Re lations Governin Size of Pressure Tanks and P s for Private Wells: The
ordinance governing the construction of wells an private waters supply systems
within the county has been challenged by several people concerning the size of
the pressure tank and pump. The date this ordinance went into effect was April
19, 1972. In 1970 the Board of Health, in connection with a previous ordinance,
voted to change this to "recommended" instead of "shall" and ruled that these two
items had nothing to do with public health.
Motion was made by Mr. Reaves, seconded and passed, that the word "recommended"
be used instead of "shall" in this 1972 ordinance - subject to our legal council's
recommendations.
Seaview Woods Trailer Park Problem With Horses: Mr. Olive had collected well
samples of water as instructed in the May meeting. All samples were "Safe for
Drinking". This board will take no further action.

Dental Health Division of the Department of Human Resources, giving Dr. Laris
Milligan permission to do private practice on the side, were distributed to the
