 WATER & SEWER

 Dave noted that he spoke with several area towns regarding a well ordinance.  Many of the towns do not have one.  He has reworded our current Well Ordinance to include Potable and Non-Potable water. Dave will e-mail the ordinance to the attorney for final legal advice on wording.

It was noted that we need to do some work on well #3.  The village will have to either raise the pipe or convert to a submersible pump.

The board has received a copy of the ISO report and we are at a Class 5. It has been suggested that Rob maintain flo-testing documentation on all 70-80 mains within the village.

 CEMETERY

Discussion was made regarding the sale of one plot versus two plots as stated in the ordinance. Motion was made by Will to allow single-plot sales at the discretion of the Sexton. After a five minute time allowance the motion did not have a second. Motion was not approved. Cemetery plots will remain the same and sold as 2 plot or 4 plot.
