Staff: recurring fire-station flooding linked to incorrectly sized pipe
Summary
Staff reported recurring flooding at a fire station and said a contractor installed a 6-inch pipe into an 8-inch line instead of matching 8-to-8, and that they are working to 'rectify' the sewer line and remove roof trays at the rear.
When asked if he had anything further, a staff member described repeated flooding at a fire station and attributed the problem to an installation issue. The staff member said, "It keeps flooding," and described contractor work where "they shoved a 6 inch pipe into an 8 inch" instead of matching an 8-to-8 connection; staff said they are working to remove roof trays at the rear and to rectify the sewer-line configuration.
The chair noted this flooding had occurred multiple times in the recent past, asking, "So that's the 3rd time now it's flooded in about 2 weeks?" Staff confirmed they were working with the contractor to fix the configuration. The meeting record does not show a formal directive or a timeline beyond staff's statement that they are attempting to rectify the situation.
