lle�r iir. Stelzner:
In 1974, your property at 2216 Vinland wae sanexed to the C2ty of Oshkosh. A
check of city records show that this property he�s not beeA eonaected to the
public s�ter. _
State of Wisconsin and Municipal Lsw requires habitable buildin�s to connect to
public sewer when it is available. At the present ti�e, lawa do not require
connectin$ to public water supply when an adequate pressurized potable well
supply is serving the building.
The City is requiring all properties that came �nto the City in the 1974 Island
Annexatioa and s�ith public sewer available to conneet to the public �ewer
before September 1, 1980. Your propertq at 22I6 Vinland is included in this
requirement. The public utilitie� w+ere installed under City Gontract ia 1973
and 72-13 �nd assessc�c�t of $�g7.U0 has been charged against your property for
utility improve�ente. This assesameut will have to be paid to the City Clezk
before connecting ta puhlic utilities. Call Mr. "Sarks, City Clerk for further
information on gayment of aasessments.
I recommend that you also install a water �ervice pip� at this time. The water
servlce pipe c�rould not be required to be used. Lf at a future ti�ne you wanted
to conn�ct to public wat�r, anothex trench itill not have to be du$. The trenching
i� a costlq part of the installation. Sewer s�rvice and w�ater aervice may be
inetalled in the same tr�nch if coaditioas are right. If you choose not ta
connect to public water supply, a water raeter is required on well supply. A
pollution chgrge would be mad� for use of Lhe public owaed tr�atment works.
Faucets furnishing water for uee outside of the buildiag may be taken off �head
of the well supply meters and then pollution char�es wouldn*t be charged for
water ug�d for lawns, gardeas and so nn.

gases that are normally not in a septic systesn. These gases caa be very toxic
aad expiosive, Any part af your existing plu�bin� system that isn't in code
coupliance and by r�ason of aon-cQmpliance tends to ereate a health hazard �rould
have to be repaired, renovated, replaced or removed before connecting to
the public sewer.
