Resident questions whether village or homeowner must fix misaligned sewer connection on Progress Street
Summary
Brian Koppenhaufer told trustees the misaligned sewer connection that causes backups "runs under the road," prompting Trustee Bowers to ask where village responsibility begins; Attorney Brunton said he will research the ordinance to determine responsibility.
A sewer connection issue on Progress Street prompted questions about maintenance responsibility. Trustee Bowers raised a question relayed from resident Jason Jones about where the Village's responsibility begins and ends regarding sewer access after a misaligned connection caused backups.
Homeowner Brian Koppenhaufer said the problem "runs under the road," which led him to ask whether the Village would be responsible to remedy it. Attorney Brunton told the trustees he would need to research the ordinance to determine whether the homeowner or the Village is responsible, leaving the question unresolved at the meeting.
Trustees did not vote or direct immediate corrective action; the attorney's review will determine whether staff can schedule repairs or whether the homeowner must make corrections.
