Sewer & Water: |
D. Baken reported at the last Sanitary Sewer and Water District meetings, the board started two projects exploring ways to expand our under capacity sewer system. The first required the formation of a sub committee to explore the political and cost parameters involved in extending The sewer trunk lines beyond the present mandated boundaries. The second authorized the engineering firm of Bolton and Menk to develop a feasibility cost study for connecting the Nest Lake, Gold View, and Trailer Park to our sewer system. This system requires individual residential grinder pumps and high pressure and small piping, which connects directly to our force mains. The system uses direct boring thus eliminates the road way repair costs of our conventional system.
