the problem, each stressing that this was the result of water
running off private property into a public roadway, which was in
violation of code. They explained that the problem stemmed from a
1979 decision by the then homeowners in that area to reject Harvel
Utilities' solution to prevent such a problem and to proceed on
their own with another, less expensive, approach. When this
decision was acted upon, Earl Harvel, Sr. advised the then Town
Manager that the Town should not assume responsibility in this
regard, and it did not.
Concluding discussion, Mr. Colyer was consequently advised that
although the problem would necessarily have to be corrected with
private funds, the Town would offer engineering assistance and
access to the original recommended plans.
