April 6, 2006 <br />�'UBL/C K/O?K5 <br />BEU BROWN <br />2126 124T" ST SE <br />EVERETT WA 98208 <br />Re: Connection to Available Public Sewer -- <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 ��lunicipal Code requires all <br />property owners within 150 feet or adjacent to a public sanitary sewer shall connect <br />their private sewer system to the public sewer after being notified 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 oiir sanitary sewer <br />chart indicating the proximity of your properly 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 yuur 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 rneans of proof. Another 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 residenl'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 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 re�uest from the property owner, extend the time to <br />connect to the public sewer for a perio! of up to a maximum of 10 years; provided that, <br />at the property owner's expense, the Snohomish Health U�strict certi(ies, in writing, to <br />the Public Works Department 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 retum lhe enclosed form. <br />Everett Municipal Code further establishes that all properties within 150 feet o( an <br />available oublic sanitary sewer, who fail to connect after notice by the City, shall pay to <br />CITY OF EV6RETT • 3200 Cedar Street • Eer.retl, 1NA 9A201 •(425) 257-8800 • Fa.c (A25) 257-88A2 <br />
