Sanitary Sewer The existing condition of the sanitary sewer system was acquired from as-built information, sewer video tapes and manhole inspections. The following is a table of the existing sanitary sewer with information on pipe size, material and any problems noted during the televising. Street Sanitary sewer size Pipe material Problems Asbury A venue 8" Clay Circular cracks, heavy roots Ridgewood Road 8" Clay Circular cracks, heavy roots Storm Sewer Neither street under consideration has existing storm sewer. There are catch basins located at the intersection of Ridgewood Road and Glenhill Road that drain to the north into the wetland area east of Ridgewood Road. This system is located outside the proposed construction limits of the project. PROPOSED UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS The existing manholes, fire hydrants, gate valves, and other similar structures will be adjusted and repaired as necessary as part of this project. The cost of any underground utility improvements will be excluded from the assessable portion of the project and financed by the appropriate utility fund. Casting replacements or repairs are considered part of the street improvements and are not charged to individual utility funds. Staff wi!! work with private utility companies to coordinate other utility improvements with the street reconstruction project. Watermain Reviewing the history of watermain breaks, staff feels that there are no areas that need complete replacement ofwatermain. As a general guide, watermain replacement should be considered when more than five breaks occur in a ten year time period. Sanitary Sewer After reviewing the sanitary sewer video tapes, minimal repairs were identified. One manhole is in need of rehabilitation; the bottom half of the structure shows evidence of inflow. Heavy roots and several circular cracks were also noted in the pipe segments along both streets; however, repairs required for these types of problems could be completed using trenchless technologies, such as pipe lining. City staff will be working on a separate pipe lining project in 2008, outside the scope of the PMP. Based on the manhole inspections, staff has determined that the castings and rings should be replaced with chimney seals to eliminate a potential source of inflow. This area has not been identified as one of the City's problem areas for inflow and infiltration (1&1), therefore, these costs would not be eligible for credit towards the 1&1 surcharge. However, it is important to make these improvements at this time to ensure this does not become a problem area in the 13
