Sanitary Sewer There was 162,074 feet, or 30.7 miles, of sanitary sewer cleaned in 2013. In addition, there was approximately 5.4 miles of sanitary sewer trunk televised and inspected including trunk mains in Area F and G of the street program. Many of the vulnerable sewers in Area F were replaced or lined in 2013 with the street project. Public Works did not have any emergency sewer trunk repairs during 2013 but did respond to a significant private sewer service pipe failure in February. The sewer service served a 25 -unit apartment building and was located under County Road I. The service required replacement to the connection of the trunk sewer main 25 -foot below the street. basin at work m Tree roots removed from a private sewer Stormwater Stormwater pond maintenance and inspections were increased in 2013 and new requirements for the MS4 permit will be implemented in 2014. Street sweeping included 590 miles swept totaling 132 loads of debris to handle and dispose. Maintenance for over 300 infiltration basins constructed with the street projects has increased the workload for the stormwater subdivision. In addition, there were 120 feet of truck pipe cleaned and televised, 12 sump manholes and 2 storm septors cleaned and debris removed. Periodic maintenance and inspection of these items is important in keeping pollutants out of the surface waters. Streets 2013 was a busy year for snow plowing and ice control. There were 37 total snow events requiring 292 tons of salt and 4,920 plow truck miles driven. This effort was split nearly 50/50 between the first part of 2013 and the last part of 2013. A 6 -inch snowfall event occurred in May and crews were back plowing in November. Maintenance crews also used 242 tons of asphalt to fill potholes, skim coat, patch, or repair various pavements. The crew also sealed cracks in the pavement and painted crosswalks and pavement markings during summer. Lambert Parkin winter Snowplow truck at work. Parks A wet and warm spring followed by drought conditions during summer and fall made 2013 a challenging year to keep the parklands and building grounds looking good and well groomed. Countless hours were spent mowing early on, then followed by watering trees and weeding. The maintenance crew was also busy dragging ball fields, weed whipping, maintaining landscaping, and keeping equipment in good working order. Public Works crews also performed the infield grading for the reconstructed baseball field at Lambert Park and assisted with the baseball field fencing, playground replacement, new irrigation system, and grading. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT I MOUNDS VIEW PUBLIC WORKS PAGE 6
