I have enclosed an excerpt from our saniL-!ry sewer <br />chart indicaling the proximity of your property to a public sanitary sewer system. Any <br />costs to ccnnect, including construction and monthly sewer service charges, i� to be <br />borne by the property owner. <br />If you believe your residence or ousiness is currently connecte� to the City's sewer <br />main, please contact the City ot Everett Public Wo�ics DepaAment at 425-257-8600 so <br />we can update our records. <br />A sewer permit and application issued by the Ciry and signed by an inspector is one <br />viable means of proof. Another alternative to prove the structure is connected to the <br />sewer system is to allow the City of Everett to periorm a dye test. A dye iest re�,uires <br />the owner's permission and the resident's notification to allow a city employee to enter <br />the premises and flush dye into the toilet. In a short amount of time the colored water <br />will appear in the sewer main if the re�idence is hooked up to the sewer system. <br />In the event you are not currently con� �cted to the sewer and wish to delay connection, <br />the City engineer may, on written re:;�est from the property owner, extend the time to <br />connect to the public sewer for a period of up to a maxim�m oi 10 years; provided that, <br />at the property owner's expense, the Snohomish Health District certifies, in writing, to <br />the Public Works Gepartment that the existing sewage system is operational. The <br />Snol�omish Health District can be contacted at 425-339-5250; ask for the Wastewater <br />Division. To request a waiver, please retum the enclosed form. <br />Everett Municipal Code (urther establishes that all properties within 150 teet of an <br />ava�lable public sanitary sewer, who fail to connect after notice by the City, shall pay to <br />��I i v c if F VFRETI • 3200 Cedar �trect • Fverett.
