Resident reports recurring sewer backups; board agrees to cover Roto-Rooter bill
Summary
Resident Beth Patton said she has endured sewer backups since 2016; trustees agreed the village would cover a $712 Roto-Rooter bill if the problem proves to be the village’s responsibility and voted to accept further investigation.
Resident Beth Patton told the board she has experienced sewer backups dating to 2016 and that prior digs did not locate the service line; camera inspections remain inconclusive because the camera goes underwater. Mayor Gregory Rogers told Patton the village would cover a $712 Roto-Rooter bill to "put her mind to rest" if the issue proves to be the village's responsibility and trustees voted to accept that approach.
DPW and STP staff described attempts to locate the line and noted the pipe may be separated; the Sewer Rats contractor has been asked to assist. Patton praised the village crew as "very responsive." The board’s action was recorded as acceptance of the proposed course (no further financial estimate beyond the $712 Roto-Rooter bill was recorded in the minutes).
