a)   That the contents of the report be noted.

  

b)   That Water and Sanitation department investigates the condition of the existing main sewer infrastructure pipelines outside of the property lines of the CRUs. These sewer pipelines are historic and may be of insufficient size diameter for the sewer load. These sewer pipelines may require upgrading or replacement as there are areas along the main sewer line where these main sewer line pipes have collapsed in the past.

 

c)   In the short term, Public Housing Tenancy Management creates C3 notifications for those CRUs with missing or damaged gutters and/or downpipes, rodding eyes and inspection chamber covers. Once the C3 notifications are created the Upgrades and Maintenance branch team will do the necessary repair work including replacing missing components.

 

d)  In the medium term, the Upgrades and Maintenance branch analyse all CRU C3 notifications for repeated sewer blockages so that these individual addresses can be inspected by plumbing teams to establish the cause of these repeated sewer blockages. Public Housing Tenancy Management would then create C3 notifications for those CRU units so that the Upgrades and Maintenance branch team can do the necessary repair work.
