RICK PAGE - PRIVATE WATER SYSTEM:
Mr. Page approached the Board asking for permission to install a water line district
extension in Water District 17. He showed the area to the Board on a map. He asked to extend
Water District 17 to roughly 15 connections. He also asked for a permissive service area
agreement. This would be for an additional potential fifteen or so customers. DEC recommend
this procedure to Mr. Page. Said area would cover approximately 230 acres. He stated that some
of the property had deed restrictions on them that would not allow them to be divided. He stated
that many of the current landowners had no intention of subdividing their land.
The request is a private one and Mr. Page stated that the responsibility for maintenance
and long term integrity would lay with an association that would be formed. The road association
has been a successful one.
Mr. John asked why not just form a standard water system. Mr. Page felt it was too
expensive. He stated that the difference between a 3 inch and an 8 inch line was $6.00 per foot.
After a lengthy conversation, the Board had many concerns regarding this and did not
want to set a precedence.

work out a solution to this matter.
