Dear Mr. Wilia:u�:
In 1974, your property at 2362 Vinland Street was annexed to the City of Oahkosh.
A check af city records show that this property has not been cannected to the
public sewer.
State of Wisconsin and F�luunicipal Law requires habitable buildings tv connect to
public �ewer when it is available. At the present ti,�e, laws da not require
connecting to public water supply when an adaqu�te pressurized potable well
aupply is serving thc� building.
The City is requiring aIl properties that came inta the City in the 1974 I�land
Annexation and with Qubiic eewer available ta conneet to the public sewer before
September 1, 1980. Your propertq at 23b2 Vinl�nd is included in this requirement.
I recomu�end that you also install a water service pipe at thi$ time. The water '
service pipe would not be required to b� ueed. If at a future time you wanted to
connact to public water. another trench will not have to be dug. The trenching
is s costiy pert of the install�tion. Sewer service and water service may be
instelled in the same trench if conditions are right. If you choase not to
connect to public c�m ter supply, a water meter is required on well aupply. A �
pollution charge would be made for use of the public owned treatm�nt works.
Faucets furnishing aater for use outaide of the building may be taken off ahead �
of the well supplq meters ancl then pollution charges u�ulda�t be charg�d for
water used for lawns, �ardens and so on.

I also recommend that you have your plumber inspect your pr�sent plusabing system.
Inspection wr�uld deter�niue if yo►►r present plumbing syste�a is adequstely inatalled
to protect occupants from hsalth haaarda. F'ublic s�rer mains contain rasny sewer
gasas that are normally not in a s�ptie aystem. These gases can be very toxic
and explosive. Any part of your existing plumbing systes thet ian't in cod� '
campliance and by reason af non-compliance tends to ereste � health hazard would �
hava to be repaired, renovated, replaced or removed before connecting to the i
public �ewer.
If you have any questions, call me at City tiall, 424-0383. A�y normal office
hours are from 8:Q0 to 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 to 2:0� p.�a.
