Samboni 421 Smith Street Seattle, WA 98109 RE: PROBLEMS WITH VENTING OF YOUR PLUMBING FIXTURES . AT 21916 80TH AVENUE WEST IN EDMONDS Dear Mr. Samboni: LAURA M. HALL MAYOR The City's sewer cleaning records show that the home at this address is experiencing problems with the venting of some of your plumbing fixtures when the City crew is conducting cleaning operations of the City sewer line in front of this address. The Ci ty's cl eani.ng operation is essential for both you and your neighbors. It cleans debris in lines to prevent plugs, prevents corrosion and potential future collapse, and achieves a better flow characteristic in the public sewer lines. We need to do this often -- perhaps even 3 times a year -- in some critical areas. T ' he City's cleaning operation typically' involves the utilization of a high pressure water jet. The problem which occurs at the home is the result of a high pressure surge through your internal plumbing system. A properly constructed plumbing system is designed to easily vent this additional pressure without any visible impact at your residence. An undersized venting pipe - (or not having enough vents) cannot handle the pressure I surge, and the only release that's available is then through your toilet (or another fixture). The Uniform Plumbing Code 'typically requires a 2" vent, and further requires a separate vent for each plumbing fixture which is connected to the sewer (a tdilet, a sink, a shower). Your home may not have an adequate venting* system (you either have a 1-1/4" vent, or not enough of them), and you therefore may continue to experience the pressure surges or you may be experiencing a plugged vent. The City does not have a'choice as far as discharging its responsibility in cleaning the public sewer line.. It is therefore up, to you to take corrective measures as to howto improve your own venting system. The City has come up with two options that will remedy your problem: Option 1: Upgrade,stack ven'ts for toilets'and other fixtures which are experiencing problems to required sizes. e Incorporated August 11, 1890 0 Sister Citie's International — Hekinan, Japan PS Form 3800, June 1985 *U.S.G.P.0. 1989-234-555 -0 0 0 3 --1 0 (D C) )i (D C 0 CL ID >0 C, M. 1�'R (D 6731 * =r � 0 3 3 wo 0.
