Description

I'm a homeowner at 9713 SE41st, but this request is not about a blockage at this time, but for sewer connection information on the house(s) behind us on the 9700 block of Mercerwood Dr., specifically 9724 Mercerwood (Ross residence). We need to find out whether or not we share a side sewer with the home behind us, but the sewer utility map does not indicate the houses behind us are connected to the main sewer line. We simply wish for an update to the map to provide that information. We undertook a very costly repair/reline in Jan-Feb 2021, but we (& contractor) did not know we might share side-sewer line with neighbor behind until 10' excavation & job was already well underway. Had we had that information on-hand, we might have been able to decide on possible options. Simply put, is the house at 9724 Mercerwood connected to a main on Mercerwood, or to the main on SE41st? I believe this information would not only be pertinent to us, but to our neighbors on SE41st as well. So we request the City to do what's needed to conclusively determine the stub line connections to main & update the sewer map info. Thank you for your attention & please let us know the status of our request. Thanks. Mark & Akemi Meyer 9713 SE 41st St (206)232-7866 3dotstudio.com@gmail.com
