Ery Hoglund 615 Wetmore Ave. Everett, WA 98201 March 4, 2014 Storm Claims City of Everett Public Works 3200 Cedar Street Everett, WA 98201 Ref: Your letter dated February 21,2014. In regards to the referenced letter, I have decided to install a new sewage pump that will pump 50 gpm at 25 feet of head. I am in the process of coordinating with a plumbing company to install the sewage pump. I believe in being pro-active and on September 23, 2013 I sent an email to the Mayor and City Council members suggesting two items that would reduce surface water entering the combined sewer system. Public Works has been recommending"rain gardens"and"rain barrels"to reduce surface water entering the sewer system. My first suggestion was having the Everett Community College establish a rain garden on the SW area of the dog leg on the third fairway of Legion Golf Course. Runoff water from the downspouts on the buildings on the golf course side of the fairway plus redirecting runoff water from the expanded parking lot that slops towards Wetmore be directed to the rain garden. With the tort claim filed by ECC, I believe the rain garden would prevent future claims for damage as caused during August 29 weather. My second suggestion in the email was redirecting downspouts on homes that currently drain into the combined sewer system. Northwest Neighborhood News in February published a very good article on redirecting downspouts. I suggest Public Works contract with the Snohomish County PUD and have their meter readers make a note regarding the status of the homes downspouts as they read the meters. I suggest that the process should cover the area of Everett in which projects"M" and"N"are planned. This could be accomplished in two months (electrical meters are read every other month).
