RE: Unauthorized discharge into the City's sanitary sewer system
at 540 Briar Glen
Dear Mr. Hayes:
You may recall that on October 4, 1996, the City provided you with a letter indicating that
smoke testing of your neighborhood revealed an unauthorized inflow from your property to
the City's sewer system. This area has been retested to determine if the problem has been
corrected. The resmoke testing of the area revealed that the downspout by the front door is
still tied to the City's sanitary sewer system. Please be advised that this connection is not
allowed by the City of Coppell.
Previously a copy of the City's Code of Ordinance was provided that specifically points to the
fact that roof drains are not allowed to be connected into the City's sanitary sewer system.
The City has been very patient in allowing you time to correct the unauthorized connection.
Our goal is always to eliminate the problem. The City respectfully requests that the
connection be eliminated as soon as possible. The City also requests that this office be
contacted within fourteen days from the date of this letter to provide a timeline of when the
connection will be removed from the City's sanitary sewer system.
Thank you for your consideration of this request and if you should have any additional
questions please feel free to contact me at (972) 304-3679.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
Director of Engineering and Public Works
