The new regulation, mandated by the state Water Control Board, will affect places such as laundromats, Mayor Cromer Hedrick said during the March Town Council meeting.
Council appointed Wayne Weikel, director of public utilities, to draft an amendment to the town's ordinance to reflect the requirement.
In other business, council:
Asked Town Attorney Paul Tucker to look into a new state regulation that will require small municipalities to begin deducting Social Security taxes from town employees' paychecks. Hedrick told council that Fincastle already puts money into IRA accounts for its employees, and it may not be required to participate in this new ruling. The towns involved must deduct 7 1/2 percent from employees' wages for Social Security, Hedrick said.
Discussed Clean Fincastle Day, to be held April 20 in conjunction with Clean Valley Day. Council members will count the bags of trash brought to the town office from 10 a.m until 2 p.m., and prizes to the top collectors will be $25 for first place in the individual category, $15 for second place and $25 for each group that participates.
Voted to pay at least half of the $463 electric bill for the 1990 Christmas lights display, in addition to any amount that the Keep Fincastle Lit committee can't pay.
Rejected a written request from Roanoke County Board of Supervisors member Steve McGraw to contribute to the Arts Council of Roanoke Valley.
