Next is Deanna Estates, a five lot subdivision located at the intersection of
Spookhill and Roberts Road. The owner, Mr. Shulkin wishes to tie into the
existing sewer line on Roberts Road. Mr. Paggi explained that tying into the
existing sewer would be very close, it is difficult to determine the nature of
sewage flows but its very close to being at capacity. There may be room for
five, four, three, its not a black and white calculation. Mr. Paggi explained,
that perhaps this could be a joint venture between the town and the
developer to accomplish this work. He has not put a price tag on the work.
