PETER J.McERLAIN,Health Agent (413)587-1214 FAX(413)587-1264 MEMO CITY OF NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS 01060 OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH TO: Paulette Kuzdeba,Northampton Conservation Commission FROM: Peter McErlain, Health Agent z v DATE: December 4, 1997 SUBJECT: Emergency Septic System Repair 340 Westhampton Road 210 MAIN STREET NORTHAMPTON,MA 01060 This memo will confirm that a sewage disposal emergency exists on the property of David Nelson, at 340 Westhampton Rd. In order to complete repairs to a failed sewage pump system at that address, it will be necessary to divert ground water away from the pump chamber. The pump chamber will then be sealed to prevent the infiltration of the ground water,which was causing excessive pump operation and failure. This work must be completed as soon as possible to prevent sewage from backing up in to the house. Mr. Nelson has indicated that he would comply with any subsequent conditions required by the Conservation Commission. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about this matter. Thank you.
