Re: Fullersburg Area Water Main l rovements
Gentlemen:
Because of conflicting meetings, I shall not be able to
attend the meeting of the Commijttge of the c_le of the
Board to be held on September 8. I t e as occasion,
to express my views as a resident property owner in the
Fullersburg area.
As you know, Connie and I own 2-1/4 acres in Bre`ikenridge
Farm. All properties in Breakenridge Farm and adjacent
to it are served by their own wells and septic systems.
I am not aware of any pressing need for municipal water
service in our area of Fullersburg. Moreover, I suspect
that the cost of extending water mains and laterals into
our area would be prohibitive, particularly in view of
the large amount of land that is not presently developed.
I question whether the quality of Village water is
better than the quality of water presently being ptunped
from existing local wells.
In summary, Connie and I are generally opposed to the
extension of water mains and the assessment, one way or
the other, of a portion of tae cost of such extension.
In our area, sewage disposa'L is a much more pressing
problem. Our property has been annexed into the Hinsdale
Sanitary District, but we are not yet served. Other nearby
properties are not within the district. Because of the
marginal permeability of the soil in our area, I believe
that most residents have septic field problems although
perhaps not all of them admit the fact. Connie and I
would urge the Village'to use its good offices to persuade
the Hinsdale Sanitary District to extend sewerage into the
area.
