R' ' PUBLIC WORKS Y3 November 13, 2013 Kristofer Forrest 2231 Rockefeller Avenue Everett, WA 98201 Re: Backwater Valve Installation at 2231 Rockefeller Avenue Dear Mr. Forrest: The City's contractor, Steve's Plumbing, inspected your plumbing and drainage on October 11, 2013 to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your property. Their findings indicate that installing a backwater valve would be beneficial. Please review the enclosed report. Previously, you signed the Backwater Valve Authorization Form authorizing the City to install a backwater valve at your property. Based on the inspection report, we are proceeding with the installation. The City's contractor, Archer Construction, will be contacting you in late November to schedule the work. This will require some excavation on your property. The City will provide you on-site training on the operation and maintenance of the backwater valve. Maintenance of the valve and the plumbing, sewer, and drainage on your property are your responsibility. The inspection identified additional site drainage and plumbing deficiencies in your private drainage and plumbing system. These include: • Private side sewer has a severe break • Basement has an open pipe floor drain • Additional work could be completed to seal exterior walls from groundwater intrusion These deficiencies are your responsibility to address, as you desire. The City is not responsible for future sewer or storm damages that may result from improper maintenance of, or deficiencies within, your private plumbing and drainage system. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Grant Moen at 425-257-8947 or gmoen@everettwa.gov, or Brian Doolan at 425-257-8828 or bdoolan@everettwa.gov. Thank you for your interest in our backwater valve program.
