Dayton council reports clogged sewer, says contractor found fiber‑optic work had breached pipe
Summary
Council President Marc Buhrmester reported a clogged town sewer line attributed to flushable wipes; a contractor found fiber‑optic work installed by Mulberry had drilled into sewer lines, cleared the clog and contacted Mulberry, but no formal action was recorded.
Council President Marc Buhrmester reported at the Jan. 21, 2025, meeting that a town sewer drain on town property became clogged after apparent flushing of wipes. He said a contractor investigating the problem discovered that fiber‑optic cable work Mulberry had installed had drilled into the town’s sewer lines. The contractor jetted the lines, ran a camera to locate the damage, cleared the clog and contacted Mulberry, according to the minutes.
The minutes record the discovery as a council comment; there was no recorded motion, vote or formal direction to staff during this meeting to pursue repairs, a claim for damages, or further investigation. The minutes do not record any statement from Mulberry or from the contractor about next steps or responsibility.
The board adjourned after the report. The minutes identify the contractor’s response as clearing the immediate clog and contacting Mulberry; the town’s next procedural steps, any repair schedule, and any potential costs were not specified in the meeting record.
