<br />1 st Half Review <br />Page 2 <br />July 6, 2000 <br /> <br />Sewer Utilitv <br /> <br />. Lift Station Uodating <br />The City has 14 sewer lift stations which pump sewage from low areas in town to <br />higher areas where it flows by gravity down to another lift station or all the way to a <br />Metro waste line which takes the sewage to a treatment facility in St. Paul. The City <br />has converted 2 ofthe 14 stations to modem, up-to-date stations, which are safer, <br />more efficient and easier to maintain. In the year 2000 the Public Works Department <br />has identified the IngersonIHamline station as the next candidate for conversion. This <br />station is the largest by volume pumped and handles all ofthe commercial/industrial <br />areas like the Red Fox/Grey Fox area. It also handles several residential areas and is <br />the most problematic in the event of a failure. Expected costs for the conversion of <br />this station to the latest type station is near $175,000. The City is budgeting the <br />needed monies for this project in 2000. <br /> <br />. Sewer Televising <br />The City is in its fourth year of televising a section ofthe Cities sanitary sewer lines. <br />Televising of all City sewers should be completed by 2005. The purpose of the <br />televising is to identifY broken pipe, infiltration, potential blockages, etc. Televising <br />is then followed up by prioritizing repair work. <br /> <br />. 2000 Reoair Work <br />The City lined approximately Y, mile of 10" clay sewer line this spring. This was a <br />main collector line rulll1ing east and west between the Lake Valentine Townhomes <br />and the Shorewood Hills area south of the high school. One segment of this line was <br />broken to such a degree that a total collapse of the sewer line was inevitable ifleft as <br />it was. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
