DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS 384 OSGOOD STREET NORTH ANDOVER,MASSACHUSETTS 01845-2909 BRUCE D.THIBODEAU,P.E. DIRECTOR. ' Telephone(978)685-0950 Fax(978)688-9573 March 3,2014 Thomas E. Panniello 47 Stonington Street North Andover,MA 01845 i RE: Sewer Blockage—Stonington Street Dear Mr. Panniello, I have received your letter dated February 28, 2014,concerning the above blockage. Unfortunately from time to time blockages occur in the collection system that is beyond anyone's control. When this happens we do the best we can to remove the blockage and assist the homeowner,which is what occurred earlier last month at your home.At this point if there were potential damages caused by the blockage the owner will file a claim with the Town's insurance agency through the Town Manager's Office. I understand that you have done this. I am in agreement with Mr. Willett's assessment as to the repair of the sag in the sewer connection pipe from your building to the Town's sewer main. Neither the blockage on Stonington Street nor the s Town's work to relieve the blockage could have caused the sag in your sewer connection.pipe. You are incorrect in the information you stated in your letter that the Town is responsible for the sewer connection. It is this Town's policy as well as most if not all municipalities in Massachusetts that it is. the responsibility of the property oy ner to repair and maintain the sewer connection from the building to the Municipalities sewer pipe in the street.It is difficult to say if the sag is causing back up problems into your basement or exacerbated any potential damage from the blockage;but certainly now that you know about it you should resolve the issue. 1 Very tru urs, Bruce D.Thibodeau,P.E. Director CC: Timothy Willett,DPW f Adele Johnson,Town Manager's Office Susan Sawyer,Health Department i Thomas E. Panniello Carol M. Panniello 47 Stonington Street North Andover, MA 01845 Telephone(978) 683-6966 February 26, 2014 Bruce D. Thibodeau, P.E., Director Town of North Andover Division of Public Works 384 Osgood Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Sewer Blockage - Stonington Street, North Andover February 15"through February 17, 2014 Dear Mr. Thibodeau: I am directing this letter to you to request a reconsideration to a response I received from your Operations Manager, Timothy Willett, iii his utter to me dated Febr�ja ,24,2014; a ropy of which is enclosed. I am also enclosing a copy of a letter that I sent to Adele Johnson in the Town Manager's Office dated February 23, 2014, which details the problems my wife and I had with sewer water that leaked into our basement which was caused by a sewerage blockage in the town's pipes that were located halfway up Stonington Street between February 15`h and February 17, 2014. I have also enclosed an inspection report from Maffei Sudden Service, and copy of a cleanup estimate from ServPro, both of which have been submitted to the Town Manager's Office. In getting back to Mr. Willett's letter, his opinion is based on inaccurate information. I never indicated that the problem was caused by a jet truck. I placed a call on Monday, February 17"to the town, and a truck was dispatched and the blockage was cleared by the workers. I also do not agree with his explanation that the maintenance responsibility of our sewer line runs from our house all the way to where it meets the town's main line in the middle of Stonington Street. When I spoke to the Town Manager's Office, I was told that our responsibility is 25 feet from the foundation, which would end at the front curb; after that, it's the town's responsibility. i i u 41 Page Two Bruce D. Thibodeau, P.E., Director February 26, 2014 As you can see from the inspection report on page one, it indicates that the line is backpitched/bellied from 25 to 40 feet outside the foundation; on page two, it indicates that 15 feet of cast iron sewer pipe needs to be replaced outside of the foundation. In other words, 15 feet of pipe needs to be replaced beginning at 25 to 40 feet from our foundation, which, again, is on the town's property. I would ask that you please read the enclosed letters, report and estimate and reconsider your position as I feel the responsibility of this problem lies with the town. My wife and I have been living on Stonington Street for five years and pay over $4000 a year in real estate taxes; we've never had a problem like this before and we certainly hope to never have another one like this in the future. Again, I'd like to restate that the sewerage blockage was halfway up Stonington Street, and quite a distance away from my house, which caused the sewer water to leak into our basement, which continued throughout the weekend of February 15`h to February 17th. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact li me. Thank you for your courtesy and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

The report states the line is sagged and pi'tched backwards for a length of about 15 feet. In my opinion, this problem was not caused by our jet truck which freed up a blockage on February 16. Please keep in mind the maintenance responsibility of your sewer line runs from your house all the way to where it meets the Town's main line in the middle of Stonington Street. Nevertheless, if you feel you have suffered damages you may file a claim through the Town Manager's office at 120 Main Street. Ask for Adele Johnson. Very truly yours, Timothy J.

Johnson, Executive Assistant Town Manager's Office 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Sewer Blockage - Stonington Street, North Andover Dear Ms. Johnson: Per your request, I am writing this letter concerning a sewer blockage on Stonington Street that began on Saturday, February 15, 2014, which flooded part of my basement. As I told you over the phone, my wife and I used pumps throughout the weekend to keep the leaking under control, but by Monday afternoon, February 17", our basement sinks began to fill with sewer water, along with some pipes in the walls which began to leak, so we contacted the Water and Sewer Department, who came down and found a sewerage blockage in the pipes located halfway up the street. They cleared the blockage and the water finally stopped coming in through our foundation.. On Thursday, February 20`h, we had an inspection done by Maffei Sudden Service, a copy of which I have enclosed. I have also given a copy of this report to Tim Willett at the Water and Sewer Department. On Friday, February 21", we had Servpro give us a cleanup estimate, a copy of which is also enclosed. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are hoping that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

I am reporting to you that since that date, your letter is being ignored. Their engine repair business continues to operate according to my previous letters. Saturday May 4, 2002 engine noise began at 7:2OAM and the last disturbance was heard at 8PM Sunday May 5, 2002. Since your letter there has been the usual activity of repair, noise, traffic, and customers as well as the proprietor accomplishing many pick-ups and drop offs(delivery service) of larger ride on equipment. Customers test operate the "for sale" ride on equipment up and down their driveway, and on the sidewalk in front of the premises. The repairer also operates the equipment in this manner, sometimes driving it around his home as test after repairs. A customer tested in this manner last evening at 7PM, made a purchase after which ramps were use to load the turf equipment onto the purchasers truck. At this time their business activity is similar to Granz Turf Depo located on North Broadway in Salem, NH. Would you please consider further action? Thank you, -CG I,. J P.
