The latest code enforcement list included external property issues but nothing septic or POWTS system related. c. The newsletter has been sent to the printer for printing and mailing. d. The committee discussed the possibility of another survey of residents. Possible questions include asking whether residents are still on board with the current use of POWTS and holding tanks. Also to be considered is asking, “What do you know about what you have?” The UW Extension office can not help with the survey. The do not have funding for such projects. Baxter & Woodman could set up the survey but it will be costly. 6. New Business a. Ted described a possible project with the GLEA to study the groundwater flows around the Hillside Creek (not Harris Creek as listed in the agenda). This area (the stream, not the road culvert) was identified by the GLEA as having abnormally high bacteria counts. The GLEA would conduct more frequent studies of the creek watershed to see if a location of the contamination could be better determined. Ted plans to look at past inspections to see if there are common issues in the neighborhood. The committee agreed to look further into the feasibility of this project. Jim pointed out that there is money in the budget for inspections if the project were to be started this year. b. One bill for $222.00 for the annual post office box rent was presented.
