• Deterioration of street conditions <br /> • Reoccurring water main breaks in the project limits <br /> • Sanitary sewer system back-ups into adjacent homes <br /> • Streets, sanitary sewer, water main lines are approximately 40 years old and are <br /> ' exhibiting deterioration problems <br /> As a result, the City Council provided funding in the 2003 budget for street and utility <br /> improvements. On May 28, 2002 the St. Anthony City Council authorized the <br /> preparation of an engineering feasibility report for the 2003 Street and Utility <br /> Improvement Project. <br /> 3. EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> i . <br /> 3.1. Sanitary Sewer <br /> The sanitary sewer system in the project area consists of nine-inch (9") diameter vitrified <br /> clay pipe (VCP) installed in the 1950's. The joint sealing material in use at that time was <br /> typically an oakum and bituminous material. Internal inspections with a specially <br /> ' designed television camera have found the structural condition of pipe to vary between <br /> fair and poor with numerous offset joints, some cracked segments, some root intrusion <br /> ' and mineral deposits at joints, and some dips with solids deposition. <br /> 3.2. Watermain <br /> The existing ater distribution mains in the project area were installed-in the ' <br /> g p � 1950 s and <br /> consisted of 6-inch and 10-inch cast iron pipe (CIP). The service connections are <br /> ' expected to have lead "goosenecks" and galvanized or copper service lines to the <br /> individual homes. In general, the system has provided good service but main breaks are <br /> becoming more likely as the pipes approach 50 years of service. In-addition, the lead <br /> ' goosenecks may be a source of lead in the residential water supply and the cast iron pipes <br /> are probably heavily corroded and possibly leaking. <br /> ' 3.3. Storm Sewer <br /> ' The existing storm sewer consists of an 18"RCP which flows east to west along 34`h <br /> Avenue from Harding Street to where it ties into a 24-inch (24") RCP, which flows north <br /> to south from 34`h Avenue to 33`d Avenue, first along a storm sewer easement between <br /> residential properties and then down Belden Drive. There is no existing storm sewer on <br /> Edward Street within the project area. <br /> City of St.Anthony- 2003 Street and Utility Improvement Project <br /> Feasibility Report <br /> WSB Project No. 1065-71 Page 3 <br />
