UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Sewer Televising Report Recommendations Consulting Engineer, Mr. Greg Stonehouse, of Howard Green Consultants, gave an overview of the sanitary sewer televising, and the subsequent report prepared by Infratech, Inc. He stated there were four main areas within the City where there was potential for concern. The first is a residential area west and southwest of Lake J oharma. This area appear to have some joint problems. The pipe segments appear sound, but there are roots growing through many of the joints, suggesting that there may be some openings. The type of cleaning recommended for this area is estimated at $2.00 per foot. The second area is the compost site easement, including approximately 1,720 feet of 15-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), and nine manholes. The pipe structure appears to be relatively sound, but many ofthe joints show signs of minor leaking and some of the joints have significant leaks. This area appears to have a very high groundwater table relative to the sanitary sewer line. Preliminary estimates to slip line this area are approximately $120,000. The third area is the Valentine Park easement, including approximately 2,255 feet of 15-inch RCP, 1,775 feet ofl2-inch RCP, 614 feet of 12-inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP), 300 feet of8-inch VCP and 23 manholes. Preliminary estimates for slip lining this area are approximately $340,000. The final area of concern is Old Highway 10, including approximately 1,400 feet of 10-inch diameter VCP sewer and seven manholes. Again, the groundwater table appears to be relatively high, so the leaking which was observed is probably continuous throughout the year. Testing and sealing the joints in this area may cost approximately $30,000, depending on the quantity of grout used.
