Mr. O'Neal said C & M had been given the authority to serve area from Indiana Regulatory Commission and currently C & M had excess capacity for minimum of 80 homes. Mr. Holloway said this would take care of Phase 1 and part of Phase 11. Commissioner McGuire asked if anyone knew who held Certificate of Authority. Ross Holloway said worst case scenario would be if development had to install their own wastewater treatment plant. Commissioner Pygman commented Ashbury Park Treatment Plant was within one-half mile of this area and it was dumping on Ed Bucker's property. He said the State was not overseeing this problem. Commissioner McGuire stated over one quarter million gallons of treated water will be coming down thru area. He said the responsibility of Plan Commission is to see that a good treatment plant is there for preliminary plat approval.
