RE:
Dear Ms. Houshidar:
The City of Edmonds has completed the Perrinville Sanitary Sewer project in your neighborhood. This
has brought to our attention that your residence 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 within 200 feet of the Edmonds line, but you will
not be required to connect because it would be necessary to either acquire an easement across private
property, install a grinder pump if the fall for a gravity system is not sufficient, or install a side sewer of
significant length in the City of Lynnwood right-of-way.
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 Perrinville 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,
DAVID K. GEBERT, P.E.
City Engineer

All,
When residents come for these permits the costs will be:
The approximate special connection fee is $4,100. The City will determine the actual costs when they are
tabulated from the OVD contractor. Make sure you put this in writing somewhere on the permit. In addition please
get a $730 Sewer Main Connection and $35 Review Fee as well as typical inspection fees.
All side sewers along OVD will be required to install a backwater valve at the cleanout on the private side of the
property. This particular run of homes is connected to the Lynnwood trunk line.
Make sure the septic tank is abated correctly (break them, don't just fill in) and that Snohomish Health is
contacted when the tank is abated.
Let Denise know down stairs so she can change her records and charge accordingly.
Sheri Houshidar of 7101 will be in shortly for the permit.
Thanks
