MEMORANDUM
TO: Terry Foegler, Development Director
FROM:j1t6!Paul R. Willis, city Engineer
SUBJECT : Funds for Emergency Sewer Repair, 1&1 study
DATE: April 5, 1990
The City has recently received video camera and video recorder equipment
for use in inspecting sanitary sewer lines. The crew operating this
equipment has finished its training and is now actively engaged in the
inspection of critical sanitary sewer lines.
It is anticipated that some significant sources of inflow and
infiltration into the sewerage system will be found during the course of
the inspections. This inflow and infiltration may be found to result from
broken pipe sections, sags in the pipe which cause significant joint
leaks, illegal cross connections to storm sewers and etc. These faults in
the sewerage system will be collectively large enough to have a
significant impact on the amount of flow reaching the main lift station
during a heavy rain.
We need to respond to and fix faults of this magnitude quickly. This will
be best done by utilizing contractors who are throughly experienced in
the installation of sewer piping. The contractors who are utilized must
be available to us on short notice. Because amounts and types of work are
not known at this time, they \-Jill work on and be paid on either a "cost
plus" or a "time and materials" basis.
Toward that end, an ordinance to set aside a block of funds and to
authorize the Manager to spend money from that allocation for emergency
sewer repairs will be presented to Council on April 16u, . This ordinance
should also include the ability to hire equipment which will be needed to
get the video equipment into areas which are otherwise inaccessible to
that equipment. It is suggested that the entire $100,000 which is
budgeted in the Capital Improvements budget for sewer line rehab be
utilized for these emergency repairs.
