Homeowners to pay for scoping of a suspected blocked 170-foot drainage pipe in 1st/2nd Street area
Summary
City Operator Bobby Archer advised the Council that a blocked 170-foot private drainage pipe may be causing stormwater accumulation in the 1st and 2nd Street area; homeowner Adam Kennedy said residents would pay for scoping/clearing and secure property permissions.
City Operator Bobby Archer reported attempts to mitigate stormwater accumulation in the 1st and 2nd Street area, saying the issue appears to be on private property and outside City jurisdiction. Archer suggested the line be scoped and cleared by a professional, noting a possible blockage in a 170-foot drainage pipe.
Adam Kennedy, a Westfir homeowner present at the meeting, said he and other homeowners would cover the cost of the scoping service and would obtain homeowner permission for access because the affected line runs on private property. Archer said he had assisted homeowners in trying to discover the source of the problem but recommended a professional contractor for the scope and clearing.
