Summary

A reported sewer backup at 504 West Main Street prompted commissioners to ask staff to forward the issue to the village manager and DPW director for assessment and potential inclusion in the CIP or immediate maintenance work.

During review of the capital improvement plan, a commissioner reported an active sewer backup at 504 West Main Street that is causing water to back up into a residence. Commissioners said the situation could pose significant health and property risks and asked staff to add the issue as a consideration and to forward the complaint and any recommended response or budget implications to the village manager and DPW director.

Planning staff said they lacked the specific repair numbers and would not be able to resolve the technical issue in the meeting but would ensure the manager and DPW director review the location and determine whether it should be handled as preventive maintenance or included in the next CIP cycle. Commissioners emphasized timely follow-up to avoid continued damage to the resident’s home.

The commission did not make a formal motion on the record but instructed staff to pass the concern to administration and DPW for evaluation.
