ANNUAL SEWER MAIN REPAIR

DESCRIPTION:

The City Council accepted the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan on November 29, 2005. The Sewer Master Plan recommends that an annual project be performed to repair or replace sewer main segments and manholes that have been identified through either the sewer televising program or through regular maintenance activities as candidates for repair. The actual renovation for this project will be site specific, but could include installing lining in existing pipes, installing new pipes along the same alignment by pipe bursting, installing a parallel line, or simply digging up existing pipe and replace it. Manholes can normally be repaired by simply lining the inside.


COST SUMMARY:
Design and Construction $ 358,000

POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES:
Sewer Enterprise Fund $ 358,000

IMPACT ON ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION COSTS:
Performing minor repairs to the sewer system should slightly decrease maintenance effort for sanitary sewers.

ALTERNATIVES:
Full sewer main segment replacement. However, this method is not cost effective when only a short segment requires repair.
