Just an FYI....

Last night, the Laconia City Council had a meeting, and on the agenda was a public hearing on Ordinance 2022-189 to amend City Code Chapter 189, Sewers.

Long story short, the crux of the ordinance is a new requirement that all private HOA/Condo associations that connect to the Laconia Sewer System (Winnipesaukee Basin) have ANNUAL inspections. These inspections are projected to cost approx $5k a year for a small association to possibly tens of thousands per year for larger associations such as Southdown/Long Bay! The Per the meeting last night, the City Council will be having at least 1 more hearing on this ordinance before they vote.

This proposed ordinance change has been "flying under the radar" as this was the 2nd public hearing about it. despite the large amount of condo associations and HOA's here in Laconia, Southdown/Long Bay was the only major development represented last night at the meeting.
