ORAL PRESENTATIONS
129237 - Getty/Greenwood
Mayor Hurley explained that a press release was sent out today regarding sewer
backups during heavy rains. Waterloo Code of Ordinance Section 710.0 requires a
backwater valve be installed to prevent sanitary sewer from entering a
residence. A backwater valve should be installed in such a way that it would
only affect fixtures located in the affected portion of the residence. A
plumbing company should be contacted to review what is required for the
residence. The provisions of the code are meant to protect property from sewer
backups from the city sewer main. In addition to footing drains and other
connections to the sanitary system, backups in the city sewer main are caused by
a variety of things. The most notable item to date found in the system was a
UNI football helmet. Tree roots protruding from or around service connections
into the main also have been found. Waste Management Services Department
performs routine maintenance on the sewer system and all sewer mains are cleaned
at least once every five years. If citizens are having repeated backups, they
should have a qualified person inspect the plumbing.
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Six.
Absent: Cole. Mction carried.
