2P) PUBLIC WORKS April 26, 2012 Eleanor Hurley 1407 Oakes Avenue Everett, Washington 98201 Re: Plumbing Investigation at 1407 Oakes Avenue Dear Eleanor, The City of Everett's contractor, Seattle Drain Services, inspected your plumbing and drainage on August 17, 2011, to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your property. Their report, which is attached, recommends that the existing backwater valve be reinstalled and the side sewer re-graded to ensure that it reduces the risk of basement flooding from sewer surcharge. Because this backwater valve was installed via a City- provided program, we are offering it to be reinstalled. Your next step is to confirm that you want to participate in our backwater valve inspection program. If you do, please call Grant Moen at 425-257-8947. We will then hire a contractor to repair the side sewer and backwater valve. At the conclusion of the work, the excavation will be refilled and hardened surfaces (driveways and/or sidewalks) will be restored. You will also be provided training on the operation and maintenance of the backwater valve. Restoration of grass and landscaping are your responsibility. Please review the report to see where it identifies other deficiencies in your sewer and drainage system that could lead to future problems. These private deficiencies are your responsibility and we recommend that you take steps to correct these issues. We also recommend that you regularly inspect your sewer and drainage systems to ensure they are working properly. Thank you for your interest in our backwater valve program. If you have any questions, please contact Marla Carter (425-257-8875, mcarterrci.everett,wa.us) or Grant Moen (425-257-8947, gmoenCici.everett.wa,us).
