A. Sanitary sewer maintenance and inspection een <br /> - - _ ' - - - - - - - = - - - - - - - -• _ . _ - - . the <br /> goal to perform preventative maintenance, (cleaning) on every <br /> line, every three years, has been established based on the age <br /> and history of the sytem. If regular maintenance is not <br /> performed on the system, the City could possible face increased <br /> blockages, possibly resulting in legal action. <br /> B. Pavement management - a cracksealing program has been <br /> added to prevent further pavement deterioration on streets that <br /> are relatively new or warrant this procedure. This, along with <br /> sealcoating, will stabilize the life cycle curve of these surfaces. <br /> The remainder of the City's streets are deteriorating more <br /> rapidly than staff can repair them. A street reconstruction <br /> program accompanied by a policy or philosophy of repair/ <br /> maintenance of the rest of the streets in accordance with the <br /> pavement management program must be addressed. should be <br /> considered. An effective pavement management program will <br /> prescribe proper maintenance activities on specific pavements <br /> at appropriate time intervals to extend the pavement life. Staff <br /> seeks Council's direction in this matter. <br /> C. Water system - the installation of approximately 40 to 50 valves <br /> need to be installed throughout the system to provide more <br /> effective isolation during construction and emergency situations., <br /> i.e., water main breaks. Another issue is the repair and <br /> replacement of residential water meters which continue to age <br /> and fail. Many inaccurate meters can affect water revenues. A <br /> testing program needs to be instituted,. and these meters need <br /> to be replaced in a more timely manner. The Gopher State One <br /> Call system has burdened our small staff even more. Since its <br /> origin, the City has averaged 1 to 1 .5 hours per day during the <br /> winter months to 3 to 4 hours per day during the summer <br /> months, excluding construction projects, i.e., Long Lake Road. <br /> D. Maintenance and repair of vehicles and equipment - because <br /> of increased numbers of equipment and essentially one <br /> mechanic, operators are required to perform preventative <br /> maintenance and minor repairs themselves.
