Program completed (1995-1997) <br />. 753 removed due to public education and <br />outreach. <br />. 1379 removed as a result of inspection <br />program. <br /> <br />. 12% (2,132) properties had illegal <br />connections <br />. Total city cost = $400,000 (approximately <br />23$/ property) <br />. Total savings = $80,000- $280,000/ yr <br />(depends on amount of precipitation) <br /> <br />Discussion: In order to meet the 2015 deadline established by the Met Council. We need to <br />determine how the City of Roseville should proceed to reduce the city's 1/1. While the point of <br />sale method might be more palatable to property owners, we are concerned that we may not be <br />able to bring the city into compliance before the MCES deadline. Currently there are 9,237 <br />residentially zoned parcels in the City of Roseville. According to Ramsey County records over <br />60% of property owners stay in their homes for more than 5 years. Weare required to reduce the <br />1/1 for the city to an acceptable level within the next 10 years. As a result we are concerned that <br />we will not reach more than half of the households before our deadline. Staff believes that the <br />property inspection alternative would be the most effective way to address the problem in a <br />timely manner. Also, time is money, every year 1/1 is costing the city money, the sooner we <br />address the issue the sooner we will realize cost savings. <br /> <br />Type of program Pro Con <br />Point of Sale .
