<br /> . <br />Staff is reviewing the possibility of doing a joint residential water . <br />meter replacerrent project with l'bunds view in 1995. lVbunds View is <br />scheduled to replace all of their residential meters early in 1995. A <br />Request for Proposal for this project is currently being prepared and <br />it appears that both cities could realize a rronetary savings by doing <br />this proj ect together. The project v.ould include both the purchase <br />of new meters and installation. More inforrration will follow when it <br />becomes available. <br />Staff was informed of a water leak in a driveway of a townhouse on <br />Brueberry Lane. The Public Works =ew investigated and tried to <br />detexmine the location of the leak. When the closet curb box was shut <br />off, the water appeared to stop. Because the water stopped leaking <br />into the driveway, it was determined that the responsibility to repair <br />the leak rested with the property owner. The property owner was <br />informed of the City ordinance that states when the leak occurs <br />between the curb box and the house, the property owner becomes <br />responsible for the repair. <br />A contractor was hired and the repairs completed. When the curb box <br />was exp:lsed, it became obvious that the water leak was actually on the <br />street or water main side of the curb box. The responsibility to . <br />repair the leak is now the responsibility of the City. The City has <br />reimbursed the Arden Hills Townhouse Association the arrount of <br />$1,380.00 for the contracted repair. There will be additional costs <br />to the City when the concrete driveway is repaired in the spring. <br /> . <br />
