Sanitary Sewer Construction, a copy of which was enclosed with your letter of November 15, indicates that one 36 inch catch basin 'dill be included in this construction. Ina,smuch as the existing storm sewer manhole is located in the sou th parkway" we re commend tha t this catch ~)asin be constructed just south of this existing manhole.. 1J.'his will eliminate the necessity of breaking through the curb. We recommend further the. t the catch basin be equi~ped with a sump having a depth of not less than 1-1/2 feet, so that any silt entering the proposed drain tj.le will no t enter the sewer system. ~...~: In our opinion, the i.mprovements provided in the material transmitted with your letters will be adequate to dispose of storm water acc.wnulating in the blocks described above~ However, if the Village Board sees fi t to guarantee the requests of the interested property owners for the construction of these improvements, we suggest that sa.::Ld approval be rendered on the condi tion tha t the 6 rain tile and proposed catch basin be maintained by the persons benefited by such construction so that the Village will not be faced with maintaining the proposed drai.n tile, which essentially serves private property. ~,.. ,..,- "" ~ ~ ,~,"'" ~'",'-~ In accordance with the request contained in the las paragraph of your letter of November 4, we wish to advise you that an invoice in the amount of ~15.00 should be transmitted to the Village for our services in connection with this approval.
