Dear Chair Gabbard, Vice Chair Ruderman, and Committee Members:
RE: SB 221, Relating to Cesspools
The cost of cesspool conversion is going to be prohibitive for many of our residents.
It is therefore in everyone's interest that assistance be provided for those who must convert to
a septic system or aerobic treatment, or connect to a sewerage system.
I hope you will act favorably on SB 221.
Respectfully Submitted,
•
Hbrry Kim
