City of Chicopee PLUS

Hello,
I am the owner of 48 Andersen Rd – The Ridgewood Condos in Chicopee,MA. I am writing to formally request inspection and remediation of a suspected drainage obstruction or damage in the shared plumbing or sewer line affecting my unit.
Details of the issue:
• The plumber attempted a camera inspection but was unable to advance the camera beyond about 10 feet, due to multiple bends and significant rust buildup in the line.
• He suspects root intrusion is contributing to the blockage.
• He inspected the exterior sewage drain and spoke with several nearby residents who also reported similar drainage problems. This suggests the issue may involve the shared or municipal line, not just my private line.
• Because my unit is a middle unit, without a basement or access to blueprints, the plumber noted that an obstruction or backup from adjacent units could also impact mine. This situation raises concern that the shared drainage system may be compromised.
• In the interim, the plumber recommends minimizing water use (avoiding major toilet flushes, limiting or suspending laundry) to reduce risk of worsening the blockage.
Request:
1. Please inspect the line starting from the public sewer connection / manhole and any shared drainage segments serving my condo building.
2. Document any damage, root intrusion, or pipe defects found.
3. Provide me with copies of inspection reports and, if available, any existing as-built plumbing/sewer drawings for my building.
4. Let me know when your team will visit and what access you require. I’m available on most of the day on Mondays and Fridays between 1pm- 4pm.
5. This issue is increasingly urgent and could lead to sewage backups, structural damage, or health hazards if not addressed promptly. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

I can be reached by email at [email protected] or (404) 397- 2167. Thank you for your help and cooperation

Septic not working!

There is a manhole on my street that bubbles up whenever there is moderate rain. Sewage is entering the basement through the drain in my utility sink.

There is a dead cat in the middle of the highway just before the chicopee center exit coming from springfield.

Dead bird. No injuries. Wore a disposable glove and deposited it a plastic bag and left outside away from predators. Thinking possible Bird Flu.
