Cashin Executive Vice President Solid Controls, Inc. 6925 Washington Avenue South . Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435 Dear rir. Cashin: Thank you for your letter regarding the extensive sewer construction, bridge construction, and every other type of inconvenience that seems to be plaguing us this summer. The frustrations have been overwhelming. If I were not in the cross fire of complaints in this matter, I would swear the entire matter was a conspiracy. In hopes of answering your questions, I offer the following inforriation, which will not immediately resolve your problems, but will steer you to the proper persons responsible for restoring your property. .The construction of the sewer line along your property is a project completely administered and engineered by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. They contracted the project out to Johnson Bros. , who are responsible for all restoration of properties in the project. In order to create a touch of public realtions that is difficult to receive from large government, the City of Orono took up upon themselves to mail an information brochure to all residents i�forming them of the major construction project. For your information, I am enclosing this for you, which informs you of persons to contact. I am also enclosing an information memo from the contractor with his letterhead for your information. t T Needless to say, the project is behind schedule and we, to date, are patiently waiting for a reply to our letters on the cor.►pletion date of the projects. Fox Street is closed for the following reasons: The street is a City street built to accommodate 500-700 cars a day. When the detour went into effect this spring, the traffic increased to 7,000 cars a day, which completely destroyed the street at a cost to the City of $15,000.
