lines proposed serve only the Village of Moundsview--no other. The type of
system which was decided upon is strictly a gravity system. The Council had
requested they make a survey of the soil and samples were on display with
reports accompanying each one for those who might wish this information.
Mr. Knutsen also explained other features of the construction program
which are that the trenches will be closed as soon as possible so roads and
streets may be kept open to traffic with as little inconvenience as possible.
The County will participate financially in this betterment program. The
proposal also is to restore all boulevards with suitable lawn grass.
He explained that the intent is to provide for minimum maintenance
with the least possible cost. Maintenance and future construction are of
the type which can be handled by Village forces with a minimum of equipment.
Mr. Knutsen discussed the matter of street resurfacing after the work is
completed. This portion of the work, can not follow immediately since the
ground should be allowed approximately a year to settle and pack down by
use. The Council will determine the proper time and give approval for this
work. This plan will save the Village money and result in better quality
roads. Any of the county roads disturbed during the course of construction
will be restored and this matter will have to be resolved with the Council
and the County.
