At last council meeting, Council tabled the Tyhee Estates Preliminary Plat until the City could contact residents in the lyhee area, ~nviting them to this council meeting to discuss the problems with septic tanks in the area. Mayor Cotant stated he felt it is time for the City of Chubbuck require a sewer system be installed in the lyhee area. PRELIMZNARY PLAT - TYHEE ESTATES - (cont.) 125 Mayor Cotant said there are many residents in the area that have had to install two or three septic systems, at quite an expense, Glenn McMlnn, 13486 N. Yellowstone Ave stated he has put two septic systems in, the ground is clay in the area, and does not percolate. J.O. Cotant, 13848 N. Manning Lane stated h~s concern is, the systems originally put in the area were supposed to last, some last 3 years, some last 5 years depending on the s~ze of the family. Mr. Cotant said, even w~th the oversized tank he installed, he has to be very careful about how much water he runs into it. Mr. Cotant said he has talked to most of the residents in the area, they are having the same problem. Jim Harper, 13968 N. Manning Lane said he installed a 1200 gallon tank, that lasted 5 or 6 years. Mr. Harper stated he has had to flush his basement out 5 or 6 times in the 12 years he has lived there. Mr. Harper said his kids have to share a bath, so the water will not backup. Tim Shurtliff, Shurtliff Engineering stated, with the new systems they have now, these problems should be taken care of. Mr. Shurtliff said the cost of a sewer system to the area w~]] be in the neighborhood of $500,000.00, at probably $11,000.00 to $12,000.00 per household. Mr. Cotant said he has lived there for fifteen years, he has helped bale residents out several times, ~t is a mess. Mr. Cotant said the systems that were put there in the first place were properly designed to accommodate the poor soil situation, that did not work. Mr. Cotant suggested a lagoon system should have be installed in the first place, ~f the County did what they should have. Steve Reeve, 13725 N. Moonglow Lane said he did not know what the basis was for the Health Department's decision saying the soil was okay, but, in a short time the new homes will have the same problems the residents in the area are having. Mr. McM~nn said the Health Department says the soil percolates, but, it just does not work. Mr. McMinn says he has went through two oversized systems, and is on his third. Councilman England stated, if the City continues to do things that might pollute the aquifer, we wi]] all pay for it. This bas been a concern of this councl] for some time. PWD Smart said in 1991 the City's contractor completed a facilities planning study for our sewer system. Part of the PRELIMINARY PLAT - TYHEE ESTATES - (cont.) 127 study included an analysis of how that north area could be served with sewer. One of the comments made in the report was dwelling units with a density of 1 unit per acre could not be served by a central sewage facility economically. PWD Smart said, include all Tyhee and WhiteWater Area, (S & N Estates and D & N Subdivision included.) Estimated cost is about $1,400,000.00 - with everyone included, total dwelling unit cost will be approx. $6,300.00 per unit. The only way the project can be financed, would be a bond. There would have to be a sewer district created. Tim Shurtliff said the sewer will be absorbed by the soil long before it gets down to the aquifer. Councilman England said if there is a way to install the sewer system now, in the long run it will be less expensive for everyone in the area. Councilman Landor expressed concern some individuals might be running the sewer on open ground because of the problems. Discussion about how a sewer district is created. Mayor Cotant asked Mr. Shurtliff to talk to Mr. Albers, and explain what the City has discussed tonight.
