711OLIC WORKS <br />February 12, 2014 <br />Brian Lewandoski <br />2126 Walnut Street <br />Everett, WA 9&01 <br />Re: Backwater Valve Installation at 2126 Walnut Street <br />Dear Mr. Lewandoski: <br />The City's contractor, Steve's Plumbing, inspected your plumbing and drainage on September <br />26, 2013 to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your property. Their findings <br />indicate that replacing the existing backwater valve on your property would be beneficial. <br />Please review the enclosed report. <br />Previously, you signzd the Backwater Valve Authorization Form authorizing the City to install <br />a backwater valve at your property. Based on the inspection report, we are proceeding with <br />the installation. The City's contractor, Welwest Construction, will be contacting you in <br />February to 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 i esponsibility. The inspection identified additional site drainage and plumbing <br />deficiencies in your private drainage and plumbing system. These include: <br />• Additional work could be completed to seal exterior walls from groundwater intrusion <br />• North side sewer has an obstruction and root intrusion <br />• South side sewer could be relined to extend the useful life of the pipe <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 questicios 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.nov. Thank <br />you for your interest in our backwater valve program. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark Sadler <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 />
