CANTON Attorneys for the town of Canton will be sending a reply letter to the state Department of Environmental Conservation notifying the agency that there are no publicly owned sewer systems in the town.
The DEC recently sent a notice to the town to register what it believes is a publicly owned sewer system or face a fine of more than $37,000 per day until it is registered.
Town Supervisor Mary Ann Ashley told the board at their meeting Dec. 10 that, after conferring with the town codes department and the village department of public works, she had contacted the DEC after receiving the notice to tell them that the town does not operate such a system.

For the second year in a row, the Adirondack Council has petitioned for a judicial review of a local all-terrain vehicle law passed by the town of Clare. Filed Nov. 5 in St. Lawrence County, the petition seeks to have the ATV law voided on the basis of three alleged violations of state Vehicle and Traffic Law, the state Constitution and the state Environmental Quality Review Act.
