Guest Ms K. DeRay Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Three homeowners had a agreement with the Town of Kearny to be connected to a community pumping station. Now the Town has been advised not to connect the house that gets two to three feet of raw sewage. Why? All documents state that this house be included. Another PROMISE BROKEN !!!!!!

Another PROMISE BROKEN !!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How could the Town do this to this resident? Sounds like a question for the only person who answers and that person is Jim Mangin.

Another PROMISE BROKEN !!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With all due respect, Ms. D, you know that is not true. I actually stopped and asked a worker why the Schuyler Avenue residence wasn't hooked up yet, and he showed me three excavations where the crew searched for the lateral to connect to the pumping system. (For those, like me, who don't know, the lateral is the residence's hook-up to the main system; and is considered part of the resident's plumbing and therefore the resident's responsibility.) Apparently, the lateral at that residence is not where it is supposed to be, so it will take a little more effort on the engineer's part to locate it and adjust its position so that house can be connected. Once that is done, the power can be installed and the pump station will be up and running. This is not a "promise broken", it is simply a promise stalled by an unforeseen obstacle for which the municipality is really not responsible. Good luck and dry basements to you all!

Guest Don Kennedy Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Three excavations were done here? Now somehow I can't count. I recall but one! That was where they thought it might be but was not. Since the structure was not on the tax office maps, it would seem to me why is the lateral so important when the structure doesn't exist! It's this a backwards way of claiming they know all when in fact they clearly know nothing? - Makes any resident angry. So now it would seem that two more 'digs' are needed so that they can say and mean there were three attempts to locate this missing pipe. Much more can be applied here though I do not feel it needed at least at this time. Who knows, this may have to be continued as the saga of the missing pipe.

You have suffered enough and I'm sure you have better first-hand knowledge of the situation than I do. However it seems to me that if the first digging did not produce the lateral, there must have been at least one more. So the exact amount of excavations has probably alluded both of us. The ultimate question here is whether or not your residence is now connected to the pump station and when it will be up and running. I sincerely hope that by the time you respond to this post, that will be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why the NJ DEP reqired that this home be connected to the pump.Mayor Santos promised it would be completed by August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
