• After reviewing the infiltration problems in the northwest district
with the Consulting Engineers and Building Inspector Lee which indicated
that there could be a large number of illegal uses of the sanitary
sewers for storm water drainage, it was the decision of the committee
that a letter be sent to all users of the sanitary sewers advising them
of the provisions of the Municipal Code which prohibits the use of
sanitary sewers for storm water drainage. The letter is to be drafted
by Mayor Gottfried for their review.
The Public Sewer Committee also determined that continued review by
the Public Works Committee on potential infiltration through manholes
will be continued and that a house to house check of all sewer connections
will be made after the above letter has been mailed.
Ald. Knudsen advised that the roads in Hi-Y Ranches were in a deplorable
condition as a result of sewer construction. It was the decision of the
committee to advise Super Excavators that the necessary repairs shall be
made and that a base coat of asphalt must be applied this fall.
Ald. Knudsen moved to authorize the letting of bids for the forced hook-up
on the John Kelley property. Seconded by Ald. Dumke, motion carried.
•Since the joint meeting between the City of New Berlin and the City of
Muskego Sewer Committee had to be cancelled because of scheduled conflicts
it was determined that a future meeting will be scheduled as quickly as
possible.
Ald. Knudsen moved to adjourn, seconded by Ald. Dumke. The meeting
