During a routine septic inspection early this spring, the <br /> septic system at Ms. Stewart's residence was noted to be failing due <br /> to very high liquid levels in the septic tanks and surface discharge <br /> of eff luent over the drainfield. <br /> The septic system for t�is property needs to be completely replaced, <br /> however, at this time City sewer has been proposed for the north side <br /> of Stubbs Bay which includes Ms. Stewart's property. Therefore, as an <br /> interim solution, we are suggesting that a 1500 gallon holding tank <br /> and a minimal drainfield be installed until the fate of the sewer <br /> project is determined later this year. If the sewer proposal is <br /> accepted, the property could be hooked up by 1993, but if the sewer <br /> project is rejected, the tank could be used as part of a septic system <br /> � that meets both City and State standards. <br /> Since the system was observed to be failing early this spring, several <br /> complaints have been made by neighbors concerned that contaminants are <br /> being transported into their yards near wells. At this time no direct <br /> surface discharge has been observed leaving the property, however, the <br /> tanks have been pumped out twice to reduce the surface discharge. <br /> Continuing high rainfalls increase the risk of further discharges and <br /> possible health and environmental impact. <br /> The septic system needs immediate repair and the owner has expressed <br /> that she is unable to make the necessary repairs at this time. Any <br /> assistance that could be provided to remedy this problem would be <br /> greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .,2��� ������� <br /> / <br /> John Gerhardson <br /> Public Works Director <br /> JRG/1 S v TELEPHONE—473-7357�FAX-473-0510 <br />
