April 6, 2006 <br />PUBL/C f�f�'�R/C5 <br />LYLE WHELCHEL <br />2009 122ND PL SE <br />EVERETT WA 98208 <br />Re: Connection to Available Public Sewer -- 2009 122ND PL SE <br />This letter is to inform you that a review of our records indicates that your property may <br />not be connected to the public sewer system. The Everett Municipal Code requires all <br />property owners within 150 feet or adjacent to a public sanitary sewer shall connect <br />their private se�ver system to the public sewer after being notifled by the City of Everett <br />Public Works Department. <br />Our records also indicate that your property is adjacent to, or is within 150 feet of an <br />existing public sanitary sewer. I have enclosed an excerpt from our sanitary sewer <br />chart indicating the proximity of your property to a public sanitary sewer system. Any <br />costs to connect, including construction and monthly sewer service charges, is to be <br />borne by the property owner. <br />If you believe your residence or business is currently connected to the City's sewer <br />main, please contact the City of Everett Public Works Department at 425-257-8800 so <br />we can update our records. <br />A sewer permit and application issued by the City and signed by an inspector is one <br />viable means of proof. Anotlier alternative to prove the structure is connected to the <br />sewer system is to allow the City of Everett to perform a dye test. A dye test requires <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 ihe sewer main if the residence is hooked up to the sewer system. <br />In the event you are not currently connected to the sewer and wish to delay connection, <br />the City engineer may, on written request from the property uwner, extend the time to <br />connect to the public sewer for a period of up to a maximum of 10 years; provided that, <br />at the property owner's expense, the Snohomish Health District certifies, in writing, to <br />the Public Works DPpartment that the existing sewage system is operational. The <br />Snohomish Health District can be contacted at 425-339-5250; ask for the Wastewater <br />Division. To request a waiver, please return the enclosed form. <br />Everett �9unicipal Code further establishes that all properties within 150 feet of an <br />available public sanitary sewer, who fail to connect after notice by the City, shall pay to <br />.,ITY OF EV[RETT • 3200 Cedar Slreet • Everett, VW> 98201 •(4251 257-8800 • Fax (42Ci) 757-8AE32 <br />
