--60NESTR00 AND ASSOCIATES ^ 612 6361311 02/06/97 14:02 0 :04/17 NO:654 I. Introduction The City Council has requested this report to determine the feasibility of constructing sanitary sewer improvements for the Boy Ridge area, as shown on Figure I. The lots in the area are generally small and it is difficult for the homeowners to provide a suitable area for replacing their on-site systems. The City of Orono conducted a study to determine if there were neighborhoods in Orono which should be provided with municipal sewer rather than have the neighborhoods upgrade their existing septic systems. Bay Ridge was one of the ten identified Orono neighborhoods designated as “rural” (unsewered) area. The smaller lot sizes, proximity to lake shore and other factors suggest municipal sewer .service is preferable to long term septic system usage in the Bay Ridge area. It is estimated that 45% of the existing septic .systems in Bay Ridge will need to be upgraded. The City has held neighborhootl meetings with the residents to attain input and develop a workable solution for solving the problem. The Bay Ridge residents have requested sewer, conditioned on a lake side location. This report describes the sanitary improvements required to completely serve the development. The proposed sanitary sewer and force main improvements are presented on Figure 2. The costs of the proposed improvements are presented in the appendices and a cost summary is presented in the Cost Analysis section. Sanitary Sewer Improvements mi
