In response to the Notice of Violations NOV-2022-LV-0286 and NOV-2022-LV-0287, dated April 27,2022
and May 2. 2022 respectively, via Certified Mail sent May 6, 2022 1 tender this response. I discussed this
matter With our Toun's Mayor James M. Flux and will discuss the NOV's at our next Town Board meetin-
The Town of'Jackson has experienced Infiltration and Inflow (1&1), since before 1 became ORC here in
Jackson in 2000. Over that time we have had grants awarded our Town to improve our sewer system for
Slip -Lining over 7000 tees of sewer lines and rehabilitation of 35 manholes in our system,(2007). We have
applied for other monies to continue more rehabilitation but our Low to Moderate Income (LM 1) is to high.
thus being denied grant funding. The Town employees have performed maintenance to our systems with
moderate repairs as needed when situations arose to cause us to do so. l,he Town has entered into a
contractual agreement with L rigineering Services with Todd Steele being our new Town Engineer. We arc
pursuing with Mr. Steele's guidance, monies that the ll-S Government has available to aid in sewer
infrastructure repair and rehabilitation. Also with the help of Rural Water Association (Dwight Lancaster),
we have recently in April, smoked tested our sewer system and marked problem areas to address when we
acquire these monies. This activity has also been beneficial in checking previously performed repairs and
addition as well as the 2007 Grant project.
The town will diligently continue to work toward improving our sewer system and infrastructure.
['hank you fbr ) our time and consideration.
Sincerely.
Johnny G. Young, ORC
