Sunman staff to jet, camera and GPS downtown sewer before pursuing easement
Summary
Meeting participants agreed to clear a grease blockage, re-run camera inspections, GPS and mark manholes and then prepare recorded notice to property owners so the town can document continuous use before considering a prescriptive easement.
Town staff and committee members agreed on immediate technical tasks to confirm the ownership and use of a disputed sewer run behind downtown buildings. Staff recommended using a jetter to clear a grease blockage, re-running the camera inspection to identify all taps and laterals, and GPSing the manholes and inlet points so the town has precise coordinates and documented footage.
A staff member described the work plan: “First order of business would be to go get the jetter. Jet everything out, run the camera again, mark the record it. Mark the... GPS those with your inventory management tool.” Committee members said the record from the camera and GPS coordinates would be necessary to prepare a legal description and to notify property owners in writing about the town’s intent to document the line. The meeting assigned follow-up tasks for staff to carry out the inspections and report back; no final easement or legal filing was recorded during this session.
