REGULAR MEETING <br />COMPLAINT - SEWER FAILURE ON CLEARVIEW PLACE <br />359 <br />JANUARY 8. 1979 <br />Jean Gundeck, 725 Clearview Place, was present and advised the <br />Board of a recurring problem with sewer failure near her <br />property. Mrs Gundeck noted she had problems a year ago when <br />water backed up in her basement, causing damage to carpeting and <br />furnishings and an extensive clean -up. At that time, Mrs. <br />Gundeck said she was told by workmen that the repair being made <br />should extend beyond the area of the failure or it would recur. <br />She noted she has now completed a $20,000 remodeling job on her <br />home, with new carpeting and furniture in the family room. Last <br />week, the sewer problem recurred and she had water and sewage back <br />up. Water Works employees came and pumped the basement out and <br />she spent considerable time and expense attempting to clean the <br />area. This week -end the same problem recurred again. She said <br />she contacted Morgan Peck on Sunday and workmen are at the scene <br />today. Mrs. Gundeck noted extensive damage to carpeting and <br />furnishings, some of which are antiques, and a considerable amount <br />of time spent in attempting the clean -up. She said that, as a <br />taxpayer, she should not have to put up with this situation. The <br />problem should be corrected now and the work done completely. <br />She said she was told by one workman that the problem is caused <br />because the sewer is concrete and is failing. Mr. McMahon agreed <br />that Mrs. Gundeck had a valid complaint. He said the City is <br />aware of problems in the area and will have to make a determination <br />as to what kind of permanent repairs need to be made: He recommended <br />that Mrs. Gundeck file a claim with the City for damages to furnishings <br />and for time spent in clean -up. Mrs. Gundeck was advised that the <br />claim should be submitted to the City Attorney's Office. John <br />Stancati, Director of Utilities, was present and said he had discussed <br />the matter with Morgan Peck and was aware that a crew is at the site <br />this morning. Mr. Stancati said he would want to confer with the <br />Department of Public Works regarding appropriate action to resolve <br />the -problem. <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, upon <br />motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, <br />the meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m. <br />atrick M. McMahon <br />ATTEST: <br />Patricia DeC ercq, Clerk <br />ete <br />s <br />en <br />
