Resident urges city action after sewer backup near William Street
Summary
Resident Glenn Becker described a July sewer backup that reached five feet from his house and asked the city to pursue maintenance; the mayor directed him to speak with Public Works Director Casey Bronke for follow-up after the meeting.
Glenn Becker, a resident on William Street, told the council he experienced a sewer/stormwater backup on July 9–10 that nearly reached his home and asked the city to investigate and perform maintenance. "Because that was backed up and came 5 feet from getting into my house, I knew something was different and something was wrong," Becker said, describing sediment and a blocked ditch that carries runoff from the hill above his property.
The mayor directed Becker to speak with Casey Bronke, head of Public Works, after the meeting so staff could review the site and coordinate necessary cleaning or repairs. Becker said he had already contacted Alliance (the city's water/sewer provider), which had sent staff but that the superintendent had not followed up; he asked the city to press Alliance and public-works staff for action.
