Dear Mr. Sartor:
This letter is mainly to thank you for your attention to the water
table problem that I first wrote to you about on October 11 .
To begin with, I was glad to have the opportunity to meet with you
a few weeks ago and discuss various aspects of this situation in
person. It was obvious that you were informed on the subject.
Secondly, I received a copy of the 1982 ground water study from the
Town Engineer. Thirdly, I was told by Phil Braender that you had
inquired about the map I mentioned which shows an underground
stream passing through my property. He also mentioned, as did Mr.
Martel's letter, that the possibility of connecting my footing
drains to the nearby storm sewers is being investigated.
I have a few comments concerning the study entitled "Groundwater
Conditions of the Parkcentre Development, South Windsor,
Connecticut". It referred to an "accompanying map" which was not
included with the copy I received. The study seemed to me to be
somewhat vague and undefinitive. (Five pages were devoted to the
study itself, and ten pages were devoted to Environmental
Management Counselors and the three consultants. ) Perhaps the most
interesting item in the report were two references to ditches that
substantially lowered the water table in their immediate
vicinities. Can future earth-moving activity in Parkcentre include
such ditches near our neighborhood, especially near my property?
I have continued to think about the "randomness" of the water table
height over the years, and I must say this: The level of the water
table, as observed in my sump hole, has been reasonably
commensurate with the time of year and magnitude of precipitation
throughout the twenty years I have lived in this house. . . .until
this summer! I still believe that the likeliest explanation for
this unprecedented water level is that earth moving activities in
Parkcentre have affected drainage, quite possibly altering the flow
of my infamous underground stream. I hope to explore this theory
further, and I certainly wouldn't mind if the Town did the same.
I look forward to hearing from you when further information has
been developed. I very much hope that the efforts being expended
to explore this problem will lead to concrete steps to alleviate
it. Thanks again, and have a happy holiday.
Sincerely yours,
Stan ey Greenberg

Dear Emil:
I understand that Bill Shuteran and the Parks and Grounds personnel are now
engaged in the construction and improvements of the Edgewood Drive recreation
project.
This project is being funded through Revenue Sharing monies in the amount n9t
to exceed $3,800.00 You should have all costs relating to this project charged
to this specific project. This means that labor, materials and equipment costs
should be properly designated to the project in an manner acceptable to Mrs.
Russak in the Finance Department. Please contact Mrs. Russak as to the method
of charging off the projects from our regular appropriations.
Thank you for your early attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
TOWN OF SOUTH WIN OR

MEMORANDUM
TO: Emil Lucek, Director of Public Works
FROM: Terry V. Sprenkel, Town Manager
DATE: August 19, 1974
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF DIANE DRIVE AND EDGEWOOD DRIVE RECREATION AREAS
UTILIZING REVENUE SHARING FUNDS.
Council, under the Revenue Sharing Trust Funds, has allocated $3,800 for the
construction of the Edgewood Drive recreation area and $4,000 from 4043 for
the Diane Drive recreational area.
These projects must be undertaken and completed, including seeding, this Fall.
Plans should be made immediately to see that these projects are properly com-
pleted and the grass area has proper time to get a start before the end of
the growing season.
You have the right to use the Revenue Sharing Funds for the Edgewood Drive
project utilizing our own crews. This can be done by charging the labor,
material and equipment costs at the prevailing rates and the submission of
materials at the purchase price. However, care should be used to be sure
that all costs can be properly identified with the projects involved.
Please provide me with'a time schedule on these two projects so I can be
assured that the work will be completed in the present growing and construct-
ion season.
cc: Wm. Shuteran, Park Superintendent
