Dear Sir:
[lease accept my apology for not appearing at the July 21
Sewer Committee Meeting, and kindly convey the same to the
other Committee members. My absence was not due to lack of
concern, but to a rather nasty case of the flu. Up until
the last minute, I did intend to appear. By the time I
realized that would be impossible, I had no way of contacting
you.
I have already expressed concern over the diesel fumes that
• enter our home when the sewer lift station engine runs on
Thursday mornings. During the summer, when windows are open
and the prevailing winds are from the west, our house fills
with enough exhaust to cause headache and nausea. This is
especially annoying in view of the statements given to me by
then Mayor Gottfried and then Alderman Salentine before the
lift -station was installed that there would be no noise' and
no odor.
Prior to this year, I was away most of the days that the diesel
engine ran. My employment schedule has changed, and I have be-
come aware of some of the ramifications of this situation. If
there was a power cut off of several days, or even hours during
a summer storm, our house would not be fit to live in. If it
werelto happen during the night while we were sleeping, I feel
we might be made seriously ill. I shudder to think of what
this might mean to an elderly or an infant guest in our home.
I do believe that if the air quality of our home had been test-
ed on certain days this summer, that the results would have
been very negative. Since metro sewer connection seems to be
in the near future, and more of these engines may be installed,
I feel the matter is worth consideration. I doubt very much
that the city or it's engineers wish to be responsible for ill-
ness. I trust this matter may be resolved in the very near
future. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Vary Ann Brunner
