MINU'CI3S City Counci.l Nov. 24, 1982 Lalce Gervai.s At this point, Mr. Ri.ngrose described the course that the new Interceptor intercepCOr ~aiil take through Little Canacla. There are maps in (Cont,) the City Center depicting the course of the interceptor li.ne. Mr. Ringrose repor[ed that the sewer on the north side of Gerva.is is too low to connecC :into the inCerceptor line, thus the pumping station on Pdger.ton cannot be completely eli.mi.nated. Mr. Ri.ngrose reported that the new li.ne wtll be 60 inches in size. The size of this pipe is based on the developed plan for over the next 60 years. The estimated cost ot the pr.oject is $5,000,000 and the MWCC wi11 be Crying to obtain funding from the Metr.opoli.tan Counci.l. No contributions are made to the project from local. cities and there cvi11 be no assessments from property ocaners. The schedule f.or the project is [:i.rst to secure fundi.ng. This project is compet:ing wi.th other projects and does no[ have the hi.ghest priority. If fundi.ng :i.s obtai.ned, the project coill probably begin in the summer or. f.all of 1983. Right now the MWCC will be completing the design of the line and will try to obtai.n the necessary easements.
