The City Attorney informed the Council that the City is
liable when it is awore of a problem and fails to take
steps to prevent it,ut has no legal responsibility when
foreign objects are introduced into the sewer lines. In
such cases the City cannot be aware of such obstructions
until after the fact.

Mrs. Mayhell Hooten, 705 N. San Dimas -Ave., San Dimas,
owner of the property at 529 E. Duell, addressed Council.
She informed Council -that the sewer backup problem has
existed for 10 years, and that the Council and the City
forces have been aware of this. She stated that the
sewer backs up about every four to five months and the
filth has built up. There is an infestation of flies
and bugs. The odor is very bad. It was her feeling that
the City forces do not wish to rectify the matter.
Mrs. Candelaria Fierro, 526 E. Duell, addressed Council
and stated that the sewer backup has happened three times
in the past year and a half. Each time food, utinsels,
furnishings, carpets etc. must be thrown away. She also
complained of the bad smell and the infestation of flies
and bugs.
Mr. Andy Gordon, tenant at 529 E. Duell, addressed Council
and confirmed what the previous speakers had said.
The Director of Public Works, Mike Wells, addressed
Council and stated that the latest sewer backup, for which
these persons were making a claim, was caused by a piece
of ornamental rope that had gotten into wne sewer and
caused the plugging. He pointed out that the sewer crews
log what they get out of the sewer each time they unplug it.
He noted that sewer plug -ups were a result of foreign
objects introduced into the lines. He further noted that
adding to the problem was the fact the sewer lines were
rather flat, due to the topography of the land. Also,
the houses are below street level which allows the sewage
to back up into the houses before it overflows from a
manhole. A back flow device, which is required by the
Plumbing Code, had been installed at one of the houses
and it had failed. In discussion with the Council,
several possible alternatives were mentioned to rectify
the situation, including the possibility of the people
going back on septic tanks.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to refer this problem to the
Director of Public Works for. a recommendation which will
solve the problem, at the July 16, 1973, Council meeting.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Snyder and u.c.
that the matter of the sewer claims be tabled to the
meeting of July 16, 1973.
