Editor’s query: Wilusz commented on the substantial cost of these septic systems (possibly as much as $60,000). With all the building around the lake, each requiring a new septic, if the new owners got together, couldn’t they cover the cost of connecting all of them to Town sewer? Wilusz, Loiodice, and others have remarked often that it would be healthier for lake.
