4 WATER AND SEWER COMMITTEE
The Water and Sewer Committee met on this date in the Conference Room at City Hall.
Present were Committee members Nystul and Springer, Mayor McDowell, Councilman
Grainger, DPW Hammer, Superintendent Hughes, Sandy Fellows and Dennis Carver. -
North Valley Sewer Line
The Superintendent reported that the TV camera will be here next week to inspect the
line on First Alley East, from Washington to Nevada street. The inspection will in-
dicate if there is any problem with handling the anticipated flow from the sewer
district.
Sandy Fellows - WoodLand Trailer Court
Dennis Carver presented the situation faced by Mrs. Fellows atthetrailer court
with failing septic systems. The question has been asked about a sewer S.I.D. and
what area it might include. The EPA study of the vicinity was also mentioned. There
are about 55 landowners in the area that might involve an S.I.D.
A discussion mentioned the previous S.I.D.'s failure. Options include a zone change
so that fewer septic systems would be required by a different use. A lift station
serving just the trailer court vs a system serving a larger area. '
The committee agreed to assist in whatever option Mrs. Fellows chose.
Force Main from North Valley Sewer District
Dennis Carver commented on the backfilling of the force main. His opinion was that
it was OK. He inspected a couple of times a day. The question was raised about 2,500
feet of lines into the Bitney area that were not signed off by the Engineer- Thomas,
Dean & Hoskins. No one knew exactly what the situation was.
Other concerns of the force main were: cleanouts - rely on velocity of water; main-
tenance of pumps before city assumes; information on pumps; access by vehicle to the
wetwell; cleaning the gravity line before it is placed in service.
Meeting adjourned at 5:00 P. M.
