March 29, 2009 <br />Craig Klausing, Mayor <br />Amy Ihlan, Councilperson-at-large <br />Jeff Johnson, Councilperson-at-large <br />Tammy Pust, Councilperson-at-large <br />Dan Roe, Councilperson-at-large <br />citycouncilCci.roseville mn us <br />Deb Bloom, Engineer, City of Roseville <br />deb.bloomC~ci.roseville.mn us <br />Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director, City of Roseville <br />duaneschwartz@ci.roseville.mn.us <br />Will Rossbach, Commissioner, Suburban Representative <br />St. Paul Regional Water Services <br />will.rosbach@ci maplewood mn us <br />Dear City and Water District Officials, <br />I'm revisiting the issue of the freezing of the sanitary sewer line at the street in <br />front of my home in February 2007, during "unusual and lengthy sub-zero temperatures" <br />and the subsequent backup into my basement causing $4,650.60 in damages, repair, and <br />personal property loss, all of which I paid for out of pocket; plus the inconvenience of not <br />having the ability to use the toilet, shower, ar dishwasher in my home for a full weeks <br />time. The major expense was the repair to the line on the city/countylwater district side, <br />and in effect cost me much more because I was unable to pay for the services directly, <br />and had to put it an a credit card and pay interest in addition to the principle aver a year's <br />time. When I contacted the city in 2007 I was told it was a county issue, who told me it <br />was a water district issue, who told me it wasn't their issue, and there was nothing that <br />could be done. (In a phone conversation today with RaTnsey County I was assured that <br />the county has no governance with regard to the water system within the Roseville city <br />limits.) <br />In the winter of 2008 nothing happened and it seemed the problem was resolved, <br />which was good because I was still paying the bill from 2007. The expenses incurred in <br />that instance combined with the crumbling state of the economy axxl the fact that I had a <br />`bad' mortgage, which I spent a great deal of the last year getting modified, put me in <br />near financial disaster (including the inability to pay my property taxes in full for the <br />second half of 2008), when it happened again the recently passed winter. February 2009 <br />was extremely cold with little snow cover and the sewer under the road in front of my <br />house froze again, this time costing me $933.20 in thawing charges. I did all the clean up <br />myself this time because I could not afford to bring someone in, all-in-all not a pleasant <br />or easy thing forme. <br />Adding to the inconvenience of this happening twice forcing me to leave my <br />house to find bathroom facilities during the coldest and iciest time of the year, I believe it <br />worth bringing to everyone's attention that I'msemi-handicapped and unable to drive in <br />the dark, and live alone on a very fixed income. I've been in this house since the fall of <br />2003, spent a great deal of money making it accessible so I could live here independently <br />
