Councilman Helgesson noted that it is the Water Quality Control Board's policy to <br />outlaw septic tanks but they recognize ewers linea are not presently available <br />and the current difficulty of providing ewers. However, there is the possibility <br />that they might require ewers at some future date. In response to a suggestion <br />that the Palo Alto contract be cancelled, he reminded them that all the sewage <br />eventually ends up in Palo Alto at the Tri -City Treatment Plant. Also, as to <br />whether this is the maximum payment residents may expect, he noted that the South <br />Bay Dischargers are already investigating pumping all outflow so that it enters the <br />bay North of the Dumbarton Bridge which would result in a sizeable additional <br />expense. In summary, he felt that in view of the Los Altos committment had been <br />satisfied by S. A. D. A. that the current financial committment to Palo Alto was <br />particularly oriented to the Palo Alto Basin. <br />Councilman Corbett reviewed the Town Sewer Policy in response to those wishing <br />the policy changed. He noted the sewer districts formed under the current policy <br />and several recent large subdivisions that would be sewered. He noted the numerous <br />unsuccessful attempts that he and other councilmen had attempted to get Palo Alto <br />to revise the contract were to no avail. <br />Councilman Davey requested that reversal of the Town sewer policy be agended for <br />discussion April 6 to assure that if residents in the Pato Alto Basin are compelled <br />to buy capacity they will have Some indication as to when they might expect ewers. <br />Mayor Benson thanked the approximately 120 interested citizens for coming to this <br />meeting and expressing their Sentiments. He noted several worthwhile ideas were <br />presented and merited additional thought by the Council before agendaing. <br />ADJOURNMENT: <br />There being no further business, Mayor Benson adjourned the meeting at 11:30 P.M. to <br />NEXT REGULAR MEETING: Monday, April 6, 1971 at 7:45 P.M. at Town Hall. <br />TJK/jp <br />5-3-71 <br />4V <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />TED J.
