Earth Day celebration at Solon Community Park
City of Solon Service Department Truck
Sewer Camera?
City of Solon’s Earth Day celebration at the Solon Community Park was a home run. Folks were lining up for mulch and the paper shredder. Perfect weather, free food, bad day for Debbie Downer.
The picture is that of City of Solon’s sewer camera truck, I think. I think the City of Solon has allocated significant resources and has made significant progress in mitigating stormwater flooding and sewer backup issues since the June 2006 flood.
If you are considering buying a home in an area that is prone to basement flooding, it may be worth it to find out if the property has an existing backwater valve or needs a backwater valve. The better backwater valves are not inexpensive.
One would think that real estate agents would be obligated under their fiduciary responsibility to give potential home buyers hints about significant and publicized events like the major flood events. Further, some homeowners insurance policy may require that the property must have a backwater valve to be covered against flooding due to sewer backups.
