Mr. Culver noted that there were devices available to install in toilets or basement sinks that would trigger water running continuously when those water temperatures reached a certain point. Mr. Culver advised that staff was in the process of communicating to residents with patterns of freeze-ups by letter to alert them to run their water if water temperatures are running under 35 degrees; with authorization for a $20 credit on applicable water bills if they are running water during this unusual situation. However, Mr. Culver noted the caution needed to tell people to run their water, and the pressure at which it should be run; as well as alerting the City of those actions before they do so to confirm that their water accounts will be credited appropriately. Discussion included the location of the largest majority of freeze-ups; staff s upkeep of a daily map to document those locations as calls came in, with the majority of the freeze-ups in a line from Bennett to McCarron's Lake; with residents in that area being aware of that pattern in order to take preventative steps. Further discussion included whether there were sewer lines freezing as well, with Mr. Culver reporting approximately 10-20 to-date, with frozen water lines often a contributing factor for sewer line freeze-ups; with steps to prevent those occurrences often more successful by simply flushing hot water through the system. Mr. Culver noted, with the odd winter conditions of snow, ice, lower than normal temperatures and other variables, it had been and was becoming more challenging for all jurisdictions and agencies, in addition to running out of salt and anti-icing materials across the board. Mr. Culver reported that staff had been blending materials for some time now, and even though not a preferred method, it was necessary under the circumstances. Mr. Culver noted that, in using more sand in the mix, it exacerbated issues in the spring with that runoff going into the storm water basins. Chair Vanderwall noted one area of concern for him was with the arterial road running through Roseville and surrounding communities that were under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County. Chair Vanderwall noted that the majority of those intersections were very slick, creating numerous accidents and safety issues; and asked that staff alert the County asking them to prioritize ice-control treatment efforts at those intersections. Mr. Culver noted that "priority" was the key word in that request, as the County's resources were becoming strapped as well, along with MnDOT. Mr. Culver expressed his confusion that MnDOT did not apply more salt on Friday and over the weekend, but reiterated that everyone was trying to conserve their available Page 3 of 13
