RE: Connection to Sanitary Sewer Mainf117910 Olympic View Drive
Dear Mr. Jaeger: \ /
The City of Edmonds has completed the Perrinville Sanitary Sewer project in your neighborhood. This
has brought to our attention that your house is not yet connected to the sewer system that is available to
you.
The Edmonds Community Development Code (Section 18.10.010) requires that the owner(s) of any
house in the City of Edmonds that is within 200 feet of a sewer line must connect to the sewer system
within 60 days of it being available. Your residence is not within 200 feet of the Edmonds line and you
will not be required to connect.
Although we will not require you to connect to the City of Edmonds sewer system, I strongly encourage.
you to contact the City of Lynnwood and request to connect to their sewer main on Olympic View Drive,
as there is a history of septic system failure in the Pen: inville area. Because of this, it may be financially
advantageous to you to connect before your system fails. This would allow you time to obtain multiple
quotes from contractors, instead of being forced into an emergency situation where you may have to hire
the first available contractor. If your septic system fails, you will be required to connect to the sewer
main at that time:
In addition, septic systems create environmental concerns. Septic systems seep into our groundwater, and
in your case, feed into the Perrinville Creek. This affects the habitat (aquatic and land) surrounding the
tributary, which then flows into Puget Sound.
Please don't hesitate to call Pamela Lemcke or me at the City of Edmonds Engineering Division,
425-771-0220, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,,-)
D K. GEBERT, P.E.
City Engineer
