Cotant, Mayor August 24, 2001 To Mayor and Council of the city of Chubbuck: In the year of 1982 we were to be hooked up to the city sewer system. The sewer line in front of 5201 Lucky is a dead ended line and it only has five and a half feet grading down to nearly six feet at 5319 Lucky. So it was agreed that the city would hook us into the James street line which is near nine feet deep. We were to secure permission from Ron Powers, who lives to our south, to allow the city to dig our lines. This was done. Clark Neeser dug the line, from our sewer connection to our south property line, to a clean out location by evening. The next morning Jordan Stuart came early to dig the line across Powers yard and into James street to be connected. I heard him out digging early so I went out to see if I could help. In doing so I felt he was digging to deep and offered to take the day off work to help make sure it would be graded right. Jordan refused me three times. He said that was the city's responsibility and I was not to worry. If any problems did occur the city would take care of them. So I went to work. Since this was done there has always been a problem. There is a low spot and the sewer backs up. Solids start damming off the sewer line until it is fully blocked. In order to keep it working, at least once a year we have to flush out the system from the lot line to fully clear it. To do this we have to run a line block from the house to keep it from blowing up into the house. This is very inconvenient and we are not getting any younger. This must be done or we are completely plugged. We would ask the city to scope the line, from the lot line out, so that this problem may be corrected by the city. Thank you S. Rex Christens q �,;, / approved by Jordan Stuart
