Home My WebLink AboutSmith Street (13) r t May 8, 1985 Mr. Robert Deptula ' Health Department Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 ' Re: EDB Contamination �AAc 1 South Windsor, CT Dear Mr. Deptula: Following up our letter of March 28, 1985, we have prepared the enclosed preliminary cost estimate for the work required to serve the EDB contaminated houses on Smith Street in South Windsor. We have included estimates of 15% rock excavation and 10% unsuitable excavation and replacement with gravel backfill. Actual job costs would reflect actual field conditions. We have also included in this estimate the cost of running five 1-inch services from the water main to the curb. The cost associated with running those 1-inch services from the curb to the houses are not included. We have included one half of the estimated cost of the meter pit necessary at the Manchester town line. The Connecticut Water Company's participation is the other half of the meter pit's costs. We have had discussions with Manchester Water officials regarding this proposal. If you wish to proceed, we will need to enter into an Agreement with Manchester. Then we can prepare detailed final estimates and plans. Sincerely yours, Kenneth W. Kells Vice President - Design &Construction PFB/cic Enclosures cc: R. Young, Manchester Water w/enc. W.C.

Young Director of Public Works Re: #383 Smith Street - Gancarz Property The following repot is in reply to -your memorandum of June 8, 1977. Mrs. Gancarz was visited by this inspector on Wednesday, June 1, 1977. Prior to this date, several unsuccessful attempts had been made to contact the owner. On June 1, it was pointed out to Mrs . Gancarz that the existing septic system was presently over-flowing and running westerly onto the property at #377 Smith Street. I pointed out that the existing situation was in violation of the State Health Code (namely, Section 19-13B 20b (b. ) and (f. ) . Mrs. Gancarz was also advised that a licensed installer should be retained to make recommendations and repairs to the present system, as needed. There are no records pertaining specifically to #383 Smith Street, but the records we do have on hand show that the soil in this area is sand and/or sandy gravel--which is certainly capable of handling underground septic systems. Mrs. Gancarz insisted that the soil make-up was clay, and nothing would change the system for the better. In fact, even though Mrs. Gancarz was amiable, she had a very negative attitude toward the Town in general--in regard to the lack of sanitary sewers and storm water run-off. She also asked that the Town guarantee any repair work done to the existing system, and I informed her no such guarantee would be forthcoming. According to other engineering personnel, there is no ground water, as such, only that heavy run-off in Spring, or from freshets do build up in yard #367 and in the culvert area crossing the road in this vicinity. Memorandum gage 2 June 9, 1977 I recommend the following 1. A letter ordering remedial action on the part of Mr. & Mrs. Gancarz in regards to the septic system- with a possible deadline of July 1, 1977. 2. Any installer they retain proceed first with a percolation test, so that soil make-up and ground water can be ascertained. Apparently, this septic problem has been one of a lingering nature, and from visual inspection, the trouble seems to be at the end of the field. In any event, my personal opinion is that the Town should not make recommendations in regards to the system, but that a reputable installer do so. Also, I recommend that a field study be made by the Town 's engineering department of the storm water drainage. Some of the storm water problem could be alleviated by the installa- tion of some curbing on the south wide of Smith Street; and a catch basin opposite house #367, and piping to the culvert to the west. Due to the steep grade starting 60 '± west of Buckland Road, storm water flows westerly, and heavy rains do take some run-off into the yard at ##383, mainly due to house and driveway being lower than the road grade. There is an open-end storm drain that empties into the field on _ the north side of Smith Street. This condition, perhaps, should be looked into; although apparently there are no adverse reactions from owner. Frank Messenger Inspector FM:prb V MEMORANDUM June 21, 1977 To: Allan S. Young worksDirector of Public Re: #383 Smith Street Gancarz Property Pursuant to your memorandum of June 9, 1977, I submit the following comments. The above-mentioned lot does take some of the street runoff during rainstorms; and, as Frank has suggested, curbing and a driveway lip would solve this problem. However, the runoff would then run onto the next lot. Storm drainage has been designed for this section of Smith Street and it has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. With the addition of another cross lateral and set of basins, this problem and others along this section of Smith Street will be alleviated. It was planned to install 521 linear feet of 18" concrete pipe under the alternate proposals for the 1976/1977 fiscal year. Funds were not available, and the project has not gone forward. I suggest that we fund the purchase of materials through the State Aid to Municipalities, and install the drainage with - Town forces in the Fall--after the crops on the adjacent land have been harvested.
