Missy Leslie was present at the meeting with concerns
about her sewer backing up in her drains. She can’t wash laundry without it
backing up and gurgling. She said a Utility worker has been out and checked the
manhole, but that showed no problem per the worker. She has had a plumber out
three different times trying to figure out the problem. She wants to know the
location of the clean-out and wants to know the specs of her property. Harry
Wiebe said that the Village does not have any specs for the properties in
Emerald Acres. Dan Workman said it was up the homeowners years ago how they
tapped into the Village sewer lines. They either by-passed sewer tank or hooked
up after sewer tank. Harry will talk to the Utility Department to found out
more information

the meeting to earn a merit badge.
Randy Daeger reported on the Committee of the Whole meeting
from January 26, 2016. The following
items were discussed:
·
Joe Hotz from
Jones & Henry informed the group that Phase 1 of the Combined Sewer
Separation Project was complete and that Phase 2 was expected to be completed
on time this summer. Phase 3 would not have to be completed until
12/31/18. That would give time to decide
if Phase 3 would be needed and also to check on financing.

Joe gave recommendations
on the Back Lot Sewer. This sewer runs from Opossum Run crossing North Drive
between North Williams Street and Cherry Street. Three options were presented. The
option of a combination open cut and replacement and trenchless installation
under North Drive was chosen. This option was chosen so there would be less inconvenience
to the residents. Design work and
specifications will be drawn up to send the project out for bid.
