Colton approves reimbursement for sewer backup and awards annual sewer‑cleaning quote
Summary
After reviewing a citizen complaint about a sewer‑main blockage that caused a house backup, Colton approved homeowner reimbursement and accepted an annual sewer‑line cleaning quote from Roto‑Rooter; both measures passed unanimously.
The council approved reimbursement for plumbing expenses after a homeowner reported a sewer backup caused by a blocked sewer main. At the March 9 meeting, Councilor Larry Vande Voort moved to reimburse the homeowner's incurred plumbing costs; Councilor Matt Wochnick seconded and the motion passed with all members voting aye.
Public Works Superintendent Jerrit Pedersen also presented a quote from Roto‑Rooter for the city's annual sewer‑line cleaning. Council approved the Roto‑Rooter quote (motion by Julie Lyon, seconded by Matt Wochnick). The minutes record the approved annual cleaning quote and the recorded unit price included in the packet.
Council directed staff to proceed with vendor scheduling and noted the reimbursement is a one‑time resolution for the affected homeowner; broader system maintenance will be addressed through the ongoing annual cleaning contract.
