“Pipes have been uncovered as well as a large pool that does have water in it,” the superintendent, Debra Winter, wrote in an email on Tuesday. “Making progress.”
During a special meeting last Thursday, the Springs School Board announced its decision to tear up the asphalt covering a play area in order to “assess what is going on with our system, as well as determine what the dollar amount will be for repairs,” Ms. Winter said.
The school’s septic system has not been functioning since April and has had to be pumped out every 10 days since then. Preliminary assessments performed by BBS and Lombardo Associates, an environmental consulting and engineering firm called in to evaluate the problem, found that several pools marked on the original site map can no longer be located.
