·Discuss Elmira/Burlington Sanitary Sewer System

Fulton County Sanitary Engineer, Ziad Musallam, was present for the discussion.  The Board was presented with a letter that was written by Mr. Musallam to Lingvai Excavating, the contractor for the Elmira/Burlington Sanitary Sewer Project.  Said letter indicated to the contractor of findings of defective work resulting in an infiltrated system.  Mr. Musallam stated that an excessive amount of clean water coming into the pump station was noticed.  It was determined that a sewer plug on an outlet was pushed in and needs to be corrected by the contractor.  The leak is causing an increase in rates and is currently being paid for by the system.  The contractor did do some temporary work and has proposed a plan for a permanent fix.  It was noted that any expenses will be covered by the contract under warranty which will include any increases in the sewer bill incurred.

·Discuss Sanitary Sewer Petition for Schmucker Property in Pettisville

 

Resolution 2007-1104
