PROJECT
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek City Council authorization to
advertise for bids for the 2009 Sewer Slip-Lining project.
Historv
Annually the City of Prior Lake uses a process called slip-lining to repair
existing sanitary sewers. This method allows the City to repair sewers without
excavating the street or yard areas. A resin liner is installed within the existing
clay sewer pipes. This liner provides pipe integrity, increased flow capacity
while providing a water tight sewer line. The lining of existing sewers using this
method is extremely cost effective and important to the City's preventative
maintenance program. These repairs substantially extend the life of the sewer
system while reducing inflow and infiltration in to the City's sanitary sewer
which can increase wear on lift station pumps and increases the City's costs
for sewage treatment by the Met Council.
Current Circumstances
The 2009 Sewer Utility Fund Budget includes $130,000 for sewer slip-lining.
For 2009 City Staff proposes to line 1,619 feet of 8" sanitary sewer located in
Sycamore Trail and Willow Beach Trail and the Anna Trail easement area.
Additionally, staff has included 1,064 lineal feel of 10" sanitary lining in the
CSAH 21 right-of-way.
The proposed repairs are necessary and important to maintaining the integrity
of the City's sanitary sewer system and reducing costs associated with
groundwater infiltration in to the City's system.
Failure to continue to line sewers will result in the need for substantial repairs
that will require costly excavation in existing City Streets and increased
sewage treatment costs from the Met Council. While the exact life expectancy
of lined sewers is unknown the City expects them to last 50 years or more if
the correct methods are used.
The use of sewer lining reduces City costs for sewer repairs to about 1/3 of
tradition excavation methods. The City has budgeted $130,000 in the Sewer
Utility Fund for lining repairs in 2009.
