CSU?OF nINDS Public Works 2466 Bronson Drive • Mounds View, Minnesota 55112 Telephone: (612)784-3114 • Fax: (612) 784-0548 March 29, 1995 Nis . Joan Sandidge 7816 Bona Road Mounds View, MN. 55112 Subject : Water Service Repair Dear Ms . Sandidge : On Monday, March 27, the Public Works Department was notified by a resident of a possible water main break in front of 7800 Bona Road. In the afternoon staff confirmed that water was indeed seeping out of the ground at that location. Locations were requested for the excavation of the area, and residents affected by the disruption of water service were notified that the water would be turned off at 8 : 00 am on March 28 , 1995 . Prior to excavating, it was noted that there was a residential service located in the area, and it was possible that the service was leaking. At approximately 8 : 30 am on March 28 , staff began the excavation to repair the possible water main break. When the Public Works employees uncovered the water main, they discovered that the service was leaking, and the water main was not broken. The service that was leaking was identified, by location and asbuilts, as belonging to 7817 Bona Road. When conditions exist that clearly indicate a residential service is leaking, the City does not perform the repair. This repair is the responsibility of the homeowner. In this instance, there was not enough evidence indicating which pipe could have been leaking or broken. In these circumstances the Public Works Department will perform the repair, and in the event that the residential service is leaking, the homeowner is responsible for paying the City for the work performed, and any restoration resulting from the repair. I have itemized the repair costs to date, they are as follows : Labor 42 hours $ 739 . 02 18 hours $ 494 . 85 Total Labor $1, 233 . 87 PRINTED WITH • . SOY INK.. w� recycled paper
