Dear Mr. Sawicki:
In 1974, your property at 1804 03ive was annexed to the City of 4ahkosh. A
check of City records show that this property has not beea connected to the
public sewer.
State of Wieconsin and Municipal Law requires all habitable buildings to cannect
to public sewer when it is available. At the present time laws do not require
connection to the public water supply when an adequate preasurized potable water
supply is serving the building.
The City is requiring all properties that came into the City in the 1974 Islaaii
Annexation and with public sewer available to connect to the public sewer before
September 1, 1980. Your propertq �t 1804 Olive is included in thie require-
�aent. The public utilities were installed under City Contract 1-68. An
assea�c�enfi of $300.00 has been charged against your property for utility improve-
aents. This aseesament will have to be paid to the City Clerk before counecting
to pubiic utilitie�. Call ^ir. Marks� City Clerk for fnrther inforaiation on pay�nt
of asseascnents.
I recommeud that you also install a water service pipe at this ti�e. The water
service would not be required to be u$ed. If at a future ttsae you wanted to
connect to public u�atar, another trettch would not have to be dug. The trenching
is a costly part of this inatallation. Sewer service and water service may be
instailed in the same trench if condition� are right. If you choose not to
connect to the public water supply, a water meter ie required on well supply.
A pollution chazge will be made for nse of the publ�c owned treats�ent works.
Fanceta furnishing water for use outside of the building sr►ay be teken off ahead of
the well supply taeter$ and then pollution char�es wouldn't be charged for water
used for lawns, gardens and so on.

protect occupants fro� health haa�rds. Public sewer mains comtain �any sewer
gases that are normallq not in a �eptic sqet�m. These gas�s can be very tnxic

caupli�nce and hy reasau of aon-campliance teuds to create a hea2th hazard
would have to be tepaired, renovated, replaced or remov�d before connectin� to
public sewer.
