Approved 2.5.25 <br />helpful. But the permitting would all be done either by the county or by the state regarding the 1093 <br />installation and its performance. And the inspections are done not by planning. They're done by 1094 <br />Environment Health through the state. 1095 <br /> 1096 <br />Charity Kirk: Can we, as a board, do anything to help with that or do anything there or it's just every once in a 1097 <br />while, we'll ask a question. Ya'll would know more. 1098 <br /> 1099 <br />Cy Stober: We've already been directed by the commissioners to come back with more information, we'll be 1100 <br />happy to share that information with you all when I have it, but I don't have it today and I'm going 1101 <br />to be talking to some of our neighboring counties on what they've done. I've got a conversation 1102 <br />with Chatham on Friday, and they've done a lot of these and learned lessons, good and bad, from 1103 <br />their installation. 1104 <br /> 1105 <br />Charity Kirk: So, we don't have anything. Nothing would be helpful for us to do besides just express interest 1106 <br />and ask for questions out of public curiosity. 1107 <br /> 1108 <br />Cy Stober: Not tonight. 1109 <br /> 1110 <br />Charity Kirk: Well, no, no, not tonight. 1111 <br /> 1112 <br />Cy Stober: Yeah, no, I don't think there's anything you can do tonight. 1113 <br /> 1114 <br />Charity Kirk: No, like, over the next year? 1115 <br /> 1116 <br />Cy Stober: Yeah, there might be, but I think if you're not getting the information, you want or you're finding 1117 <br />yourself with these questions, then we need to know that and we can work with Environmental 1118 <br />Health or we can get more information for you, but tonight, I can just promise you we're going to 1119 <br />get more information. 1120 <br /> 1121 <br />Charity Kirk: Okay. All right. Because we're talking about like the annual, future work plan, and so, can we do 1122 <br />anything to help with that and it sounds like no, we can, not yet, but maybe. 1123 <br />Adam Beeman: So, on those large, you know, community well places, is there any kind of restrictions on the well 1124 <br />that are put in place as far as providing water to the community or there's nothing there. They just 1125 <br />own the lot, or the well system and they can provide it and that's that. 1126 <br /> 1127 <br />Cy Stober: I don't know. But I'll find out. 1128 <br /> 1129 <br />Adam Beeman: I'm just curious cause I mean it seems broken. Like if we allow that and one person is in charge of 1130 <br />the water and the whole entire development all of a sudden goes dry, what's the development to 1131 <br />do? That's where I'm at and the same thing with the septic. If the guy stops taking care of it, 1132 <br />what's the neighborhood to do? That's where I, that's where all my questions go, but nobody has 1133 <br />an answer. 1134 <br /> 1135 <br />Cy Stober: The very cold answer is that's a civil matter between that HOA and that operator. 1136 <br /> 1137 <br />Adam Beeman: Right, but at the same time, we're not trying to get a whole neighborhood to be stuck without 1138 <br />housing. Well, it's one thing to bring water in and pull the water in and be able to solve that 1139 <br />problem. It's a whole other story to pump a septic that you don't have. We'd need to go through 1140 <br />waste and that was the whole system with Fiddlehead. They had a tank, comes out of the house, 1141 <br />hits the tank, the tank flows down to the main system. So, yes, you could potentially pump that 1142 <br />tank daily or however fast, but that's my concern. Is there's no one to guarantee that long-term 1143 <br />someone capable is going to be operating that sewage treatment plant cause that's essentially 1144 <br />what it is, a sewage treatment plant. You can call it a package system or whatever else, but these 1145
