352 From his perspective, Chair Stenlund asked Mr. Pasko for his opinion on why or how a 353 homeowner could be responsible for a portion of the line under the street and beyond his 354 right-of-way; and without any power on their part to control what occurs around or near 355 that line, such as compaction or traffic vibrations. Chair Stenlund also sought Mr. 356 Pasko's observations of other communities and their practice. 357 358 Based on his experience across the country, Mr. Pasko advised that he was only 359 personally aware of one community that stops ownership at the property line or right -of - 360 way. Mr. Pasko advised that the responsibility of the owner usually went to the main and 361 includes the wye, with the private property owner responsible"for the lateral and Wye 362 connection that comes into the main to make it a complete pipe. Furthermore, Mr. Pasko 363 noted that it was common on the east coast for ownership of the Wye and lateral up to the 364 main. Mr. Pasko recognized that the wye was generally the first part to break. 365 366 Mr. Pasko noted that the State of MN was actually progressive at a private property 367 owner didn't own water service to the main or half or all of the c top box; and 368 advised that many communities across the nation do so. 369 370 Mr. Pasko opined that depending on the situations and technology to emp em, he 371 suspected that the use of cleanouts was coming to an end. Mr. Pasko noted t at it wasn't 372 unusual for private plumbers to carry liners into home basements or install cleanouts next 373 to the foundation wall but not in a right-of-way. 374 375 Member Seigler asked if water laterals and linings had the same issues as that of sanitary 376 sewer lines as far as deterioration. 377 378 While water mains were similar in terms of trouble spots and many can be rehabilitated 379 using similar technology, Mr. Pasko noted that it depended on the community and its type 380 of soil. Mr. Pasko advised that 30% to 60% of pipe wall loss was being experienced in 381 communities with 1920's era infrastructure. Mr. Pasko anticipated that in the next ten 382 years, technologies will be available allowing for water service pipes of 1/2" diameter to 383 be lined, once the materials used are certified; with some being experimented with now. 384 385 Mr. Culver reported that S.E.H., Inc. will be designing and administering a Roseville 386 project lining the water main on Heinel Drive due to it being a long dead-end street and 387 creating difficulties for those residents if an open cut process was used. Mr. Culver 388 advised that this new technology for water main lining was different than the previous 389 pilot program using 3M spray -on material. 390 391 On behalf of the PWETC, Chair Stenlund thanked Mr. Pasko for his informative 392 presentation and discussion. 393 394 6. Roseville Recycling Request for Proposals (RFP) — continued from January 395 Mr. Culver referenced the staff report and attachments; highlighting specific items 396 remaining for PWETC recommendation. Mr. Culver also provided a summary of 397 the 60 comments and questions received via the Speak Up! Roseville website. Page 9 of 20
