Dada and I bought my mother's home on Eighth Street two years ago. Our kids .;' are grown so it's basically the two of us in the home. The week before Chr stma~ We had our children and grandchildren who live out of'town staying with us; On Friday morning December 21, we were doing laundry, and kiS~"were t~ing showers and baths. Water began to back up through the washer drainage pipe and flood' the basement. :We called Stemler's who had a crew come out Saturday morning with a "snake" to solve the problem. They tried with no results. They · called the city and Joe Henley came out to do something, but again, no results. We called Rolo-Rooter who bought a crew out Monday morning, Christmas Eve. Rolo-Rooter could not dear the pipe. They ran a TV monitor through th~ pipe that indicated the problem led to the middle of Eighth Street. Brian Dixon came to the scene and Rolo-Rooter was given permission to dig into the street. With a backhoe they dug down to the pipe but they could not correct the problem. According to Rolo-Rooter, when the city lined the sewer, our house was not connected. The next day, Christmas, my family of twenty was here but we did not use the showers, laundry, etc. Mr. Dixon and a crew came back Wednesday, December 26, repaired the damaged pipe, filled in the large hole. and repaved the street. I presumed the city would'be back to so,ye the problem. They didn't and we continued to have flooding· The following week, I called Mr. Dixon who did a "clean out" and our problems appear to be .resolved. We had private work performed in good faith but the problem came from the center of the street sewer system. Attached please find bills from Stemler and Roto-Rooter totaling $2,954.42. The payment of these bills and landscaping of our torn UP front yard wilt not cover the stress and inconvenience to my family for two weeks during the Holidays. Mayor Tom, you know me to be a reasonable and active citizen. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, " Ronald D.
