've taken some
[22:57] we've just done an approximation at this
time if the project moves forward
[23:02] you know we would go through a design
element there we'll read you know like
[23:06] to come out to the properties that
actually collect the elevations of that
[23:09] information so we can cultural design
system
[23:11] capture those elements
to make sure that you know we can
[23:16] provide that service to you as this
right now the system is designed so that
[23:23] it pumps it from downstairs at that
sewer up into the other plank which goes
[23:28] out to the center system and then it
goes through two different two other
[23:32] tanks before it gets to another pump
that just pumps the watering
[23:41] that's leaving your house the elevation
of that bite
[23:46] and make sure that we you know can pick
that pipe up and run it out to the main
[23:50] line yeah because you would have to
they're in the package back
[23:55] and around the side to the front which
is close to one side so that's that's
[24:00] the type of information we want to
collect or know and say okay it makes
[24:03] sense to run that line on one side of
your house or the other and what are
[24:08] some money items to avoid here's the
other thing is the system is fairly new
[24:13] so that symbolic expense but that whole
system in there and now
[24:20] it were forced to connect to this
and that's additional expenses
[24:26] and a lot of us are just Social Security
and stuff and that's basically the only
[24:33] income that kind of coming into
understanding
[24:38] um I think that's where as I mentioned
there are some other programs I think
[24:43] and best as and best of the state
agencies it may have some programs that
[24:48] are available to help individual
homeowners
[24:53] providing research criteria for those
situations
[24:58] of the septic system
um it's important to us a few months ago
[25:04] because you've had meetings
we'll be finding out now and it's
[25:10] incredibly frustrating because we've
owned our house for 13 years never had a
[25:14] problem and now wherever you put this
wherever when they call it the extension
[25:19] whatever we might be forced to connect
we've never had an issue with our septic
[25:24] so I think it's unfairs you're punishing
us for someone else's failure give us
[25:29] the choice if you're going to put this
by our house
[25:32] like you said fixed income Day Care
mortgage everything like that some of
[25:37] these residents can't afford it even if
you opt for help you might make too much
[25:41] money you know what I mean so give us
the choice we live here take the money
[25:46] put it somewhere where it's needed clean
up Walmart clean up the creek behind our
[25:50] house
why do something that doesn't need done
[25:54] for everybody
and if there's funds available but
[25:58] needed for sewer
why wasn't the homeowner that needed the
[26:03] facilities
told about the funds
[26:06] they said we want to bring to this
you know sorry
[26:12] digging times of speed so two jobs
[26:17] because my wife had a sense of
approximity
[26:21] bills we have two thousand dollars
reports 1869 Healthcare is up it's my
[26:30] kids are talking about
allergies and reactive ingredients
[26:36] so we just upgraded the PC system and
she doesn't spend the rest of our
[26:41] savings which was eleven thousand
dollars
[26:44] so we could have an airstrike
[26:49] because it said which means I have no
replaceable
[27:01] process
is as we were doing
[27:05] we found the original Builders contact
information the contact is
[27:10] the installation for and other things
previous owner maintained this septic
[27:15] system
every year you put in the enzymes he had
[27:21] such a navigator
[27:24] everything
[27:29] I understand that you know sometimes
people are gonna say you know believe me
[27:34] I got 400 checking account
that's what I typically carry every
[27:40] month
so my paycheck is out the door right
[27:44] you know ever since I'm not trying to be
political or anything like that but ever
[27:48] since fighting Administration by the
administration chat up kill costs
[27:54] struggling to make ends meet too
and
[27:59] again if this homeowner needed help why
wasn't they were made aware of funds
[28:04] you know and I'm not trying to assist
anybody I'm not trying to be
[28:08] disrespectful okay
if you want sewer hey that's up on you
[28:15] I don't want to be a part of a system
that contaminates the waterways because
[28:19] it's a combined service operations which
in heavy explosion
[28:25] well not free slam Peter ours is
completely separated it shows like
[28:31] our sanitary is just in a sanitary
system the city of Lancaster does have a
[28:35] combined system we do not okay so what
happens
[28:39] in the city system
[28:43] um if we haven't
we go out and treat it
[28:50] [Music]
and we have responsibilities for that
[28:54] that's supposed to be a very rare event
okay so that makes it
[29:00] so that makes sense
who's responsible
[29:04] well it depends on the circumstances
involved so let's say about a lot of
[29:09] information
who's responsible for that because I've
[29:12] seen multiple stories
[29:17] mobile
[29:20] it's about four hours
imagine
[29:25] this is a minor leadership you know
too long
[29:32] did that having two young kids sleeping
two hours and working double overtime
[29:36] and a second job
[29:39] so once again
[29:43] stand in my account because you know
[29:48] and if it fails whatsoever can't get a
compared immediately
[29:52] regardless of the cost
because I respect my neighbors I wonder
[29:57] what damn thing is you know I guess I
wanted
[30:01] people
[30:06] okay
you're opposed to having to be forced to
[30:11] connect to senatorship right
you can land on that map that's to be
[30:16] determined to know if we're 150 feet
from that
[30:22] it's generally for this system it would
be from the right-of-way line so
[30:27] if this map here doesn't show the right
way line we haven't got to that point of
[30:30] the design effort because it's just a
study but it's generally if you take a
[30:33] look where the telephone pole is that's
a pretty powerful that's pretty close to
[30:38] prosecution
[30:44] probably 100 year old trees on the
property I don't think you want to get
[30:47] into my house I'm thinking about my
driveway
[30:51] you know it's not going through the the
playroom that I've just installed in the
[30:55] basement
[31:00] I mean we've made no decisions yet
that's why we
[31:05] um guarantee we have it you know that's
why we call the meeting we'll input like
[31:10] your folks and everybody else in here
um we came to us months ago that the one
[31:18] they want property up uh and I'd be
willing
[31:22] to get some sort of donation if it's
somewhere that needs the septic service
[31:25] a little bit and I'll let baby Charlie
not talk to this but when I picked up at
[31:29] the meeting their system's failing and
there's no other option for a system on
[31:34] their property just because of it not
hurricane correctly
[31:38] from what we were told they their only
solution at this point is they hold and
[31:42] take but we made notices at all which we
want input from here and we're going to
[31:48] take it from here to see what so if you
run the system obviously if you do the
[31:51] letter side
regardless
[31:56] right the assessment yeah
the assessment part if if there is a
[32:01] front foot assessment then yes everybody
pays the front foot assessment Okay so
[32:07] obviously I wouldn't have some gluten
crown
[32:11] s
I have pictures here
[32:14] stuff that are retrieved
I pulled 455 infant rooms out three
[32:21] patio chairs a basketball a waste
management trash can
[32:27] thank you
okay so they can get the services they
[32:33] need to get
um
[32:37] that should be my choice that should not
be banished
[32:41] [Music]
second a couple questions
[32:45] um first off can I surmise that any home
that's marked with a grinder pump or a
[32:51] gravity system notation is within 150
feet of the right way
[33:00] generally there may be one or two that I
think this lot back here when we went
[33:06] back and evaluated that was outside it I
think but generally every other one
[33:09] that's correct and did you
gravity that was just our initial first
[33:16] uh review at it you know as we
if we were to go further in design we
[33:22] would further refine that to determine
if it can be a gravity connection or or
[33:26] not our customer well now my second
question would be
[33:31] um
based on I can see where the uh line
[33:36] stops for where you have service Carmike
we flipped in our house since uh 2000.
[33:43] and we were here when the bridge was
replaced and at that time
[33:47] you had considered
taking part of our property for eminent
[33:52] domain in order to put uh alleviate on
redoing the bridge and going around the
[33:58] back
that got tabled and you redid the bridge
[34:01] and apparently redid this uh sewer and
is it public water as well
[34:08] that came through with the sewer line up
to that first double wide do you know
[34:12] that no there's no public water there
there's no public water but the Old Mill
[34:17] shop and the people that own it and
their barn and the first double wide
[34:22] I'll have
East Lampeter sewer at this point
[34:27] is that correct if I'm seeing this group
yes okay no
[34:48] were on a single septic system
and I see now one of them is one of them
[34:54] is it's my question to everyone that was
making the decisions at that point
[35:00] what predicated your decision to stop
the sewer
[35:04] going through at that juncture and I
consider us the land of the time for God
[35:11] because not only did we not have public
water we don't have public sewer we
[35:16] maintain our own systems we don't have
natural gas but yet folks on either side
[35:21] of us and we need help and the Old Mill
shop excuse me the old middle states
[35:28] there are markets and so at this point I
at one time checked to see if we could
[35:33] get Natural Gas
and they told us we they had no
[35:37] intention of coming through with natural
gas if I wanted it wouldn't be 115 000
[35:43] for us to have a door so I I guess my
confusion lies in who's making these
[35:49] decisions
how they decide who is and who isn't
[35:54] and
today's Point why are we talking about
[35:59] doing this when up until now it's been
okay that we haven't had any of that
[36:04] everything we do
I'm with him about supporting whoever's
[36:09] having promised I'm absolutely victim
but I would just ask for the judgment to
[36:15] be all compensated
and at the time they put the bridge fix
[36:20] the bridge and put the sewer through to
that point we weren't taught to adapted
[36:24] at all
so I would ask why sure the limit of
[36:30] PennDOT's construction project related
to the bridge stopped the deathly
[36:37] instruction project to build that far
okay
[36:42] and then at that point you didn't even
consider the idea that you might at some
[36:46] point have to
include the rest of the way of the time
[36:51] forgot
that's why it was extended to that point
[36:55] for consideration of the future okay
I have another question
[37:01] if if you're standing there if you reach
right up to that one corner there you
[37:07] see the house that has like the little
extra Square driveway off of it right
[37:12] there yes okay in front of that is my
house
[37:15] not that one yeah it's my own man okay
where that little square driveway is
[37:21] right
anyway
[37:33] yeah the one over there
now
[37:37] the property that lies beyond that
little square cutout for a driveway
[37:43] back to the creek I also own them
it's uh about 1.9 Acres
[37:51] now they come through with the sewer
line to my home
[37:55] will they be able to continue back to do
it through the property in the back but
[38:01] there's way further than 150.
so for
[38:06] this property here if this project was
to come through
[38:11] under Township regulations they would
not be required to connect
[38:15] um talking with the authority board
earlier they said they may still drop a
[38:22] line a lateral connection to the right
way that if they so choose to connect
[38:28] now or they have a problem in the future
it's there for them to connect to
[38:33] okay so in other words if they had to do
my house
[38:38] uh and we'd come back along that
driveway uh this slide here is just the
[38:44] concept line depending upon where your
system is how it comes out
[38:53] the end
through like a Car Corner
[38:57] Alternatives that's back into there
and it comes out to the journey so we
[39:02] can take a look at each property and
then make a determine try to determine
[39:06] the best reality from where your system
where your fight leaves your house to
[39:10] get out towards the road
this this is more just a
[39:15] it's again it's a concept you know this
line can be located anywhere along your
[39:20] property that makes the best stand for
connection one of the exactly failed
[39:27] not one of these houses so wherever
failed is either more that way so why
[39:33] have us right here who didn't fail
it's not this stretch I can tell you
[39:38] that
[39:41] that's where the sewer is that's where
the connection point is in the sewer
[39:44] system you can't you have to have the
flow going
[39:49] but we don't know everyone's failed we
know of at least one and there may be
[39:54] others
um but we don't know
[39:58] so in order to connect into the existing
system from the flow to get there you
[40:02] have to start it
so you're not going to join with Wesley
[40:06] and Peter at the top of the hill at the
stoplight they have public water or
[40:11] public sewer up there don't they
not until you get substantially
[40:15] underground strasbourne to Pike not at
the community therapy Whitney hill
[40:21] development have a public show
that goes off of Windy Hill Road right
[40:27] there that big development that you call
that house
[40:30] yes yes
there's probably public Sewer back there
[40:35] in that development but that's a
different system that wouldn't be part
[40:39] of this
[40:45] man I just have a question
[40:51] um
[40:56] adopted many years ago as the uh
I'm gonna go by
[41:04] e
like I think they need to be looking at
[41:08] every piece of us when you can kind of
houses that are 150p the road
[41:14] there's a rich people in general right
they're the ones that have the money and
[41:18] they're the ones closer to the Mill
Creek
[41:20] if their house is 150 people
so I think that should be called that
[41:26] too why the 150 feet you need to think
about that
[41:29] Michigan
[41:42] yeah I'm sure yes
[41:48] [Music]
[41:55] it sounds like there's a property that's
failing oops
[42:00] there's
at least one that we know of
[42:12] today
so he or she's able to wait two or three
[42:15] years for the connections they so their
current method of disposal is they have
[42:21] a that
anything that goes out of their fight
[42:24] out of their house goes into that tank
and there's a level sensor in there that
[42:28] when it fills up
and they get an alarm and they have a
[42:32] company that comes in and pumps it out
or is the holding tank failing the
[42:37] holding tank is the temporary solution
so the drain Fields yeah because
[42:47] um
[42:49] there's no regulations for that require
requirements for a drain field they have
[42:54] to have certain
um soil conditions
[42:58] slope issues so the they went out to I
guess investigate and they said there's
[43:04] no room here to put a replacement sewer
system in especially compare the
[43:08] solution
is a holding tank system
[43:14] long tanks are safe but they're not a
permanent long-term solution so depth
[43:23] anything else the permanent solution can
be put in so they're in essence a
[43:28] watertight vessel so the water is
consistent house is stored in there
[43:31] until a company comes in and pumps that
tank
[43:41] um
[43:47] because this one seems extremely I mean
we put in new houses that have subject
[43:52] systems
everywhere along the Mill Creek
[43:56] and maybe they need to be monitored more
carefully maybe that's something that
[44:00] um the township should look at maybe
every three years when we're pumping out
[44:04] our tanks we have to give a report that
our tank is safe or you know what I mean
[44:08] like are there other options and how we
looked into them
[44:12] what was reported to us is that they
look at other options and there are none
[44:17] other than
requesting a connection to public sewer
[44:20] is what's been reported
[44:26] is that was
items that were evaluated with the
[44:30] township sewage enforcement officer
um
[44:33] so
I think they would have investigated to
[44:36] see if there's other Solutions there
besides the holding tank because the
[44:41] holding tank can become very expensive
to pump out you know if you're doing
[44:44] that
every couple weeks
[44:48] are
[44:53] a septic system
and it's brain fields how far did that
[44:59] have to be
from
[45:03] I don't have that answer here with me
[45:08] there was a 200 foot
probation right
[45:13] where there couldn't be anything built
along the Stream
[45:17] yeah
[45:24] okay
and um
[45:28] it seems to me that right over their
body
[45:37] uh that that's right on the crease but
there are some houses over there
[45:43] how they get permits for them to be
within 200 people on a new development
[45:49] and then 200 feet of that Creek
that's in Wesley Peter Township so I
[45:54] think we have a teacher for that it's a
different township yeah
[46:06] septic system
[46:11] double wide pictures they have to be 200
feet from the creek for their septic did
[46:17] not be
how did you ever get 100 feet between
[46:21] their well and their septic system
but get that guy
[46:27] I don't have an answer to that
[46:32] yeah yeah I was just gonna ask
um so I'm not really
[46:37] completely but is this from the bridge
does that go from that one building all
[46:43] the way to the light
so this this would extend
[46:48] um the connection point would be at this
location here and then we would extend
[46:53] South Long straws were quick so it's a
continuation here and then here's the
[46:59] intersection with Windy Hill
so if the person isn't in this area that
[47:04] had the failure isn't it possible that
they could connect to the one that's
[47:08] already
operational would be easier for them to
[47:12] connect there so for East Lampeter
Township our point of connection
[47:17] is at that location there
um
[47:21] the other
developed the other development that's
[47:24] down here that's not within Eastland
Peter we don't have rights to access
[47:29] Texas
[47:37] so in terms of actual getting this
service there you can't do gravity that
[47:42] way so but it is the one that failed is
along there
[47:47] different
[47:55] yeah so uh blade Everly is my wife Emily
we live with 169 Stratford Pike uh first
[48:02] of all thank you guys for having this
meeting just appreciate if you need to
[48:05] be heard and you guys have a hard job so
thank you for what you guys are doing
[48:09] um we had a really unique situation so
I'm not sure if we're like against or
[48:14] for this and my wife can definitely pop
in here on the resume but we go
[48:19] remodeling our house and put an
additional on our current septic system
[48:23] is okay or what to do and it got hurt
and they're really installing it in two
[48:29] weeks
um so you know it's 20 grand we're about
[48:32] to
dive into and it just kind of freaks us
[48:36] out like this new system in and then two
and a half years
[48:42] so if we know this is going to happen we
kind of would like to know yeah because
[48:47] like we just don't want to know what our
best solution is maybe I'm asking for a
[48:50] suggestion like you know then we are
house curved and we can put a new system
[48:55] into like in two and a half years it's
going to stick to like just let that
[48:58] tank sit in the ground and get the you
know jump into a new one so like is a
[49:02] holding 10 to our future of the next
three years
[49:05] because again let's order this in a
tough spot like we would hook up and we
[49:09] if we could but we'll do more frequent
Parts
[49:15] oh yeah
it's still good
[49:19] um
we can't use that current system so it's
[49:24] like can we have it on disaster we have
exceptional modes to use that current
[49:29] system until the sewer comes through did
we just go to septic for two and a half
[49:33] years
cost do we do a holding tank for a
[49:37] couple years so we're just in a really
unique decision so that's your
[49:41] suggestions
thank you
[49:45] so yeah you've got a circumstance there
that I will begin
[49:50] advice too to give information as to
what is the work is looking at
[49:57] it
[50:01] yeah it is as uh Mr stump said that
Authority has many decisions at this
[50:06] point to do this project so we don't
know
[50:11] three years 10 years
okay
[50:19] is everything graphene or
[50:26] no not all starting
at Woody Hill
[50:31] um so Chris Carlson here so you're going
downhill
[50:35] back
until you get to the top of the year the
[50:40] stretch
that stretch of air would be a low
[50:45] pressure line so all of those homes
along this stretch here
[50:50] and then from the hilltop down
if there was a house
[50:55] that set
lower than the new Gravity system
[51:00] then that house there exactly but
I think
[51:14] I think the next question is would the
authority
[51:17] wave but I want to be able to touch it
and you know obviously we still pay a
[51:24] share
starting cost
[51:29] I think that's a question that
the punt
[51:34] The Authority you have to follow the
couch coordinates
[51:38] I think ultimately in the township
supervisors would have to make that
[51:41] decision
[51:44] from supervisors seaweed
[51:49] public sector
[51:53] that's the third selling point of Arts
location ease of access
[51:59] much more than well said and we bought
our house
[52:07] so I think it's we can we can certainly
uh convey the message you're always
[52:12] welcome to come to a board supervisors
meeting express your concern about that
[52:17] so
um if you have to worry decides to go
[52:21] forward
we'll share that information and give
[52:25] you the opportunity to address somewhere
[52:30] why
[52:42] thank you
[52:48] definitely want to help someone because
[52:53] you know it's it's
[52:58] no
it's a dignity issue but it's it's
[53:01] concerned
[53:08] this and that
um
[53:18] about
other yeah
[53:34] you know
um
[53:50] breaking yeah that was everything
[53:56] sewers and water mains and stuff
together and we guarantee that
[54:00] everything is going to work
you know it's like you know before but
[54:06] if we lose power
something in and a half hour
[54:13] and you know then I have access to the
first time access
[54:19] sorry
[54:23] what's our cost we have to go
[54:40] [Music]
[54:49] second question I understand
is
[54:55] responsible to get rid of that
[54:59] generally if the sand Mound or his drain
field
[55:03] um there's no requirement that anything
you've done with that it's your septic
[55:07] tank that you have there that is for the
same amount
[55:10] generally that requirement is that will
get pumped out
[55:14] and then that tank would get filled in
uh
[55:21] you don't have any route estimates about
how much does it cost I mean because
[55:25] you've probably done this before to
other areas you know yes yes I mean
[55:30] we've done this elsewhere
but it it fluctuates so much I mean if
[55:35] you're a house that only has to go 15
feet per hookup or something that's 150
[55:41] there's a wide range of costs that
Etc
[55:48] and we have the full energy we can't
just get out and be they have to be
[55:54] emptied out until three tags yeah yeah
[56:01] um so
[56:04] at the meeting I'm assuming that we've
had for them okay
[56:09] um as far as timelines from making a
decision like are you guys planning to
[56:13] have more meetings as far as like
opening up to the community like like
[56:17] tonight where is this kind of like the
one you're kind of using this as to
[56:22] going it forward and formulating like a
date that you guys are hoping to vote on
[56:26] it
um just curious like what's the timeline
[56:29] with that
I don't know any of this is a timeline
[56:32] you know we want to talk about it I
think everybody's input is consideration
[56:39] where we go from there but again no
decisions been made and this is the
[56:43] input we want obviously folks strongly
against it um and uh
[56:48] but no no timeline at this point the
only thing I can add to that is as Matt
[56:54] indicated The Authority tends to make
applications for grandparents
[57:00] so there's a timeline on that got to
submit an application by the end of
[57:04] August and then when the county would
make a decision on funding that project
[57:09] or earning month
um probably too long after that but
[57:14] might be a couple of months
then they have more information on
[57:18] whether or not they've got grant funding
so but you think that would play into
[57:23] the other words
fine would this be like the last then
[57:27] for like a Township meeting or making
that decision
[57:32] yeah I think this is our our only
meeting we're going to have with
[57:36] residents I mean that's the only thing
we had planned but you can always come
[57:41] to any meeting we have if you want to
discuss anything or find out where we're
[57:44] at or anything right or one Zoom I mean
you could sorry this is my first one to
[57:49] one of these I don't know if these
things work so thank you guys the
[57:54] authority meets the second Wednesday of
everything
[58:01] great thank you
is there any talk of following this up
[58:07] with coming through with water then and
uh not by Ellison city of Lancaster owns
[58:14] and operates the water system that does
exist and it ships so
[58:19] they would be the ones
[58:23] everybody would be
um
[58:25] just wonder if it's going to cut through
the heels of this particular
[58:32] yeah um I have I have anything
remotely that would indicate that
[58:40] I know sometimes
[58:44] that's all here
somebody
[58:53] yeah yeah
[59:06] myself
you know and
[59:15] I
I'm bored
[59:18] 74 years old
yeah
[59:27] I'd be glad to get your information we
could find access to that site without
[59:31] going through the creek so I could take
your information we can plan and clean
[59:35] up
[59:40] you look for volunteers
um computer sign up there's an island
[59:45] out there we can get access to it
[59:58] thank you you're going down
[1:00:18] and with volunteers and doing cleanups
like that it gets credits uh to clean up
[1:00:24] the streams and clean up the bay so
thank you
[1:00:43] I'm sure
but it's been many years they've been
[1:00:48] the nurseries right
um
[1:01:00] brings the design to do that because all
the leaves the questions aren't grown up
[1:01:04] to be sealed so I'll get your
information
[1:01:10] thank you
Museum Stroudsburg Pike our neighbors we
[1:01:14] all take care of each other whether it's
new money you need food and something
[1:01:17] for your kids I think we all kind of are
on the same stance where we don't want
[1:01:22] this if we don't have
I mean here issues
[1:01:31] he's done to literally 20 plus thousands
into her second
[1:01:35] he's on the Facebook comments his life
is also she's older too like we don't
[1:01:41] want to do something that we can't
afford
[1:01:45] can I just ask everybody here as
everyone that's here does anyone have a
[1:01:50] problem with their current system is
everything working and can you just put
[1:01:54] your hands up to say who's this is
everybody's system working
[1:01:58] foreign
[1:02:26] [Music]
well if Minds do fail I would like to
[1:02:30] hold another weekend for all of these
people or GoFundMe that will be to
[1:02:35] prepare it
[1:02:39] before exactly
applications here I'm guessing this
[1:02:44] homeowner
um
[1:02:49] right now it's Chris session
what happened like I
[1:02:58] see those increases in everything
six months 24 hours a week
[1:03:06] which kill our savings is dramatic
[1:03:11] air conditioning
because aren't both they wouldn't fill
[1:03:16] it with pretty high
[1:03:22] like I said we're almost up in this this
family out of this this neighbor
[1:03:27] I just don't want to catch the bill
I have the reliability of the system
[1:03:33] I know people will say there's sewers
are reliable but there's just too much
[1:03:37] negative news on the sewer system the
laws
[1:03:40] and you know
I'm pretty sure
[1:03:45] the more stretchy Community we have here
I mean we've been forgotten for how many
[1:03:50] years until this happened and one failed
System since we live here for 13.
[1:03:55] analysis causing this
[1:04:01] other comments
other questions
[1:04:07] what do you guys do probably make a
decision we got another letter in the
[1:04:10] mail
the decision
[1:04:13] yes and again
you would know that once probably
[1:04:20] I would say we would talk pretty heavily
about it in our next meeting which is
[1:04:23] the second Wednesday in August which is
foreign
[1:04:49] I think it was important for you to come
in today and share your thoughts and
[1:04:54] your feelings with us so that helps us
to take that input into our
[1:04:58] decision-making process we appreciate
your time today to come out and share
[1:05:02] that with us
oh
[1:05:24] thank you
[1:05:28] yes sir
[1:05:36] hold on
