She explained that the capacities of the <br />existing interceptor line and the lift stations have <br />been reached. To solve the capacity problem they are <br />putting in a parallel system, vacating the existing <br />system, upgrading some of the lift stations, abandoning <br />two lift stations, and putting in some larger lift <br />stations. <br />Chairman Kelley asked how a lift station and the <br />existing pipe being replaced will be abandoned? <br />Ms. Eckhardt stated that they will remove the above <br />ground structures and the lift station is filled with <br />sand; the pipe will not be removed but will be plugged <br />in some areas. She noted that they may attempt to <br />remove the portion of pipe hanging from the bridge. <br />Kent Carlson, 3498 North Shore Drive, explained the <br />history of the lift station located on the corner of <br />Baldur Park and Birch Lane. He felt the problems are <br />directly related to private downspouts and sump pumps <br />discharging to the sewer, and that the City should make <br />an attempt to resolve this abuse before undergoing this <br />expensive project.
