Extenslve dlscussion fol owed regarding the sewer back-up in the
Fairmeadows neighborhood with several recommendations being made by
Consulting Engineer Moore which would alleviate the problem. After
televising the sewers, it was noted there is an extensive root problem.

entering through service connections is still a problem that needs to be
