PH. <br />We have received a copy of your letter of June 30, 1975, to James E. Peavy, <br />M.D., M.P.H., Director of Health Resources, in regard to the approval of plans <br />submitted by the Chemline Corporation for connections to both the water and <br />. sewer systems of the City of La Porte. <br />It is neither the intention nor the desire of this Department to pre-empt local <br />control of water and sewer service connections. Our acceptance of the planning <br />material, as stated in our letter of June 26, 1975, was based on the public <br />health engineering aspects of the material only. Although it was our under- <br />standing at the time the engineering plans and specifications were submitted <br />that City officials had been contacted concerning this matter, the City of <br />La Porte is in no way obligated by our acceptance of the planning material. <br />It is the responsibility of the engineer and the system owner to either complete <br />the arrangements detailed in our letter or to submit revised planning material <br />for alternate arrangements. <br />Your attention to these matters is greatly appreciated. If we may provide <br />further clarification of the above, please let us know. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Thomas D. Tiner, P.E., Chief <br />Domestic Water Supply Branch <br />Division of Environmental Engineering <br />MVL:jd <br />• ` <br />cc: Chemline Corporation <br />R. W.
