The Clerk read the following letter: December 17,1951 Honorable Mayor & City Council DesPlaines,Illinois Gentlemen: I herewith recommend that an Ordinance be prepared making it unlawful to connect the down spouts of any new building to an a xisting Sanitary Sewer or to any sewer carrying sanitary sewage. It is wish much reluctance that I recommend such an ordinance. I hesitate to recommend it for two reasons: 1. It will remedy nothing. 2. Ianey givemany people a false sense of security. During the next two years, we will probably build 700 homes in the City of Des Plaines. If we do not permit any of these homes to connect down spouts t� the sewers we still will have times, when, due to rain or heavy melting of snow, every drop of water will find its way to the sewer and the flooding will be just as bad as if they had connected their downspouts. In recommending this ordinance I have one particular area in mind, that is the area north of Thacker Street and west of the Soo Line tracks which will be affected when Homeric= Villas is developed. This may give this area some relief during moat of our storms. Very truly yours, E.N.Fletcher City Engineer The City tttorney was instructed to draft an ordinance.
