The Owens septic permit was presented as questioned by Bud at the last meeting. Rob Singer, SEO was notified.

Terri noted that she contacted the water authority and he has been a metered customer since June of 2012 with a consumption of 18,000 gallons. Mr. Singer feels that more investigating needs to be completed and that he will wait for notification from the supervisors. Bill and Bud were in agreement that Mr. Singer should per sue the investigation and perhaps they should visit the site with Mr. Singer. Terri will contact Mr. Singer for his further suggestion and advise the supervisors.
