Page 3 The current Presbyterian Homes sanitary sewer system currently includes three separate connections to the City’s sanitary sewer system. To implement an in-line grinder solution would require the installation of a private sewer line connecting the three separate lines, so that all of the sewer flows could enter the City’s system at one point. The grinder could then be installed on that new private service line prior to the point it enters the City’s system. The Presbyterian Homes expansion plans include the elimination of two of the three current sewer lines that connect to the City’s system. Another option is to initially install the in-line grinder in the City’s sewer line, beyond the point of all three connections from Presbyterian Homes. This would enable Presbyterian Homes to avoid installing an additional line, installing the in-line grinder in that line, then abandoning the additional line and reinstalling the in-line grinder at the time of their planned expansion. At the time of the Presbyterian Homes expansion, or after a maximum time period of 3-5 years, the in- line grinder would be removed from the City’s line and installed in the Presbyterian Homes line. Both in the interim period, and on an on-going basis, Presbyterian Homes would be responsible for all costs related to the maintenance and repair/replacement of the in-line grinder. RECOMMENDATION Based on the advice from the City Attorney, it is recommended that the replacement of the chopper pumps move forward and that Presbyterian Homes be notified of their responsibilities regarding the replacement of the pumps and the installation of the in-line grinder. COUNCIL DIRECTION REQUESTED Direction regarding moving forward to replace the chopper pumps with 10 HP non-chopper pumps, regarding whether an interim solution for the in-line grinder is acceptable, and regarding notification to Presbyterian Homes regarding their responsibilities.
