PosT PHOTOS BY CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Sewage (continued from page 1) When Princess died June 22, Gert couldn't even bury her where she wanted to. When she started to dig the grave she unearthed a large white plastic pipe running along the rear of her property. “I cut the pipe and capped it shut,” she said. But she hasn't noticed any difference in the amount of water running into the yard. } * Dallas Area Municipal Author- ‘ity manager Tom Bagley inspected her yard and had the sewer sys- tem dye tested. His lines aren't leaking, he said. Inspections by supervisors Doug Ide and Ray Iwanowski only proved the water didn't result from a drainage problem. ~ “She's in a low spol. A culvert orice ran through her yard but it’s blacked ofl now,” Ide said. ..Both he and former roadmaster Paul Goodwin noted her neighbor to the rear used to discharge the backwash [rom his swimming pool POST PHOTO/GRACE R.

The water isn't coming {rom the pool, they said. Iwanowski said Oak Hill's sew- ers were installed in 1987 to re- place malfunctioning on-site sep- tic units whose drainage [elds often blocked up. The owners had to have them pumped out fre- quently. sometimes as often as four times a year. Many owners devised creative hookups to reroute their gray water [rom the septic units to try and alleviate the problem,” Iwanowski said. “They ran their washing machine discharge hoses out into the gutter or to another place in the yard.” When the homes changed hands the new owners may not have known about them. Evans may not be the only one at Oak Hill with this problem. “It's possible people could still be improperly hooked up to the sewer and not know it,” Iwanowski added. “It's also possible she could be getting runofl [rom an old sep- tic unit. It could take 10 to 20 years. for the stull to leach out from one of those things.” Iwanowski said sewage enforce- ment officer Frank Eginsky had tested some of the water in Evans's yard and [ound fecal coliform. an indicator of sewage. Eginsky will have to do further tests to try and find the source of the runoff, -Iwanowski said. Eginsky was not available for comment.

Rhodes pointed out another advantage. “If we gel this new system up and running, it will be easier [or the administration to run their own buildings.” Dave Kaufman voted no to the 23/18 mill hike because, he said, “I was looking for additional cuts throughout the entire budget that didn’t materialize. My decision wasn't solely based on the three aspects we discussed that night.” Kaufman. who said he sup- ported maintaining the elemen- tary gilted program at some level, suggested modifying the three projects to a lower cost. However. he added, “I give credit to the administration [or the cuts they did achieve — it was a signili- cant reduction. Another good thing to come of this is that the admin- istration will change to using the line item method.” Kaufman, who voted no along with the minority, said “I'm not trying to put myself in one camp or another. I'm trying to balance the best interests of the taxpayers and the public with the board and the students. I'm trying lo repre- sent the best interests of my con- stituents.” The board voted to place vari- ous possible revenues, refunds, and dividends which were not budgeted into a reserve account to be used in the 1997-98 budget.
