RE: SAHITARY SE9ER DEFICIENCY AT 815 NORTE 3RD Pi^ACE, SPRINGFIELD, OREGON
Dear Executor:
In conjunction vith the construction of the metropolitan vastevater treatment p1ant
and subsequent improvements to Springfielc's sanitary sever system, the City must
also cause certain repairs to be made to private sanitary sever systems. There are
two primary reasons for this action:
1) Many defects exist in the private sever system vhich allov storm vater to enter
the sanitary sever. As a result, millions of gallons of vater that should not be
entering the sanitary sever must be treated at a great expense to the users of this
faeility.
2) Many of the problems that exist in the private sanitary sever system are real or
potential health hazards. Broken sever laterals not only allov storm vater to enter
the sanitary sever, but they al-so allov rav sevage to escape into the ground. fn
addition, faulty sever or drain vents ma1'a1so allov toxic or explosive sever gases
to enter into building.
Recently, several segments of the City's sanitary sever system vere smoke tested to
locate potential problem areas. The tests on specifie segments of the City's sever
system, also revealed that the private sanitary sever and/or plumbing drainage system
serving your property contains defects. The defect(s) are listed in the attachment.
Please note that, depending on the type of defect, it is not alvays possible to
specify the exact defect or its exact location. For example, vhereas smoke testing
may have indicated a leak in the sever lateral, there may be several causes for the
leak. There may also be several defects in the same sever line. In these cases,
although ve vill be able to suggest a probable cause and location, and offer as much
other information as ve have available, it vill be up to you (or a contractor hired
by you) to locate and correct the deficiencies.
Please contact Ralph Shav of this office as soon as possible regarding this matter.
Mr. Shav is assigned to the program and vill assist you in locating and identifying
plumbing defects. He vi11 also respond to your inspection requests as repair or
replaeement vork progresses. If Mr. Shaw has not been contaeted by you within 30
days, he vill initiate contact
If you have any questions about this natter, please contact Ralph Shav between the
hours of B-9:00 a.m. or 4-5:00 p.m. at 726-3665.
