Hi Margaret,
We received the following response from the property owner regarding your code compliance request:
Yes, 1 did have a water line break under my house. It was brought to my attention via the water company. The
water company just told me to fix it but did not mention anything about needing to get a permit. So yes-I did
have water pumped out from under the house but, it was not sewage. There was not standing water creating a
breeding ground for insects and/or rodents. I was under the impression that clear water run off was acceptable
to drain it into the storm water system.
As far as my sewer line is concerned I was having to snake out tree roots. I had my son dig around the pipe to
remove any roots and confirm that I did NOT have a break in my sewer line. The roots are creeping in via the pipe
connecters. I wasn't aware that checking your pipes required a permit. I have not dumped any chemicals,
solvents, or fluids other than clear water from under my home, or when we partially drain and clean our fish
pond into our garden beds.Am I not allowed to use my pond water to fertilize my roses?
I bought this house in 1993 with the stove already there—what control over that do I have?
I have gotten permits in the past for any electrical and/or mechanical work when needed.
As far as vehicles, we own them and they all run. Slashed tires is the only thing wrong with them.
Please provide supporting information, details and photos which demonstrate lack of compliance at the reported
property.
If you have any questions, please call me at 503-718-2581.
Thank you for your assistance,
Ken
