County Ditch 7A Sewer Problem The sewer line at 2966 Arcade Street in Little Canada has continued to cause problems for the homeowner. Videotaping of the pipe clearly shows that the pipe has settled in the area of the District's culvert and there is still debris in the line that was apparently not removed during the last repair in January 2000. Brad stated that the one-year warranty has expired on the contractor's workmanship, although the contractor was held responsible for the repairs done in 2000. Staff obtained a bid of $4500 from Jay Brothers to make the required repairs, and they recommend that the pipe be videotaped upon completion to prove that the problem has been corrected this time. Motion: Paul Ellefson moved, Bob Johnson seconded, to authorize the expenditure of up to $4500 to Jay Brothers to repair the sewer line at 2966 Arcade Street in Little: Canada, and to further instruct staff to clearly inform the city and the landowner that all future maintenance of County Ditch 7A will be the responsibility of the City of Little Canada -and property owners.
