Sheffield Road Community Well
Atty. Michael Rosen, representing Mr. Mesetti, supplied the Board with a handout of the timeline detailing the project and verbally gave a background of the acquired property. Discussion ensued regarding the initial four homes that were serviced by private wells and the dates they obtained certificates of occupancy. It was stated at the time of building and at the time of testing the well yields were sufficient.
Inquiry was made as to which homes were serviced by the temporary system. Mr. Mesetti indicated the lot #s 59, 58, 57 and a lot on Lancelot Rd. Owner of lot 58 stated he never received water lines and his well dried up the following March after moving in, he had water hookup but no water. Owners of lots 58 & 59 were not notified in writing that an Association existed.
Discussion ensued regarding ownership interest in homeowners association, status of Association Declaration, easement rights, and agreement of company (i.e. Pennichuck) to manage water system, cost to get water to property lines, and then water from property lines into house.
The Board and Staff resolved that residents will be notified, staff will talk with builders, and look into how to deal with people not in the subdivision but to bring them into the system.
