<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. VANDEMOER: <br /> <br />MR. SMADES: <br /> <br />MR. VANDEMOER: <br /> <br />MR. SMADES: <br /> <br />prospects of getting it through this legisla- <br />ture, this particular session of the legislature <br />this year. I think what we ought to have, if <br />the Board feels that a resolution is in order, <br />that the staff and the Water Board ought to <br />cooperate fully with this area and other similar <br />areas in trying to get this problem in focus to <br />the legislature. That's about all I can see we <br />can do at this meeting. <br /> <br />Herb, did I hear that motion?" <br /> <br />UYes. <br /> <br />I would like to ask Roger Smades one <br />question. When Larry speaks of this sanita- <br />tion district and the lines and the people <br />that are in and out, doesn't the Water Pollution <br />control Board have the power to put out cease <br />and desist orders if the septic tanks are not <br />working properly?" <br /> <br />"Yes. Once the district is formed. First, <br />on a failed septic tank system the Water pollu- <br />tion control Commission can issue a cease and <br />desist if it isn't brought back into compliance. <br />But if a district goes in and the lines are <br />constructed then the water sanitation district <br />itself has in its laws that if you are within <br />400 feet of the district line they can make <br />you hook into that line. In that way the <br />district can eventually keep growing." <br /> <br />"But you can't use this to help form the <br />district? In other words, I am working from <br />the other side. I am working from the side <br />that you better join the district because you <br />can't go up and use your house in Grand Lake <br />unless you have a septic tank so it works." <br /> <br />"Yes. Also, on septic tanks. If there is <br />a district in the area and it's economical to <br />connect to this district, the Water Pollution <br />Control Commission has that authority." <br />
