The Superintendent <br />UPDATE reported that beginning the evening of April 261h, the City received over 5 <br />Inches of rain over a 3 -day period. Staff was able to handle some minor <br />flooding issues that occurred; however, the Carla Lane area had major <br />ground water issues that caused the Keller Lift Station to be overtaxed and <br />unable to stay ahead of the combined sanitary and storm sewer flows <br />coming into it. City staff used the Vactor and pumped down the wet well <br />every 4 to 6 hours for the first 4 days and a little less frequently through <br />Sunday, May 4111. The Superintendent thanked the public works staff for <br />all the extra hours they worked to keep the sewer operating in the Carla <br />neighborhood. <br />The Superintendent reported that once the groundwater inflow settled <br />down and lift station pumps were able to keep up with the flows, some <br />issues were discovered that need to be addressed. These include the fact <br />that the lift station wet well needs to be resized and that 2500 feet of force <br />main that conveys sewage to County Road B-2 is old 4 inch cast iron pipe <br />that is corroded and not able to carry as much sewage as it used to.
