Mr.- Kennedy, as a private citizen, expressed concern'that the line size 49 is to be limited to that which would serve only the school site. He felt this -- 50 was very shortsighted and encouraged the Boards to consider extending water and 51 sewer services to the properties along the line and control the number of tap-ors 52 rather than not allowing tap-ons at all. He felt the County must, to a certain • 53 extent, get into the business of water and sewer services. - • 54 �_ - •
