Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Excerpt from Meeting Minutes Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at 6:30p.m. City Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 7.Water and Sewer Service Lateral Discussion Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer presented information regarding the Water and Sewer Service Laterals. He noted staff discussed ownership, issues with maintenance, types of maintenance/replacement options, and how the City helps residents with these issues. Chair Ficek indicated there is a benefit to the homeowner in getting the inspection done. He wondered if there is a general benefit to the City as well in reducing the Inflow and Infiltration (I&I). Mr. Freihammer explained every bit of I&I that goes in is paid for on the overall sewer bill to the City. The MET Council monitors the flow out of the City and every drop of water that goes in the City pays for. Member Cicha asked with the point of sale inspections, is it typically immediately for anyone who sells their house. Mr. Freihammer explained according to the Ordinance a person has to prove that an inspection was done which is shared with the City and a determination is done. This can be set up a couple of different ways. The Commission discussed sewer line inspections, video of sewer scoping and replacements. Mr. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 Victoria Street, explained he was not in favor of point of sale inspections. Another thing he wanted to caution the Commission on is that there are some residents who have extraordinary long sewer lines, including his. He reviewed the history of the area where his home is located and how much his sewer line replacement would cost compared to the ordinary sewer line most residents have. Member Hodder asked what a better funding mechanism would be to make it work for someone like Mr. Kysylyczyn. Page 1 of 2
