Attn: Mr. John Frawley,
City Engineer
Dear Mr. Frawley:
I presently own a house with one apartment at 841
Hammond St. and a duplex house at 847 Hammond St. in
Bangor. Because of recent septic tank problems, I am
being forced to consider tying into the City sewer line.
However the closest line to my houses is approximately
400 feet.
It is my understanding that a law exists whereby i
order to have a sewer line ran by the City of Bangor to
the vicinity of ones property, the property -owner must
pay 758 of the cost. It is my feeling that this antiquated
law should be updated i of the high tax rate we property -
owners pay to live in Bangor. Since some of our taxes are
used to maintain the city sewers and ran new sewer lines,
I feel a more fair ratio would be to charge the taxpayer
508 and the city would pay the other 508.
In view of these facts, I request that you make the
following motions at the next Bangor City Council meeting:
1. That the City of Bangor carry the existing sewer
line on Nason Avenue to Hammond Street so that
I may run a sewer line to it.
2. That the City of Bangor change the law, which states
that the taxpayer pay 758 of the cost to bring a
sewer line to the vicinity of his property requiring
the City to pay 50% and the taxpayer pay 508.
1 sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
very truly yours,
Frank J. Murray
