71 <br />Mr. Smith discussed a letter from the Town of Arlington relative to the <br />high coliform counts found in samples taken from the Munroe Brook near Reed's MUNROE <br />Brook in East Lexington. BROOK <br />Mr. Smith went on to explain that these brooks do drain into the Arl- <br />ington Reservoir which is used for swimming like our "Res" therefore Arling- <br />ton was very upset. However, the samples we took at the same places were <br />not as high as the counts Arlington had and we will continue to take samples <br />and watch for any problems in the area. <br />Dr. Erdos brought up a question relative to illegal sewer connections ILLEGAL SEWER <br />in general and specifically illegal connections in the Brookwood Road and CONNECTIONS <br />Fairfield Drive area. He felt, considering the past and present problems, <br />the Town was experiencing with the municipal sewer system in this area of <br />Town that every effort should be made to insure that illegal connections <br />should be severed. He further stated that this should be the Town wide <br />policy and not restricted to any specific area. Mr. Lambie supported this <br />idea and further indicated that the Board of Health should take specific <br />action to see that these connections be broken if it was within the aegis <br />of the Board of Health to do so. <br />Mr. Smith explained to the Board members that he was not aware of any <br />Health Regulation already existing that calls for Board of Health action to <br />sever illegal sewer donnection3. He was, however, aware that this condition <br />is covered in the plumbing code, MDC Sewer regulations and in Chapter 83 <br />of the General Laws which pertained to sewer, drains and sidewalks. <br />The Board requested that its concern be noted and forwarded to the Town <br />Manager with the expectation that action be initiated to deal with this <br />problem if not covered by existing regulations. <br />The following permits were signed by the board: <br />RETAIL FOOD STORE <br />White Hen Pantry: 373 Massachusetts Avenue <br />MOTEL PERMITS TO OPERATE <br />Battle Green Inn, 1920 Massachusetts Avenue <br />Sheaaton-Lexington Motor Inn, 727 Marrett Road <br />PERMIT FOR FROZEN DESSERTS <br />White Hen Pantry, 373 Massachusetts Avenue <br />FOOD ESTABLISHMENT PERMITS <br />Fairlawn Nursing Home <br />Dana Home of Lexington <br />Hancock Nursing Home <br />Cinema I and Cinema II <br />Brigham's, Inc., 1775 Mass Ave. and 38 Bedford Street. <br />East Village Nursing Home <br />White Hen Pantry <br />Pewter Pot Restaurant <br />Pinecrest Nursing Home (Pineknoll) <br />Church of Our Redeemer <br />Raytheon Cafeteria <br />
