<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - JANUARY 20, 2009 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Mr. Janski stated the study looked for broken pipes underground, road cracks and <br />manhole ring seepage. He indicated the smoke testing study did allow the City to <br />identify defects in the manholes, even those on private property. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag explained there were two or three homes with <br />smoke in their basements which means there is a way for sewer gas to get into the <br />homes, which could be a danger to the homeowners. He indicated staff would be <br />contacting the residents with this information. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked that this information be passed along to these residents <br />quickly. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated 80% of the manhole inspections have been <br />completed. He indicated the smoke testing was carried out through a contract with <br />a local vendor with assistance from City staff. Mr. Janski suggested areas 59 and <br />54 be smoke tested in the future. Public Works Director Hoag reported that 80% <br />of the system has been televised in the past 10 years. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag indicated the 2009 plan would compile the City <br />inspection reports. He stated the City will complete the remaining manhole <br />inspections and rehab them when identified. Public Works Director Hoag <br />explained that the sump pump inspections will begin in 2009. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant questioned if dates would be set on these items or if they <br />would be prioritized. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated he wouldn't be setting a rigid date but that the <br />manhole inspection would begin again this spring/summer and took priority at this <br />time. He explained that the PMP project would coincide with the manhole rehab <br />project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if the data could start to be compiled based on the <br />information currently gathered. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated a database could be compiled of everything <br />that has been televised, but prior to 2007 no paper logging was done to state what <br />was found. He indicated he had hours of tapes to review to allow him time to <br />properly document what was televised but that he could create a database on the <br />work that had be documented. <br />
