RE: SANITARY SEITER DEFICIBNCY AT 823 NOR?H 4TH STREET, SPRINGFIELD, OREGON
Dear !{r. and Mrs. Bond:
In conjunction vith the construetion of tLe netropolitan vastevater treatment plant
and subsequent improvements to Springfield's sanitary sever system, the City must
also eause certain repairs to be made to private sanitary sever systems. There are
tvo primary reasons for this action:
1) Many defects exist in the private se'-'er system vhich allov storm vater to enter
the sanltary sever. As a result, millions of gallons of vater that should not be
entering thl sanitary sever must be treated at a great expense to the users of this
facility.
z) Many of the problems that exist in the private sanitary sek'er system are real or
pot"ntiat treatth hazards. Broken sever laterals not only allov storm vater to enter
the sanitary sever, but they also allov rav sevage to escape into the ground' In
addition, faulty sever or diain vents may also a]Iov 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 specific segments of the City's sewer
system, also r.u."I.d that the private sanitary sewer and/or plumbing drainage system
