Dear Board Members:
On Monday night, October 5, 1981 the water in the downstairs
toilet at my residence at 46 Robert Lane, Wappingers Falls
overflowed several times. I phoned Frank Versace at about 11:00
p.m. to find out what could be done. On Tuesday morning,
October 6, maintenance crews worked on the sewers after which
the sewers functioned normally.
The sewage overflow has damaged the carpeting in my downstairs
bathroom and playroom. Neighbors came in to witness the damage
on October 6, 1981. They agreed with me that the carpeting will
have to be ripped up and replaced.
I believe the Town of Wappingers is responsible for the damage
caused by the overflow. How do I go about obtaining redress
from the Town of Wappingers? Will a representative of the
Town assess the damage or should I go ahead and have the work
done and later present the bills?

Re: Sewer beck-up in Oekwood Knoll.
Dear Mr. Diehl:
ELAINE H, SNOWDEN
On October 5, 1981, at apprDX~tely midnight, we received e cell
from Town Board Member, Frank Versace. Mr. Versace stated the
homeowner's sewer l1ne, at 46 Roberts Road, was not flowing
properly, but the problem could wait until the morning to be
checked. Consequently, our crews responded the following
morning and found the sewer main blocked, and during the night
sewage spilled into the homeowner's basement. We then had the
blockage cleared and the line flushed.
In the past, under the direction of the Town ~upervisor, it has
been the practice of Camo Pollution Control to respond 8S soan e&
possible, regardless of time, to any problemi~alls we receive.
We have found that many times what appears to be a minor problem
or an insignificant event, can blossom into major problems and
even health hazards if not handled promptly. If the Town wishes
to change this policy by any means, please notify us so we can
inform our emergency work force.
Thank you far your consideration in this matter.
Your& truly,
MT/fg
