Council consideration and decision <br />Background Information <br />A feasibility study has been completed and two neighborhood meetings were held to discuss this <br />project. At the first meeting, a gravity sewer system with a municipal lift station was discussed <br />at an estimated cost of approximately $29,000 per unit. The residents objected to the high costs <br />for this project and the major disruption to the neighborhood resulting from project construction. <br />In response to the resident concerns, costs for a grinder pump system were developed. Each <br />resident would be required to purchase, install and maintain their own grinder pump for this <br />system. The estimated cost for a grinder pump system is $16,500 per unit. This cost estimate also <br />includes a $5,000 per unit allowance for property owners to purchase their own grinder pump <br />station. A second neighborhood meeting was held and the residents favored the grinder system <br />option. <br />A neighborhood survey was conducted, by several project area residents, and our understanding <br />is that approximately 75% of the residents favor a grinder pump sewer system. There are thiny- <br />seven properties in the project area. Twenty-six properties have nonconforming septic systems. <br />1 ■ <br />i
