Scanlon Way lot connection

How it happened

May 4 · MinutesFirst mention

A resident asked about connecting a property on Piscassic Road to the District's water and sewer lines. She said she has a 20-foot easement (a right to use land) across her driveway where a water line could run. The District's systems operator said the sewer would need a pump system, and the Commissioners would have to decide who maintains it. The chair said the Commissioners will look into the costs of the force main (a pressurized sewer pipe) and its upkeep. He said the property is outside the District, so she would be a customer, not a member, and could not vote on District matters. She said she would return to the September monthly meeting for an update.

No decisions were made.

The commissioners discussed connecting to the district's water system. The chair said a state law (RSA) requires connecting to the sewer system if a property is within a set distance of the sewer line. It does not require connecting to the water system, and anyone can drill a private well on their property. The last lot on Scanlon Way wants to connect to sewer. It must file an application, set an inspection time, and follow the district's rules and regulations.
