August 6, 1993 <br /> Coldwell Banker <br /> Mr. Paul Redlinger <br /> 4172 Lexington Avenue <br /> Shoreview, MN 55126 <br /> Dear Mr. Redlinger: <br /> I recently learned from a homeowner in St. Anthony that people selling their homes in our City <br /> have been told to ignore the City Ordinance concerning sump pumps. <br /> Enclosed is a copy of the Ordinance which states that prior to the sale of a dwelling the seller <br /> must request an inspection of the sump pumps and drain tile to ensure that they are not <br /> connected with the sanitary sewer. If either the sump pump or drain tile are connected to the <br /> sanitary sewer system, the situation must be corrected before the dwelling unit is considered in <br /> compliance to be sold. If a drain tile is connected to the sewer system and it is not detected at <br /> the time of the sale but in the future, the new owner will be required to make the correction at <br /> their expense. <br /> The City televises the sanitary sewer at night and if we find a line that is flowing clear water <br /> we can detect it. <br /> Also, it is a state law that abandon wells be capped. The seller of a home that has a well on the <br /> property is required to have an inspection to ensure that the well is closed off. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions on this matter. Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Larry Hamer <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> Enclosure <br />
