Dear Resident:
The City of Coppell has taken over the operations and maintenance of the
sanitary sewer lift station located in your subdivision as of April 25,
1994. Staff is aware of the odor problem at the lift station, and has
attempted to alleviate the problem by taking the following steps:
- Enzymes and a degreaser/deodorizer have been added upstream of the
lift stations to help degrease upstream flows.
- Water Utilities has purchased new washing equipment to wash the
dry/wet wells with chlorine to kill the bacteria that causes odors.
This treatment is performed a minimum of three times per week.
- Screenings (large material caught by a bar screen, such as pieces of
paper, items that can be flushed in a toilet) are bagged and hauled
to a location away from the subdivision. You may notice some
temporary odor when this procedure is being performed.
- The area at the lift station that generated the odor has been
totally covered and forced ventilation has been added along with
large deodorizing blocks to deodorize the air being ventilated
outside.
Public Works is taking every step possible to take care of the odor
problem at this lift station. Staff believes that the odor problem will
be greatly reduced by the end of October 1994 by the changes that are
being made at this facility. If you notice there is still a problem,
please notify Howard L. Pafford, Utilities Superintendent, at (214) 462-
8495. Staff will continue to work on this dilemma until a solution is
found or the problem is reduced to an acceptable level.
T~ank you for Y~Aur patience, understanding, and cooperation.
S!~cerely~ ~, ~ ~_ ,~
Ho~.dL. Pafford
Utilities Superinterk~nt
