In fact Dr. _~u~ca~ fro~ Health Department came out and instructed us. I have alvays tried to. take care of my Prop?rrM and make it an asset to the community. Until Sentember 20~ 1974 I have not received an~ official notification that mus! hook u~ to sewer. In fact at the beRinninu of the summer I con%acted the . 6.A.A'.B. to' in&uire if it vas going t9 be mandatory this year to hook U~' to as I was~p~anning on constructing a fence around my pro~erty~ and .~he line. woul~ have to cr~ss the fence. I'~was told, at that time, that it would not be man- datory uqless I sold. In the meantime I had received several estimates on hook- up te sever and I was ouoted $700:00 and $750:00 which I felt was entirely too ~ much to go apreximately 90 feet. My neighbor~ who had to go three times furth&r, ~id $250:00. On a~roximately September 5, i974. I $22.95. I proceeded te contact the received a sever user bill in the amo~mt of G.K.A'.B. and they finally came out and put dye dowm my toilet and determined I w~s~ in fact, not hooked up to sewer and told me to. disregard the bill and that I.w~uld be receiving a letter__to th_i~. effect so that I vouldn't receive any more bills. Aproximately three days later~ on Seo~ember 20~ 1974~ I received a certified letter from the G~.A;B'. stating I musf hook up to sewer by October 18.,. 1~74. tf this were true, why didn't they. tell me before? I have talked to other poop'lc in the general area and they have been told they do not have to hook up, unless they sell their property. .SqmethinE like 'Rrandfather Rights' until the time that the entire area is re-- Gutted to hook up and more time is usually allowed than 28 days~ I 40 not in- tend to sell my home and in (11) eleven years have never had any trouble with the ce-sspool. It is not a septic tank as indicated in their letter. This are~ is Solid 'r6ck 'a~d '~r~e'l~'a septic tank is not' necessary. I have had my Water checked numerous times and it has always come back 0.K. Thoro'are other people in this same area still on cesspools and septic tanks and I can't help, but think this would never have come about if it weren't for %he bill I received and this is an underhanded way of'doing business. I am a vidov, my husband passed away with cancer in 1987, and my present income is only $520.00 per month and putting out this money at this time is impossible without selling my home and leaving Alaska. I am presently under treatment for " conti~ue~ (please u~e additicnal sheets 3- ~'~c~ssar a"work injury and this is where my income is coming from, Workman's Cempensa%ion. In addition %o this I have a fractured ja~ lacerations~ broken glasses etc. which I sustained in a hit and run accident September 15~ 1974. I canner afford a private attorney at this time. The legal discription of my property is: Block 8~ Lot 14~ ~entworth Subdivision. Any help you can give me in this situation will be greatly apDreciate~.
