Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />Date: September 22, 2015 Item No: 6 <br />Item Description: Sanitary Sewer Service Presentation and Discussion <br />Background: <br />Recently the Public Works Commission and the City Council have had questions and discussions <br />related to the ownership and maintenance of utility services that connect to the City owned main <br />lines. This month we will focus on the Sanitary Sewer services. <br />The City of Roseville, along with the vast majority of Cities within the State of Minnesota and <br />even across the country, separate ownership and maintenance responsibility for the sanitary <br />sewer system at the main sewer pipe. The City is responsible for the main line itself, and the <br />property owner is responsible for the entire service line, sometimes called the lateral, from the <br />main to the home/business. <br />Staff will provide a short presentation highlighting the different elements of the sanitary sewer <br />system, the maintenance activities performed by the City on the main lines, and the typical issues <br />and maintenance activities on the private service lines. Some information will also be provided <br />on available insurance programs for property owners that cover the service lines. <br />Recommended Action: <br />Receive presentation on sanitary sewer services and discuss recommended changes to any City <br />policies or operating practices. <br />Attachments: <br />A.
