"The camplaint of odor after the sewer jet cleaned the main <br />in this ares was possib2y caused by dry water trapped in the house aC the <br />time the work was heing done. The roof vent on the house wiYl give sliffi- <br />cient air that anq svction will take place at the vent9 this beiug the <br />path of leaset resistance and will not dzaw water from the traps. On <br />November 18th a test w;_th smolce farced inta the sewer with a blmver revealed <br />no leaks in the house service.

In response to Mr. Grady's suggestios tbotws <br />notify residents in areas where 3etting is being done, Mr. Caster fse1s he <br />cannot justify this sort of notification. In most instances at thi.s stage <br />o€ the program the cleaaing is being done on an emergency basis, that is <br />where calls are being received and it is of the utmost necessity to do this <br />work imneediately rather than take the time to notify residents.
