Resident thanks council after city commits to sewer inspections and line flushing on Georgia Avenue
Summary
After repeated sewer backups, resident Michael O'Donnell thanked the council for adding Georgia Avenue to weekly inspections, committing to a full flush south of Beach Street to Park Avenue, and reviewing grease-trap maintenance for nearby restaurants.
Resident Michael O'Donnell told the council he appreciated follow-up after repeated sewer backups on Georgia Avenue that had caused sewage to enter homes. He said he was told the city would take the following steps by direction of the city manager: add Georgia Avenue to weekly inspections, conduct a full flush of the sewer line south of Beach Street to Park Avenue, and review grease-trap maintenance schedules for nearby restaurants.
O'Donnell urged continued follow-through so the recurring backups stop. City staff and council expressed appreciation for the resident's persistence and said they planned to continue the inspections and flushing program. "The sewer department has added Georgia Avenue to the streets it inspects weekly to ensure proper flow," the city reported during the meeting.
