The City has received the notification to issue civil penalties for the SSO's that occurred in the month of
November 2020. Incident numbers 202002958 and 202002959 were due to excessive rain. Starting on
November 9th we had .05 inches of rain. On the 10th we had .28 inches. On the 11th .50 inches. On the
12th we had 2.45 inches fall in a very short period of time. We are in the process of locating the source of
the problem. The City installed I- trackers during rain events to gauge where the infiltration is located.
The Wooten engineering firm was hired to perform the analysis. I have included pictures of the survey
and can send you the results if needed. The total project cost for upgrade was around $1.8 million. We
are trying our best to rectify this situation.
Incident number 202003329 was the result of a retaining wall supporting a small bridge falling on an
exposed sewer line. I have supplied pictures of this as well. The City has contracted Marziano
Engineering to assess the bridge and its structural integrity. The City replaced that section of pipe and
cleaned the site. There was no way to predict this occurrence.
These incidences were not from sources of dereliction. We are working to resolve our inflow and
infiltration issues. The City was also unaware that there was any structural damage to the bridge on N.
Stout. We took care of these incidences in a timely fashion and reported them as required. If you need
any more information, or if there is anything I can do to alleviate this situation please contact me at
336-669-2936. E-mail — [e-mail].
Thank You,
Scott Pyrtle
