The first stage of the work is televising the pipes. This has been done, and the Engineering Department has reviewed approximately 70,000 feet-- 70q of all the tapes. Grouting has been accomplished on 26,000 feet-- 45.2% of granting that will be done. U-Liner has been used an 676 feet, about 12'Z% of U-Liner work. Spot repairs through excavation have been done at 21 locations, which is a little more than half of the locations to be excavated. Epoxy has been used an 102 locations--about 73~X of the locations where epoxy will be used. More than 42X of the known trouble areas in Phase I have been completed. 7) Flooding this past weekend re~tu.~.ted in only a few residential calls. There was minimal flooding in the Phase I area• These problems will be fixed; and we will learn what new things need to be done in this area. Some calls came in from Ward I; these problems are probably due to pump problems at the Dover lift station, which have been corrected. It appears there may have been an obstruction in the Flaherty area; a jet- vac was brought in but, because of water in the pipes, it was not effective. The water had to be pumped out, which took most of the night. The clogging was later remved. Although quite a few of the calls concerned street and backyard flooding, our priority has been and will continue to be residential flooding. Much of our man-power was sent to the Blossom-Flaherty area, where we had sanitary flooding. Authorization has been given for the purchase of more p!im-ps, approximate cost of $5,000, to help residents keep the flooding to a m_i.nimtnn. The money to repair storm flooding, which accounts for street and backyard flooding, should came from the General Fund. Hawev+er, without passage of the income tax, money will not be available. At present, we will do the best we can with current resources; we will continue to seek relief fran the State. 8) On Monday, January 7, at 7:15 p.m,, we will hold a meeting in Council Chambers to address the incomme tax and to meet with those people who have promised to support it and help with the campaign.
