TO: .GERALD KONRAD, CITY ENGINEER
FROM: MARVIN HIGLEY, PLUMBING SUPERVISOR
DATE: JUNE 10, 1982
SUBJECT: DAMAGED SEWER LATERAL FOR 2440 HAMILTON ST.
Inspections were made on June 9th and June 10th , accompanied
by Mr. Bill Tollard.
A "U" shaped separation of ABS - 2751 - SDR 23.5 sewer pipe
was observed about 15 inches west of the water main. The
"U" had about a five inch spread between cracks. It appears
that a tooth of a bucket scooping south to north came in
contact with the pipe. The sewer lateral is also pitched in
the wrong direction from the break to an 1/8 bend, a distance
of about~ eight feet. The pipe from the 1/8 bend is pitching
in the right direction.
Mr. Kienast (Utility Contractor) stated he did not damage the
pipe and he was not going to fix it. It is in the hands of
his insurance company and his attorney. Mr. Kienast cut out
the broken section of pipe and has it in his possession.
I told Mr. Kienast to cap the cut sewer pipe so mud and water
could not enter.
Me Klescewski (plumber). stated he did not damage the pipe and
installed from the hub on 1/8 bend to the house. His pipe is
installed correct and is not pitched the wrong way.
I told them that the City of Oshkosh will not judge who did it,
and the city will not approve the main or lateral until it is
correct.
