<br />City of Gem Lake Comprehensive Plan GEMLK 140643 <br />Page 70 <br />Cleaning costs are estimated at $4,000 per mile when contracted. A program to clean 3 <br />miles over a three year period results in a contract cost of $4,000 per year. The actual <br />cost to the City may be different depending on the amount of work accomplished. <br />7.4.2 System Televising <br />The City of Gem Lake has established a televising program to televise all sewers. CCTV <br />all sewer lines help establish a “base line” televising database for all sewers in the <br />community. In addition, the City has already established a practice of televising sewers in <br />areas where street rehabilitation or reconstruction is scheduled to occur. This allows the <br />City to be efficient with infrastructure management and to avoid situations that require <br />removing portions of a newly constructed street. Contracts for new sewer construction <br />include the televising of the new sewer. A copy of the televising reports and video are <br />provided to the City at the end of the project. <br />7.4.2.1 Equipment <br />The City of Gem Lake contracts out all their CCTV inspection and does not have an <br />equipment inventory. The cost of the equipment and amount required by the City are <br />often more efficiently contracted rather than owning specialized equipment. The most <br />efficient means to provide CCTV inspection would be to develop a televising program that <br />coincides with the cleaning program described above. It is recommended that the City <br />televise the entire system every three years. A 3-year schedule equates to 1 mile per <br />year. Televising costs are estimated at $5,000 per mile. A program to televise one mile <br />per year results in a contract cost of $5,000 per year. <br />
