The District of Squamish has contracted Dougness Holdings Ltd. to conduct a sanitary sewer inspection in Garibaldi Estates. The survey will consist of flushing and a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera inspection to assess the condition of the sewer. Video inspection of the sewers allows the District to identify problems and plan for maintenance and repair works. Due to the high flows in some of the sanitary mains, camera work completed during the day has proven ineffective as the camera is under water and we are unable to see the condition of the pipe. Camera work is now being conducted at night when flows are lowest to get the best possible look at the problem areas.
Please be aware that during the flushing and cleaning operations of the sanitary sewer mains, there is a chance that the additional pressure in the sewer can cause splashing of water in toilets at houses with inadequate venting. Any splashing that does occur is strictly from water in the toilets and not from actual sewage in the mains. To minimize potential disruption, residents should keep their toilets flushed and toilet lids down.
Hand delivered notices will be provided 7 days prior to any activity on your street. As a homeowner you do not have to be at home while this work is being done. However, if you are at home and encounter any issues, please contact the nearby field crew at 604.826.7297 or call the District of Squamish Engineering Technician, Sam Skalsvik, at 604.815.8978 and the crew will be notified.
