. CITY OF 1\RDEN HILIB MEHlR1lNDllM DATE: J\me 26, 1992 TO: Mayor and City COlmCil FRCH: Dan Winkel, Public WOrks SUperintendent SUBJECT: Public works weekly Report The jetter truck was utilized every day this week and the annual sewer Ilaintenance seems to be going very well this sununer. There continues to be a few easement problems, due to trees and bushes being planted on utility easements . I have attempted to deal with the encroachments on an individual basis. Several hours were spent on Tiller lake this week; on Tuesday, a possible watennain leak occurred at the corner of Dunlap and Tiller. The ground was very saturated and the water appeared to be under pressure. The =ew dug up the watennain in the area and allowed the Ilain to be exposed overnight. No leaks were found and no water ran into the hole. The hole was then backfilled, since it appeared this could be caused by a natural spring in the area. The Contractor also experienced some difficulty with the project; the . entire section of street fram Carlton to Hamline should be subcut and refilled with sand/gravel by the end of this week. On Wednesday staff and Council representatives met with BRW Architects. These meetings are scheduled fram every other Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, July 8, at 7:30 a.m. at City Hall. The Public W=ks =ew also had some hydrant repair this week. While using a hydrant on Arden Oaks Drive, a r=k got caught in the seat of the hydrant and , the =ew was unable to shut it off. The =ew shut off the gate valve in front of the hydrant to stop the water flow, dismantled the hydrant and repaired daJrage to the "seat". The =ew also spent one-half day checking and preparing a punch list of repairs on the North Snelling Avenue project; the reconstruction job is near completion, with the exception of a small amount of cleanup items to be addressed. If the Council should have any questions or concerns, please contact me. rM/ts . ~-
