341 Patricia Paul went to Fitzgerald's today (6/21/82) and found they had five horses on their property. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had a complaint about a basement apartment DRAIN that had one inch or so of water come in during the rains. Water was about PROBLEMS one inch on their carpet and had soaked it. The landlord would not pull up the carpet to dry it out and give the floor a chance to dry. This couple had a legitimate complaint but instead of taking care of the problem the landlord has evicted them. On June 7th Mr. Smith was notified sewers were backing up. Lincoln Street Landfill opened up. Water came out clear. Mr. Smith thinks there may be a "spring" under there. Walter Tonaszuch of the D.P.W. has taken water samples. Saddle Club area was mostly just water but Potter's Pond really took it on the chin. Mr. Smith thinks there may have been a sewer back-up over there. We have had many complaints (calls) from residents about the taste and smell of WATER the water. The M.D.C. has been treating the Water for algae. TREATMENT AquaVend Water Machines (Stop & Shop) has to be "ealed" by the Weights and Measures. The Rabies Clinic held in June this year was very small compared to other years. The Rabies Clinic this year was much smaller than usual. We did a little *ABIES CLINfl less than 400 dogs. The clinic went well, but was a little slow. We will do the clinic for two days again next year and if it does not pick up, then we will think about running for one day only in the future. The 3 -year vaccine seems to have made a difference. We have been notified by the State that we will be given a good portion of FLU our allotment of the flu vaccine for the Fall Clinic. We will buy 125 doses VACCINE ourselves so that we will have enough for the clinic. The clinic will be "free" this year as the vaccine supply will come from the State. If, by chance, we have any vaccine left over, we can offer it to the nursing homes. Mr. Smith told the Board that the pigs at the Defelice Farm are gone.
