Resident proposes neighbor-tied drainage tile project; council to contact affected households
Summary
Justin Young told the council he plans to install drainage tile running through neighboring backyards to carry water to the city alley and offered to do the work at residents' expense; the clerk will notify affected homeowners to gauge interest.
Resident Justin Young told the council he has drainage problems at his home between 2nd Avenue and Butler Street and proposed installing tile that could run through adjacent backyards into the city alley.
Young said he has a trencher available and offered to do the work; he said supplies would be at the residents’ expense and that he would work with neighbors who agree to tie in. Council directed the clerk to send letters to affected residents to determine interest. The council noted alternate options may be explored if neighbors do not support the plan.
No formal council action was taken beyond instructing staff to contact affected residents.
