Mission Statement
The Drainage and Sewer Control Committee is made up of volunteer residents whose mission is to identify and investigate the quantity of storm water which may lead to drainage, waterway, and sewer problems that affect the City of Macedonia in conjunction with EPA mandated quality issues. The committee will work to identify public and private responsibilities while making recommendations for improvements and informing the public.
Currently, the DSCC is in communication via email and does not have any meetings planned. If you have an issue or a concern, please contact Dennis Mulac.
What’s Happening Now?
The DSCC and associates have developed a way to fund the capital improvements to remedy storm water issues that affect Macedonia. The goal is affecting most amount of people at the lowest cost. Our current focus is centered around what NEORSD is doing and how they affect the residents of the City of Macedonia. However, due to the economy, the DSCC has decided to communicate via email instead of meeting.
Why is this important to you?
Storm water affects everybody in the community in many ways.
* Water entering sanitary sewer lines
* Sanitary sewer backup in your home
* Standing water on your property
* Streams that form during heavy rains through your property
* Erosion of property
* Blocking roadways due to high water levels
* Water entering home
* Cracks in foundation walls
* Reduced property value
Although this list is not exhaustive, all these reasons cost you money and causes headaches. They may not be a problem now, but eventually it will become a problem for you if it is not dealt with immediately.
You may live in a house at the top of a hill and you actually don’t have any of the problems listed above, so why should you worry? The answer is in the resale of your house. When you want to sell your house, or when your house is being appraised, houses that are similar around yours are located and compared against yours. If that house has water issues, which lowers its value, then that will lower the value of your home, even if you don’t have these issues!
Macedonia has a history of major storm water problems, and they aren’t getting better! New developments, old and undersized sewer and storm water lines, blocked culverts, leaves on the storm drains, etc. all affect the accumulation of storm water and removal of storm water in the community.
Why was the Drainage & Sewer Control Committee formed
The Drainage & Sewer Control Committee was formed in response to the flooding received during the summer of 2006. Although June, 2006 provided Macedonia with major flooding across the region, it has always been and will continue to be a problem that plagues the entire city unless something is done. A group of residents was selected by Mayor Don Kuchta to be a part of this new committee because of how these residents were affected during the summer rains of 2006. The focus of this committee, as directed by the mayor, is to deal with the quantity of storm water that can ultimately result in property damage and loss of property value. This committee works with Mayor Don Kuchta, City Council, the Service Department, the City Engineer, DOES, Civil Engineers who specialize in storm water issues in a city, and residents of Macedonia to come up with solutions on how to deal with our storm water and sewage issues.
