Citizen Communication_Steven Krieg re water runoff on Bies DriveTo whom it may concern,
My name is Steven A. Krieg . I live at 1576 Bies Drive ,
Dubuque , Iowa. We have been here for since May of 1999. I
am writing this to ask a couple things from you.
1. We are on a well. There use to be a trailer park here many
years ago. And the well served all 21 of them. Now it is just
our house on the well. Our water pressure is terrible. We have
tossed around the idea of hooking up to city water , many
times. But we kept getting different stories and figures on
what we would have to do or the price of doing it. So now we
were wanting to know just what it would cost to hook to city
water? Well that isn't going to be a easy one to answer. There
is no water main in Bies Drive, past Daniels street. There is a
sewer line but no water line. I was told since there is no water
main , that I was to write this letter and send it to you.
Requesting that you extend the water main , down Bies Drive
to my house. Which is the third lot south of Daniels. Other
wise there is no way to trench to city water. If there is some
other way of hooking to city water , please let us know.
2. Second , we have heard that Bies Drive is slated for a
asphalt over lay, this year. If that is true , wouldn't this be a
good time to kill two birds with one stone? Bies is knolled and
has no curbs. When a heavy rains or winter melting accurse , it
all runs down and into our driveway. There is nothing to direct
it straight down Bies. When we have a heavy rain , it comes
right across the driveway and down through our yard. There
have been some super big storms , that the water came up
against the house. So the other thing that we would like you to
look into is , when the asphalt over lay is being done . That
you could look into my two problems , at the same time.
Water main extension , down Bies. And the water run off
problem , from how it is knolled our way. (curbless)
We hope you can help us with these two things? We will be
waiting for your written response. Thank you
