You can assume in most cases that the sewer stub was installed at a 2% grade from the main. To get a rough idea of what elevation that might be you can determine the elevation of the main at the wye location for the sewer stub, scale the length of the sewer stub on the plan and assume it goes up from the main at a 2% grade. In some cases risers were installed from the wye if the main was much lower than it needed to be to serve the property. I can help you with this tomorrow when I am out if you like. As a rule we wouid like to discourage new connections to the main. Thanks, Tom Tom Kellogg, PE Associate Direct 651-604-4863 CeII 651-775-5637 tom.kellogg @ bonestroo.com �Bonestroo From: Evelyn M.

The sewer service for this lot comes off a main running along the side lot line rather than from the street. The new house would have to be located closer to Dakota Avenue to comply with the rear setback. The lot is uphill from the street, so the new basement floor elevation would be lower than the existing basement floor. Is there any information available concerning the elevation of the existing service? I've looked as the as-builts in the copy room but is there additional information someplace with the actual elevation of the end of the service? Would there be any issues with them tapping the main for a new service if that was necessary? Thanks Evelyn i
