She stated that they experienced a sewer backup and called Roto- Rooter to investigate the problem. Upon repair of the stop- up, Roto- Rooter discovered that the Grattons were still connected to a septic tank instead of City sewer. Upon checking with the Sewer Collections Supervisor, to verify the possibility of a customer still being connected to a septic tank, he acknowledged that occasionally the City does discover customers still on septic systems. The Roto- Rooter plumber explained that a mini- camera was inserted into Mrs. Gratton' s lateral and it ended at a septic tank in the backyard. He also stated that a portion of the lateral was Orangeburg pipe. Staff reviewed a copy of Sewer Reference Map No. 392A and verified that a four ( 4) inch stub- out was installed for this property in 1972. After speaking to Mrs. Gratton and Roto- Rooter, we advised that a crew would be dispatched to locate the end of the existing stub- out for the property. Staff proceeded to the site where a mini- camera was inserted into the stub- out at the manhole ( MH 1679) near the north property line. The stub- out extended 42 linear feet from the manhole to the right- of-way line but ended in the middle of the Grattons' driveway, which is constructed of brick pavers. The end of the stub- out was marked with duct tape. Staff explained to the Grattons that a stub- out had been provided during the construction of the sewer main along Jonquil Avenue, which was completed in February 1972. The original property owners were given the option of tying onto the stub- out or staying on the septic system. The Grattons bought the property through foreclosure in March 1974 and moved into the house in May 1974. The septic system infonnation was not disclosed at the time the Grattons bought the house. As outlined in the City' s Code of Ordinances, the Grattons were required to
