� � � � � each cther and ccntamination of soil so bad that it's a real hazard tc the health ef the people. The Stato Board of Health is going to try to get something passed fhrcugh the legislature next year because of this ccntamination in these villagQs and thay +an� the wells deeper and made safe by closing the arQa where the �ipQ hos gone through the cement like they dc in the echcols and alsc: they want these areas sewered as soon as they can and I was present at that meeting and heard of these cfficials of the villages next to us which I mentianed and I noticed how pathetic the pecple is. Their assessed aaluation is low and they said they can have water or sewer� not both. Ne asktd if there was not some money floating arouna for sewers and the Governar said they are short of money already and you'll have to do it by yourselves and so all I can tell you is ttie fact that we axe at this time just safe. �'we don't have contamination of our wells yet. I have an inspector in Rcseville and a few in Arden Hi11s. The wells are deeper. '.�e are safer. But ycu never kno�.,�. Deeper .rells can get ccntaminated too. (P,pplause) t�RhYCR ASHBACH: Thank you. Dceetr. I think I shouYi set one � thing straight. The Council dces net want tc push this sewer prcgram. It's up to ycu. Yr'e have a nice cross secticn ef pQople here tonight and if it appear� that the majority and a large percent wan� the sewer, I'm sure the Council will dc all in their power tc hasten the action to get sewer but I want to pofnt out that I have never heard anyone on the Council say this area has qot to have sewer and we're going to give it tc them wh�ther they want ft cr not. If you decide you want sewer know3ng all tha problems and implications, that's your problem and we're willing to act as you would like us to act. I wanted to puint that our first.
