0 ° <br /> PUBLIC WORKS <br /> AILr <br /> `(' (vs.(e� `, <br /> April 26, 2012 <br /> David Kooister <br /> 414 Rockefeller Avenue <br /> Everett, Washington 98201 <br /> Re: Plumbing Investigation at 414 Rockefeller Avenue <br /> Dear David, <br /> The City of Everett's contractor, Seattle Drain Services, inspected your plumbing and <br /> drainage on November 14, 2011, to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your <br /> property. Their report, which is attached, recommends that a backwater valve is installed <br /> to reduce the risk of basement flooding from sewer backups. <br /> Because of recent basement flooding and that the inspection identified the benefit of a <br /> backwater valve, the City is offering to install the valve. However, some additional private <br /> side sewer improvements are also needed which are your responsibility to allow the <br /> backwater valve to function properly. <br /> Your next step is to confirm that you want to participate in our backwater valve <br /> installation program. If you do, please call Grant Moen at 425-257-8947. We will then hire <br /> a contractor to install the valve if you are also willing to pay for necessary upgrade to <br /> your side sewer. At the conclusion of the work, the excavation will be refilled and <br /> hardened surfaces (driveways and/or sidewalks) will be restored. You will also be <br /> provided training on the operation and maintenance of the valve. Restoration of grass and <br /> landscaping are your responsibility. <br /> Note also that the report identifies a deficiency in your sewer and drainage system that <br /> could lead to problems. This is your responsibility and we recommend that you take steps <br /> to correct it: <br /> • The side sewer is in poor condition and holds water which could cause blockages <br /> in the line. <br /> Thank you for your interest in our backwater valve program. If you have any questions, <br /> please contact Marla Carter (425-257-8875, mcarterc'ci.everett.wa.us) or Grant Moen <br /> (425-257-8947, gmoenna ci.everett.wa.us). <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 />
