Gerald, FYI, we had a few sewer issues today that may take some time to sovle.

First, running the storm line from the bioswale toward Meadowlawn, at about 100ft we pulled back and found this (image attached), in addition to significant root balls. We are hoping to TV soon as requested, but the storm lines are still fairly surcharged. More info to follow.

Second, while cleaning the Police Dept’s sewer clog today we found the real issue was out in the mainline under the City Hall Parking Lot: rocks and soil (image attached). This is Manhole TL_D_15. The historical video of this line is a bit confusing, they come to the “end of pipe” after just 85 ft on the camera, but we ran it 135 ft this afternoon. We will need to do more work here also to identify the problem, this line serves two restaurants and two hair salons, in addition to the PD. As far as we can tell, everything is flowing as of this afternoon. We are taking the spoils to dry at the eco-block cells at the WWTP.

Respectfully,
