APRIL 27, 1976 41 <br /> Kuusisto: For awhile, we thought we could, but on the southern part, <br /> we could not get the necessary cooperation to obtain the <br /> land necessary to move the road. The road is only about 30' <br /> wide there now. It might be possible to obtain land across <br /> the road so that three homes could pump into one system. <br /> Resident: Leaving the outlets the way they are today, how much higher <br /> could the lak-: go? <br /> Kuusisto: It could go considerably higher. <br /> Lease: We don't have control of the lake level but even by lowering <br /> the lake we aren't going to solve these other problems. <br /> Resident: On the west side where the new homes are, are there any systems <br /> that are ±:adequate? <br /> Kuusisto: Most of the drainfields seem to be adequate, but we weren't <br /> able to get accurate information, since the information was <br /> obtained from the home owner rather than from the homebuilder <br /> or sewer installer. <br /> Lease: Most of the water samples tak3n from the west side of the <br /> lake were good. People on the north have adequate property <br /> to take care of any problems they may have. Lease said some <br /> people have good systems but the nearness of the lake is the <br /> problem, causing leeching into the lake. I want to see the <br /> problem solved, as inexpensively as possible, but yet doing <br /> the job. <br /> Kuusisto: If it were necessary to install a collective sewer system <br /> with pumping station for the approximately fourteen families <br /> on the east side of the lake, it could easily run frcm $6,000.00 <br /> to $8,000.00 and maybe even $10,000.00 per home, whereby <br /> a private system could be installed for around 3,500.00 <br /> per home unless more land has to be acquired, which would <br /> increase the cost. <br /> Tom Creager: What is an adequate system for drainage? <br /> 12203 Ingersoll <br /> Kuusisto: Usually 150 square feet of drainfield per bedroom is required <br /> and 750 to 1 ,000 gallon sealed tank is common for normal <br /> households. Soil conditions are a factor and footage is <br /> based on perculation. <br /> Tom Roan: I've heard of a series of dry wells being used. <br /> 12929 Homestead <br /> Kuusistd: Our code calls for a sealed septic tank and then leeching <br /> pits or dry wells ,;an be used but drainfields should be <br /> considered first. Leeching pits require better soil conditions <br /> than drain fields. If you have a high water table, the pits <br /> can fill up. <br /> Jim Smith: I would like to ask the people on Sunset Leif they think the <br /> lake is worth that expense. Why not let DNR just drain the <br /> lake. <br /> Lease: What values do you place on the lake. Do you want to save it? <br /> Storm: Why not try to reduce the lake two feet? I used to walk <br /> across the lake. <br /> Kuusisto: What do you think should be done? <br /> Storm: If you take two feet off the lake, you still have a pretty <br /> lake. <br /> Creager: Where does the two feet go? <br /> Kuusisto: Over to Round Lake. <br /> Creager: Right. Pass it down to your neighbor. <br /> Lady: We still have to correct the problems, right? <br /> Kuusisto: Yes, the problems still have to be corrected. <br /> Resident: If there are three or four people who can't solve their <br /> problems, then what? <br />
