<br />e <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 4, 2001 <br /> <br />TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br />FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director Jf <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Water Tower Maintenance <br /> <br />Back!!round <br />The City of Arden Hills has two water towers that supply water for the City, The City <br />has a 1,000,000-gallon tower south ofI-694 on Red Fox Road and a 500,000-gallon <br />tower north ofI-694 on the north end ofFernwood Road near the Friskies Plant. The <br />City has these towers inspected every eight years for any structural or coating failures, In <br />the spring of2000, AEC Engineering of Minneapolis, a company that specializes in water <br />storage facilities, inspected the north tower. A report on the north water tower condition <br />was produced and supplied to the City, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />North Water Tower Condition <br />The ABC inspection report for the City of Arden Hills north water tower indicates the <br />tower is in good condition, AEC has identified areas where spot repairs of the tank <br />coating, both inside and out are recommended, Two copies of the report are available for <br />City Council members to review, <br /> <br />Costs <br />Estimated costs for the recommended repairs to the City's north tower are $11,500 plus <br />an additional $9,200 for AEC Engineers specifications for the repair and inspection costs, <br /> <br />Arden Hills South Water Tower <br />The City of Arden Hills south water tower was inspected in 1996 with follow-up repairs <br />made in 1997, This tower is also in good condition and only minor coating repairs were <br />made, An exposed ladder on the interior of the tower support structure provides access to <br />the top of the south tower. Public Works employees have long sought a safety cage <br />surrounding the ladder, which would bring the ladder up to today's OSHA standards, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ladder Ca!!e Costs <br />AEC estimates it would cost $7,000 to install a steel safety cage around the ladder that <br />climbers could lean back and rest against. Additional costs for specifications and <br />inspection of the cage installation are estimated to be $3,000, bringing the total costs for <br />the south tower ladder cage to approximately $10,000, <br />
