Re: Septic System Failure at
61 Chapel St.,Northampton
This letter will confirm that in April 1994 a representative of the Northampton Department of Public
Works determined that your septic system was leaking into the storm drain in front of your property
at 61 Chapel Street,Northampton. An inspection by the Northampton Board of Health
confirmed that your septic system had failed,
Attempts to connect your dwelling to the city sewer through easements across adjacent properties
were not successful, (Note: there is no sewer in Chapel Street).
You were subsequently ordered by the Board of Health to replace your faulty septic system.
On November 8, 1994 the Board of Health issued a permit, (#25-94), to repair your septic system
based on a septic system repair plan prepared by Almer Huntley&Associates, Inc. The new septic
system was installed and certified complete by the Board of Health on December 12, 1994.
Please contact the Board of Health office if you require additional information. Thank you.
Peter J. McErlain, Agent
