July 6, 2000:  prior to the 7:30pm meeting, at 6:30pm, the Committee "walked" sections of Bisceglie Park where groundwater discharge might be held for 21 days prior to release to the West Branch of the Saugatuck. 



Weston Town Hall is located within the "superblock" of school campus, library, firehouse, Norfield Church, Department of Public Works and the first Historic District in town.



At the third meeting of the Select Committee...the Town Engineer reported that the elementary school is located on the best land on campus for natural septic treatment.  Could systems be built under the locations above--or are they already being used?  Could existing systems be modified to meet the needs for Hurlbutt far into the future?  Left to right:  Hurlbutt Library, "Kinderland" portables, Board of Education Headquarters, Weston High School, Weston Middle School, W.M.S. portables, more W.M.S. portables...



On Old Hyde Road, in the midst of a lovely residential neighborhood, is the Department of Public Works Garage - a most attractive building, set back from the road.  The Jarvis Military Academy site, Town Hall and other public places are not under orders to upgrade as are the schools.  A search for Town-owned land with good septic suitability is on.  The last picture in this series, a current photograph of the Weston Town Hall, is one view where the cellular tower for communications for emergency service as well as private companies is not visible.
