Po.sc all :
This will answer the fi rst part of your letter of February 22nd
rega _ding the condition of the sewer reported by Mrs . Nannie McCormick
of 1 l:-3 Oakmont Drive, N. W.
1-it's . 1cCormick is a schoo 1 teacher and v."e have had some trouble
COi.1tacting he ; however, our Mr . Ken Lanca s ter has contacted Mrs .
~1cCo_o·· ck concerning the sewer odor and inefficie ncy of sewers in the
mldo D~ ive and Argyle Drive area of Lincoln Homes . We believe the
silt d posits that have accumulated in these lines i s the trouble
and we have instructed our construction super intendent to flush and
drag t.ese lines . After the completion of this work, i f the sewers
are stil operating inefficiently , we will initiate a program of
s udy to determine what is necessary to allev iate the sanitary sewer
pro l c~s in this area.
In response to the statement by Mrs . McCormick concerning the
drowning of a child in Proctor Creek last year, I would like to bring
it to t he ir a ttention with your Community Relations Commission that
t':ie property owners in this area are responsible for fencing the
czeck in the ir back yard, as most of the property runs to the center
of the creek and is the responsibility of the abutting property owncar
it would be up to them for the safety of their children and for
t .eir neighbors children in connection with the flooding of Proctor
Creek in heavy rains that they fence their backyards to protect the
children . This is not a responsibility nor a function of any
govern:nental agency.

Yours truly ,
