Hello,
I am a resident of Bozeman and property owner on South Willson. I am aware of an upcoming
capital improvement projects meeting on 11/23.
As you may already know, the sewer line for S. Willson is blighted and potentially dangerousto downtown Bozeman. According to knowledgable civil engineer Kyle Scarr, it consists of a
century old 6 inch clay pipe with delamination, holes, root intrusion, and damage that aresignificant and do increase the potential for failure. I am aware of S. Willson neighbors who
have had problems with their sewer outflow. One such unfortunate neighbor had sewage backup into their basement requiring them to find a separate residence while the issue was
resolved. I was told this was due to tree root ingrowth and that it would require ongoing yearlymaintenance to keep the line patent.
I am fearful of the consequence of not addressing this sewer line promptly. I respectfully
request that you invest in our celebrated and historic S. Willson Ave and include a sewer mainupgrade as one of this years capital improvement projects. Thank you for your time and
attention.
Sincerely,
Justin
