On June 27, 1973 Kyle Cherry and I investigated a complaint concerning a non-functioning septic system, causing sewage ~o flow in~o a ditch adjacent to Ptarmigan Court in the ~ldoon area. The septic system was located at the residence of Dr. William Reinbold, 2615 Seclusion Drive. The effluent flowing into the ditch adjacent to the Doctor's residence had the color and odor of sewage. Two samples of the effluent ~ere taken at that time, and photographs of the area were also taken. Dr. Reinbold was contacted by ~. Cherry. The problem was explained to him and he gave his permission to dye the sewer, system.. at his residence. On the evening of July 2, 1973, Kyle Cherry and I returned to the Reinbold residence and dyed the sewage system with a r~d dye. The dye was put into the upst~irstoilet. We returned on July 5th and found some of the dye had appeared in the ditch with the effluent. We took pictures to show the color change in the effluent. On July 6, 1973 I returned to the Doctor's residence. The dye in the effluent was more evident than on the 5th. I took additional pictures of the effluent ditch. During that afternoon I surveyed Dr. Reinbold's neighbors. Of the 13 houses in. 'the near vicinity, 7 had residents at home. Attached is a copy of the questions asked and the individual answers. Generally the results showed the older houses (the oldest was built in 1964) had most of the problems with the sewage systems. The systems generally were septic tanks and cesspool combinations. Z~¢o houses had to have their systems pumped once a month while a third had to pump weekly. Each person I' interviewed expressed a very strorgand favorable opinion about the need for the Borough Sewer System in the neighborhood. The residents said that the Borough had promised the sewer over the past two years, but had failed to date to connect them into the system. Continued neglect by the Borough Sewage department will only increase the health hazzards to the neighborhood. 'On July 9, 1973 Dr. Reinbold called this office to inquire about the dye .test. I explained to him that the dye had indicated the effluent was from his system. The Dr. Felt his expenditures within the last six months of $800.00 to put ina new septic system should be considered "his share". From his dis- cription the new system may be causing more problems than his old one. He said the new system was 30 Ft. into the ground. This would put it into the water table.

"Butch" !,!est, Director Public Works Department Director '. ,[~ Petition for Sewers, Hideaway Hills Subdivision Attached is a copy of the plat for the subject subdivision and a copy of a petition submitted by the residents of the subdivision. It is my under- standing that the petition represents 100% of the occupied parcels as indicated on the plat. There are some continual sewage overflow problems in this subdivision and many of the residents are contineally required to use cesspool pumpers to maintain their on-site waste disposal systems. They have indicated a very strong desire for sewers. There has even been some discussion of installing a lateral system and financing the pumping of one large holding tank 'until public sewers are available to the Sub- division. In response to their petition, these people would like to know how soon sewers can be made available to them and if they cannot be made available during 1973 construction season, what, if any, alternatives are available to their present costly on-site waste disposal systems. If you wish to reply directly to them, you could do so through Dr. William B. Reinhold of Lot 1, Block 2~ Hideaway Hills Subdivision. If not, I will refer any information that you provide to the homeowners involved. They have indicated a desire to have some sort of an answer within the next week or SO, rn encs. l:r~P~h 'i0.. 1973 the OPoa%er Anchora{{e Area Borou~l'n ~rovi.de sewaTe A~aci!itios for ou? division: Fi,'. and ......
