RE: Pool at 47 Beechwood Lane, Mrs. DeCora
Dear Attorney Stawicki,
This is to inform you that on the third of July, 1984
I had cause for such concern for the public health and welfare
that I ordered a 24' above ground pool at the rear of 47 Beech-
wood Lane emptied of all water by the Chesterfield Fire Chief
and Company.
This concern was brought about in the following way:
1. Mrs. DeCora called my office July 3, 1984 and complained
that Treat's Pools, of Avery Lane, Montville had incorrectly
installed a new pool liner very recently and now refused to
correct the problem.
2. She further stated that the circular metal sides had
"slipped" from the base holding ring.
3. I called "Ronnie", of Treat's Pools and asked him what
he intended to do about the problem.
4. He replied that be had sent out James Dutrumble and his
partner Mr. Crowe (at two different times) and they had re-
ported no problem existed.
5. Based on this I called the Civil Defense Director, Mr.
Edward Bragdon, tel. 848-1175, and asked him to investigate.
6. He reported that the people who went out to the site re-
ported a bulge in the side of the pool and that the sides were
"out of the holding ring at the base."

7. Because of the above circumstances I had no alternative
but to relieve the neighborhood of any danger of this size
pool bursting from the side wall and threatening life and
property.

thousand gallons of water is off the holding

of this pool.

sing, I order you to pump out the water as soon as
possible.
