Information meeting planned on sewer backup

The township will organize an information meeting for property owners in the areas affected by a recent sanitary sewer backup in Drayton’s core.

Numerous commercial and residential buildings were flooded by a backup from the township’s sewage treatment facility on April 11.

At the June 10 Mapleton council meeting CAO Patty Sinnamon reported on an email sent to township officials by Jerry Roubos, the owner of one of the affected buildings

“He suggested we consider having an information session with those property owners,” to provide information on how to deal with sewer backup.

She said Roubos offered to provide information and host the meeting and requested the township provide the venue.

Council directed staff to set up a meeting as soon as feasible for any residents or property owners in the potential flood zone.
