• February 24, 1998 I called Mr. Olson to inform him that the aforementioned problems existed on the property must be repaired and to contact me when they were done so that I could verify that the work has been completed. • March 3 , 1998 Mr. Arne called me to ask why Mr. Olson has not fixed any of the septic problems. • March 3, 1998 I called Mr. Olson who said he hadn't tested the electrical problem, but thought it wasn't a problem and said the soil is too wet to regrade. I informed him that the electrical problem must be repaired soon,but he could wait for dry conditions to regrade. He said he would call when electrical work is done. • March 11, 1998 Mr. Arne called and said electrician has not come yet. • March 11, 1998 I called Mr. Olson to ask why work has not been completed. He told me that his electrician was very busy and is having a hard time getting him out there. Mr. Olson assured me the work would be done soon. • March 18, 1998 I called Mr. Olson to find out whether the electrical repair was completed. He told me that he would repair the electrical problem soon , but his electrical contractor was too busy so he had to find another. • March 23, 1998 I called Mr. Olson again to ask whether the work had been completed. He said he would start looking for another electrical contractor to complete the work if his own would not do the work soon. He will call me when the electrical work is complete. • April 16, 1998 Mr. Arne called to ask why nothing has been done to fix the problems with the septic system. Since Mr. Olson has not made any progress in resolving the septic system problems, this letter is being sent to RKO Builders and to Mr. and Mrs. Arne to document our efforts to correct the problems with the system. On a related topic, Mr. and Mrs. Arne asked me whether it is acceptable to pump the major portion of the pumping station volume into the drainfield at one time once the electrical is reconnected and the pump is functional since electrical failures have plagued the pumping station. Pumping a volume larger than designed,which is never more than one fourth of the designed daily flow is not acceptable and will likely damage or cause discharge from the drainfield. The pumping station must be pumped out by a licensed contractor prior to reconnecting the sewage pump. Please contact me at the City Offices if there are any questions.
