City to install grinder pump, pay $4,900 toward damage after sewer backups at 805 Simmons Street
Summary
Mayor Bell reported repeated sewer backups into a low-lying home at 805 Simmons Street; the city will install a private grinder pump (~$2,500) and pay $4,900 toward damages to prevent future flooding for that property.
Mayor Terry F. Bell reported multiple sewer backups into the home of Mr. Welch at 805 Simmons Street and told the board the house sits lower than the end-of-line pump station. To prevent further incidents, the city will install a private grinder pump (approximately $2,500) on the property and agreed to contribute $4,900 toward damages caused by the backups.
Bell explained the home is at the end of a pump station that serves multiple stations and because the house is lower than the station the backups have occurred when system problems arise. The board authorized the pump installation and the damage payment as a remedial measure for this specific property.
