JUN-05-2003 11:45 WSB & ASSOCIATES 7635411700 <br /> 24 <br /> WSB <br /> &Associates,Inc. <br /> June 5, 2003 <br /> The Honorable Mayor,City Council and Staff <br /> City of St. Anthony Village <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road NE <br /> Minneapolis, MN 55418-1603 <br /> Re: Reduction of Clear Water Flow-In for Sanitary Sewer Systems <br /> St. Anthony Village,MN <br /> r? WSB Project No. 1065-57 <br /> Dear Mr. Mayor City Council and Staff <br /> The purpose of this letter is to discuss the options available to reduce clear water flows into the <br /> '... sanitary sewer system. By way of background,clear water in the Village is primarily <br /> groundwater which is directed into the sanitary sewer through foundation drains and sump pumps <br /> from private residences. Clear water flows cause the sanitary sewer system to backup into <br /> basements causing damage to properties and increasing the cost of sanitary sewage treatment. <br /> Foundation drains and sump-pump discharges from private residences should be disconnected <br /> from the sanitary sewer line and redirected to the storm sewer system to prevent damage to <br /> residents and to reduce the overall sanitary sewer treatment costs. <br /> The Village has completed a number of activities to reduce the flow of clear water into the <br /> sanitary sewer system. These activities include: <br /> 1. Mandatory inspection and disconnection of illegal foundation and sump-pump <br /> connections at the time homes are sold. <br /> 2. The Village has completed a City-wide educational program. This program included <br /> mailing brochures describing the problem,presenting solutions, and provided a contact at <br /> City Hall which would assist them with an evaluation of their property. This educational <br /> program is also conducted each year at the public information meetings associated with <br /> the street reconstruction projects. <br /> 3._ Since 1999 the Village has reconstructed nearly 17,000 lineal feet of sanitary sewer, a_nd_ _ <br /> all manholes within the City street reconstruction projects. Furthermore, the City has <br /> completed flood improvements which have reduced the occurrence of street and home <br /> flooding, which in the past has contributed to clear water flows into the sanitary sewer. <br /> 315®bts3i In 2002,the Village received information from the Metropolitan Council concerning an increase <br /> Aemorle'Highway in the rates to the sanitary sewer treatment charges due to the large volume of clear water in the <br /> iuite 3oa:: sanitary sewer flows. St. Anthony Village has increased its water rates to cover these direct <br /> expenditures. As a result of these cost increases and continued backups,the Village desires to <br /> vlinneap04. : reduce the quantity of clear water entering the sanitary sewer system. To achieve this goal,a <br /> Ainnesota number of options are available. Several options are provided below for your consideration: <br /> 511422 <br /> r63 5418©4.
