In addition, the issues below must also be addressed:
Compliance Issue(s):
There is an area surrounding a sewer manhole located along David Drive that has sunk below the road surface. The
condition of this manhole and assodated pipingmust be inspected to verify its structural integrity. This was in the
1/24/2018 inspection report and this is still an issue.
Near the intersection of David Drive and Planet Court there appears to be a water leak in the road. Division staff
showed Envirolink maintenance staff the area.
Our office stopped at 186 Ivon Drive due to a complaint that the area smelled like sewage. During our site visit we
saw what appears to be sewage under the home and next to the front covered porch.
