PUBLIC WORKS <br /> s <br /> March 12, 2014 <br /> Nikki Oku <br /> 1902 Lombard Ave <br /> Everett, WA 98201 <br /> Re: Backwater Valve Installation at 1902 Lombard Ave <br /> Dear Ms. Oku: <br /> The City's contractor, Steve's Plumbing, inspected your plumbing and drainage on September <br /> 19, 2013 to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your property. Their findings <br /> indicate that installing a backwater valve on your property would be beneficial. Please review <br /> the enclosed report. <br /> Previously, you signed 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,Archer Construction, will be contacting you in <br /> March 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 responsibility. The inspection identified additional site drainage and plumbing <br /> deficiencies in your private drainage and plumbing system. These include: <br /> • 2 feet outside the house, the line is broken and needs to be excavated and repaired. <br /> • The area drain may need to re-located so as not to flood basement when backwater <br /> valve is enacted. <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. 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 />
