B ACKGROUND
1
The majority of the city’s sanitary sewer mains were constructed in the late 1950’s and early
2
1960’s, utilizing clay tile and reinforced concrete pipe. Over time the joints have failed allowing
3
root intrusion. The pipe material is also susceptible to cracking and construction damage. The
4
City began the sewer lining program in 2006 to rehabilitate the sewer mains and extend the life
5
of our sanitary sewers by 50 years or more. Lining technology essentially installs a new resin
6
pipe inside the original clay tile sewer main without digging up city streets, which results in
7
minimal disruption to residents during construction. The liner pipe is inserted into the main
8
through existing manholes and cured in place with a heat process. Each segment is typically
9
completed in one working day. Service line connections are reopened using a robotic cutter and
10
remote cameras. During the process, existing flows are bypassed using pumps. This technology
11
also prevents infiltration of groundwater into the main system and can be credited toward a
12
Metropolitan Council Environmental services inflow/ infiltration surcharge.
13
The 2019 Sanitary Sewer Main Lining Project includes lining for approximately 7 miles in areas
14
identified as having root intrusion or infiltration problems. Approximately 1.78 miles of the
15
project are within the City of Falcon Heights. The City of Roseville has executed a joint powers
16
construction agreement with Falcon Heights that includes this work. The City of Roseville will
17
invoice the City of Falcon Heights for any work completed within Falcon Heights.
