New business
• Several residents of Freedom Acres Subdivision were present to complain
of sewerage backup in their basements. Mr. Allan Jacobus, W143 57615
Indian Trail, stated the most recent backup occurred on April 2 and
April 3rd and left 30" of sewerage in his basement. He also indicated
he has had several other backups over the last few years. Another
resident complained of the inefficient system and felt that excessive
drainage of Bluhm Park attributed to the problem. The following
temporary solutions were discussed:
1. Additional alarm system indicating when water is rising
beyond the danger point and indicating when auxiliary pumps
should be started.
2. The purchase of an additional pump
3. Authorizing Ruekert & Mielke to do a study advising what they
feel might be needed to solve the problem
4. The installation of a permanent bypass pump
Ald. Klenz moved to have Ruekert & Mielke do a "quick" thorough
evaluation of the area and the northeast plant to determine what steps
are necessary alleviate the problem. The evaluation should take the
above four suggestions into consideration. Seconded by Ald. Dumke.
Motion carried.
Those persons present were also advised by the committee that if
they would contact the building inspection department to inspect their
existing system, the committee would direct them to respond to each
call.
