HomeMy WebLinkAbout9A - SPL/PL Sanitary Sewer DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: FEBRUARY 22, 2000 9A SUE MCDERMOTT, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER BUD OSMUNDSON, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OQ-XX APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. 1 TO THE SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP/CITY OF PRIOR LAKE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR SANITARY SEWER AND WATER HISTORY A sewer and water construction and maintenance agreement between Spring lake Township and the City of Prior lake was approved at a special council meeting held on June 1, 1998. This agreement authorized extension of City sewer and water service outside of the City limits to eliminate pollution of Spring Lake by private sewer systems. Construction of the sanitary sewer and water has been substantially completed. CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES An addendum to the original agreement is proposed to address several issues identified by both city and township staff. The addendum, which is attached to this report, was approved by the township board at their January 13, 2000, meeting. ISSUES The addendum addresses the following issues: 1. Prior Lake City Code: The original agreement required the township to adopt the Prior Lake City Code which requires residents to connect to water and sewer within one (1) year of availability. The amendment would comply with the ordinance which was adopted by the Township which provides a two (2) year time frame in which the residents must connect and provides for 162QQ~~reek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER [ SOSHADD.DOC additional deferral if the property owner can annually demonstrate a non-failing septic system. 2. Partial Connections: Although City Code does not allow for partial connections, the addendum provides for three specific partial connections. Each of the three properties' private water supply or septic systems were impacted by the water and sewer construction leaving them nonfunctional. The addendum outlines payment procedures and requires a full connection to both water and sewer within a two (2) year time frame. 3. Flow Meter: The original agreement required the Township to install and maintain one (1) flow meter on the water main connection which the Township was to read and provide the usage to the City on a routine basis for billing purposes as well as meters in each house. Due to City staffs concerns regarding the flow meter specification, the City requested that the individual meters be installed and read at each residence. The Township will be responsible for reading the meters through subcontract. The City will invoice Spring Lake Township for the cumulative total of these meter readings. 4. Payment of Fees to City: > This section was revised to reflect the meters at individual residences versus the single meter that was originally proposed. 5. Estimated Usage: This section of the agreement was amended to reflect the meters at individual residences. 6. Definition of Routine Maintenance: The original agreement required the City to provide routine maintenance for the Township's sewer and water system. This section was added to clearly define what is included in routine maintenance: biannual jetting and flushing, watermain and sewer main repairs within the road right of way and/or permanent utility easements (exclusive of street restoration), and routine maintenance of the lift station pumps and controls. 7. City Connection to Township Sanitary Sewer System: This section has been added at the request of the City. There is currently a lift station within the City limits that could be eliminated by extending the Township sanitary sewer into the City limits. By doing this work, the five lots that are currently served by the lift station could be served by gravity sewer and the lift station removed. The estimated cost to do the work is $50,000. We are SOSHADD.DOC not proposing that this work be done now; this amendment only allows us the opportunity to do it after more investigation is complete. The City will have to weigh the costs to eliminate the lift station versus its ongoing maintenance costs. 8. Future Addition of SCADA System: This section has been added to address the addition of SCADA to the two lift stations that were installed as a part of the Township project. The SCADA system allows the City staff to remotely monitor the lift stations. 9. Exhibit "E": This exhibit was added to address the timeframe the township residents have to connect to the public sewer facilities and conditions under which existing septic systems can be maintained. CONCLUSION By approving the addendum, the outstanding issues that were not sufficiently addressed in the original agreement are resolved. Benefits to the City are as follows: 1) more accurate meter readings by installing individual meters at each residence; 2) a more concise definition of maintenance will potentially reduce the City's costs for any main repairs or lift station renovations; 3) allows the City to eliminate a lift station by connecting to the Township's system; 4) addresses installation of SCADA to remotely monitor the lift stations installed by the Township. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Amendments #3, #7, and #8 have financial implications. The elimination of the flow meter (amendment #3) means an approximate $10,000 savings for the Township. However, the Township has made the residents install individual meters at their own cost to account for the water and sewer usage. Amendment #7 will only cost the City if the construction work is completed. This issue will be brought back to the City Council after further investigation. Amendment #8 will only have a cost if the SCADA system is installed at the two lift stations. The Township is responsible for one and the City the other. Trunk fees pay for these installations. The SCADA system will reduce the necessity for City inspection visits to confirm satisfactory equipment operation. 11" T ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows: 1.

Metro/JolitanCouncil shall mean the agency created by Minnesota Statutes ~473.123. Parties shaU.mean the City of Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township. 2. Purpose. The City and Township desire to provide an environmentally sensitive and responsible solution to the probl~m of non-compliant and failing septic systems on certain properties along South Shore Drive in Spring Lake Township. Non-compliant septic systems are one factor resulting in an environmental threat to Spring Lake which flows directly into Upper Prior Lake. . Consequently, the waters of Upper and Lower Prior Lake are .threatened if contaminates from the non-compliant septic systems pollute Spring Lake. Connecting the properties with non- compliant or failing septic systems to municipal sewer and water will protect Spring uke, Upper and Lower Prior Lake and preserve the property value of the homes in the area served by the municipal facilities. . The City and Township desire to enter into this Agreement whereby the City will provide the TOwnship with limited sanitary sewer and water capacity. Tne Area served by the Facilities . provided pursuant to this Agreementwi!1 be limited to maintain development densities consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Regional Growth Strategy. This limitation will be implemented by limiting the number of Connection Units permitted to connect to the Facility. 2.1 Recitals.
