Dear Ms. Anderson:
During the smoke testing of the city sanitary sewer mains in
your area on May 13, 1982 as described in the handbill
delivered to you address on May 12th, 1982 the following
inadequacies in your plumbing system were the reasons smoke
appeared in your basement:
1. P -trap in floor drain broken and no longer able to maintain seal.
2. Abandoned toilet not properly capped off.'
3. Clean out for building drain not properly sealed.
Sewer gases could enter your building through the same route
taken by the smoke. Sewer gases can be very hazaradous. I
recommend that you or your plumber repair the above as soon as
possible.
A Plumbing Permit and inspection are required by City Ordinance
for any repairs to a buildings plumbing system. If a permit has
not been taken out by May 31, 1982 I will reinspect your home
to determine status for any further' action on the part of the
city.
