The Engineer would prefer to combine the lift station <br />work with next year's sewer televising and maintenance projects, This may result in <br />more aggressive bidding due to the larger project, as well as lower engineering fees, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sanitarv Scwer Grease Ordinancc <br />The Public Works Director would like to hear input from the City Council members <br />regarding their support ofthe proposcd ordinance before continuing down this path, <br />Council may recall the ordinance would require all commercial food processing <br />establishments to have grease traps installed in their sewer service outlet before it <br />enters the City Jines, This could conceivably cost the food processors several <br />thousand dollars, depending on the type of trap best suited for their application, <br /> <br />Water Utility <br />. Meter Reolaccment Proicct <br />Nearly 2200 of the City's 2350 water meters have now been replaced or upgraded, <br />The City will begin sending notices to the remaining 150 or so residents who have not <br />scheduled for a replacement or upgrade following Council's approval of Resolution <br />No, 00-41. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sumo Pumo Insoections <br />The building inspector is waiting to hear from approximately 100 residents who were <br />sent notices of sump pump violation tbis past quarter. Most residents are complying <br />with the City ordinance and having their sump pump discharge line rerouted out of <br />the City sewer and into their yards, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Old Hil!:hway 10 Watcr Main Proiect <br />The water main and service lines are all in, Only cblorination and testing remain <br />before putting the line into service. All the driveways are usable, but restoration work <br />was halted by the wet and cold weather. This is the first time plastic water main has <br />been used in Arden Hills. Due to the acidic clay soils, many of the City's cast iron <br />water mains have experienced premature failures where pipe and fittings have rusted <br />away. Plastic is now used extensively in several area cities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Citv Hall Watcr Linc <br />The new 8" water line that supplies the new city hall site is completed. The line was <br />chlorinated and tested for bacteria then put into service, The general contractor is <br />now using water from this line for construction purposes. <br />
