Highway 12 Interim Sewer Capacity Continued November 4, 1996 However, none have advised the city of any development plans. The three property owners and the number of units for which they have been assessed are as follows: Otten Bros. 30 Rebers 44 Wear 10 TOTAL 84 One potential solution to providing additional capacity on an interim basis is to expand a portion of the existing Long Lake sewer trunk line. For example; the installation of a parallel trunk line from Watertown Road to the Long Lake Metro lift station would provide an additional 100 units at a cost of approximately $150,000. In discussing interim capacity with both the City Engineer and the Public Works Director, it was suggested that Or >no should work with the city of Long Lake to find ways to gain as much additional capacity as possible from the existing trunk system to avoid spending money on a solution that is only temporary. Two suggested options in relation to Long Lake are as follows: 1. Long Lake is in the proce.ss of identifying sources of 1 & 1 in its .sanitary sewer system. Addressing the I & I would create more usable capacity in the trunk system. Rather than spending money on a trunk line expansion that will be replaced in 5 or 6 years, it may be a better use of funds to use that money to assist Long Lake in eliminating I & I, which would create additional capacity and would also improve the Long Lake system. 2. It would be possible to reroute approximately 75 current and proposed units of sewer flows from the proposed North Brown Road forcemain into Long Lake’s local sewer system vs. into the trunk line. This could make additional capacity available in the westerly half of the trunk line. These ideas have been discussed with the Long Lake City Administrator. A meeting involving the city engineers of both cities will be scheduled to determine potential solutions to the interim sewer capacity problem.
