Their findings indicate <br /> that installing a backwater valve would be beneficial. Please review the enclosed report. <br /> Previously, you signed the Backwater Valve Authorization Form authorizing the city to install <br /> a backwater valve at your residence. Based on the inspection report, we are proceeding with <br /> the installation. The city's contractor, Tellus LLC, will be contacting you in November to <br /> schedule the work. This will require some excavation on your property. <br /> The City will provide you on-site training on the operation and maintenance of the backwater <br /> valve. Maintenance of the valve and the plumbing, sewer, and drainage on your property are <br /> your responsibility. The inspection identified additional site drainage and plumbing <br /> deficiencies in your private drainage and plumbing system. These include: <br /> • Side sewer video showed signs of deterioration <br /> • Ensure downspouts discharge without creating erosion or directing water to building <br /> • Additional work could be completed to seal exterior walls from groundwater intrusion <br /> These deficiencies are your responsibility to address, as you desire. The City is not <br /> responsible for future sewer or storm damages that may result from improper maintenance <br /> of, or deficiencies within, your private plumbing and drainage system. <br /> If you have any questions about this process, please contact Grant Moen at 425-257-8947 or <br /> gmoen@everettwa.gov, or Brian Doolan at 425-257-8828 or bdoolan@everettwa.gov. <br /> Thank you for your interest in our backwater valve program. <br /> S' erely, <br /> Mark Sa r, P.E. <br /> Maintenance Superintendent <br /> Everett Public Works <br /> CITY OF EVERETT• 3200 Cedar Street• Everett, WA 98201 • (425)257-8800 • Fax (425) 257-8882 <br />
