Residents have had to put up with septic odors and runoff from an overloaded septic leach field. Walter Horgan, president of the tenants' association at the 88-unit park, said that tenants were pleased to hear that the work will proceed. Selectman David A. Delanski said the faulty septic system raised the threat of residents having to be forced to move. Completion of the new sewer line will mean that they will not have to move, he said. Residents have had problems with discoloration and a fishy smell in their drinking water for years.
Many people there buy bottled drinking water.
