In 1989 a new house was <br /> constructed on the property. When excavation work was being done for <br /> the septic system, the contractor discovered an eight inch pipe buried <br /> about 6'+ in the ground. The pipe had an intermittent water f low that <br /> smelled like swamp water. An investigation of the site and <br /> surrounding area was conducted to locate the source. No source could <br /> be located. It was decided that the pipe would be plugged to stop the <br /> water flow. If water backed up somewhere, then we could locate the <br /> source. Time passed and there was no backups or complaints from <br /> neighbors. Then the owner of the new home (Bruce Boni 473-4638 ) <br /> started experiencing water problems in his basement. He called the <br /> septic instal ler (Patnode Bros 420-3793) and had him connect on to the <br /> pipe and run it to the road where it dumps the water on the shoulder. <br /> It then runs to a storm sewer and under the road (see attached <br /> diagram). This work was done without the City's approval and without <br /> a permit or inspections. <br /> The City at this point does not have a problem with the work and feels <br /> it was necessary to alleviate a problem. At this time it is not <br /> causing an erosion problem but when the ground thaws it may. The pipe <br /> could be run underground to the culvert that runs under County Road <br /> 15. If you have any questions or if I can assist you in any way, <br /> please feel free to contact me at my office. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ����'�`�.-- • <br /> LYI�E OMAN <br /> Building Official <br /> LO/ch <br /> En c. ���orrE-ar�-r�s�•Fn1c-ar�osio <br />
