Lusher: <br /> Ir. a letter to Debbie St�nson, City Clerk, dated Jl.me 29, 19t31, you <br /> info?��ed us of excessive f��ws in the Long Lake sewage system on Jt.me <br /> 13th, 14th and 15th when heavy rains occu.»ed. We realize infiltration <br /> occurs because of the aroblems we have with some of our sek�e lift <br /> stations, and we would like to m�i.nimize this infiltration as r.uch as <br /> we car.. However, �he MWCC ?�as declared Long Lalce's Z/I to be "rmrt- <br /> excessive" to the point we can not receive any f'Lmds for study and/or <br /> repa.ir. This inforr�ation ��ras set to Todd Hegl�d, a me�nber of our <br /> Cit�,l Ccuncil, b,y Fred St�bcrg of your staff in a letter dated Febraasy <br /> 1?, 19�1. i'herefore, althou�,h we a.re still concerned, our �roblem is <br /> apparen�ly not great enough to warrant any rnaior action. <br /> There are two a.^eas in Orono that are cormected to the Long I�lce sewer <br /> system. Durin� the heaw rainfalls of Jtme 13,1'� and 15, it was noted <br /> that a considerable �no�t of infiltration was occuri.� in scme ma�holes <br /> in Orono that were. corn,?letely �.ulder water. We !�ave discussed this with <br /> staff ine�r�ers in the �it,y of Orono, and it is cur understan3ing the;� <br /> have a�ee1 to raise these manholes so the tops will be above the high <br /> water li��e. <br /> `�e cities of Medina, Or�no, and LonF? ?�ke ?'"e in the process of vrriting <br /> a new sewer a�eer.�ent in anticioation of new sewer const:�uction for Medina. <br /> As a �a.^t of ti-�s constr�sct�on, flow and/or puir�ing r.�eters will be in- <br /> stalled to measure the flow �m each carrrm��ty, '_r'his will allow a more <br /> accurate measare o�' each comrn.uzities contribution to the Met?^opolitan <br /> sewa�e s,ystem than we have �oday. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> � <br /> ' - �_���',���� <br /> L � <br /> �. �_/��-..-c� <br /> Diaze Gallagher <br /> Mayor <br /> IYl.� <br /> cc: Walte^ R.
