Bituminous curb along both sides of Ridgewood Court generally directs water along this street however some residents have indicated that runoff enters their property at driveway openings. The south end of Ridgewood Court is a cul-de-sac, which drains overland onto private property. This overland drainage has created erosion problems over the years and complaints from residents. There is no storm sewer on Ridgewood Court. A few catch basins exist within the neighborhood that collect storm sewer at low points along the roadway. The catch basins off of Siems Court discharge directly into Lake Johanna without water quality treatment and catch basins along Ridgewood Road and Arden Place discharge directly into the wetland. Along other sections of roadway, runoff tlows directly onto private property and to Lake Johanna. A privately constructed area drain exists nOlih of Arden Place that collects backyard IUnoff and recei vcs the runoff from the south end of Ridgewood Comi as mentioned above. This area drain runs under Arden Place and discharges directly into Lake Johanna. A private area drain has also been constructed in the backyard of3581 Ridgewood Road and discharges onto Ridgewood Road. From the public meetings held to date, some residents have voiced concern over street rnnoff flowing onto their property in various locations throughout the neighborhood. Presumably, runoff from small rainfall events naturally infiltratcs into the yards. However, larger events cxceed the ability of area soils to infiltratc may cause undesirable water ponding in yards. SANtTARY SEWER The sanitary sewer system is vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and was constructed in 1960. In the spring of 2005, the Operation and Maintenance crew televised the sanitary sewer system in the neighborhood. The televised sewer indicated no major damage to the sanitary sewer system but did reveal some cracked pipe, minor offset joints and root intrusion. These are relatively minor issues that can be addressed with regular pipe cleaning and ultimately pipe lining The pipe lining can be accomplished without disruption to the ground surface and therefore does not need to occur in conjunction with the project. The pipe relining will be considered with other pending sanitary sewer work in the City's Capital Improvements Plan and accomplished when funds are available. Minimal groundwater infiltration was observed into the sewer system at the time of televising. There are two sanitary pressure forcemains within the Ridgewood Neighborhood that consist of 6" cast iron pipe. One forcemain discharges from Lift Station #3 to gravity sewer along Ridgewood Road. The other forcemain discharges from Lift Station #4 to gravity sewer at the top of the hill on Arden Place. Lift Station #3 was reconstructed in 1999 and Lift Station #4 is in the process of being reconstructed in 2005. Due to the soils in this neighborhood and the age and material of the sanitary forcemain, there is concern that the forcemain may be near the useful end of their Ii fe and in need of replacement. WATERMAI'i The watermain along the north segment of Siems Court, Arden Place and Skiles Lane is 8" cast iron pipe (CIP). The south segment of Siems Court and Ridgewood Road watermain is 6" CIP. CRS 4
