. Howard R. Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS MEMORANDUM To: From: Honorable Mayor and City Council Terry Maurer4 Project Status Update September 20, 1999 Subject: Date: On Monday evening I will be in attendance at your City Council meeting and I will be prepared to update you on the various projects. These include the following. .:. East Elk River .:. School Street .:. Pedestrian Bridge .:. Trunk Highway 10/17151 Signal . .:. Tyler Street and storm sewer plans .:. 17Slh Street Improvements .:. CR 77/CR 1 signalization .:. TH 169/CR 33 signalization One of the issues that the City Council will want to hear about is the property owners that have been out of water while the construction has been going on Tyler Street between 17SIh and 173rd. There are three properties that have been effected, the Korthals, the Gardeners and the Kleins. All three of these properties have, to the best of our knowledge, sand points of 20-feet or less. In fact, the Korthals which were the first ones without water, have a sand point of approximately of 10-feet. As you aware the sanitary sewer in this area is substantially deeper than 20-feet, therefore, the dewatering for the installation of the sanitary sewer has caused these wells to dry up. The dewatering that the contractor was utilizing have been turned off for some days now. The only well that currently runs is one providing water to the Gardeners and the Korthals. We have been monitoring the situation on a daily basis and based on a pond on the Klein property have documented that the water table is continuing to raise back up to its normal level. We anticipate that within a week, the three properties in question will have water service from their normal sources. I have talked with Ms. Gardner regarding potential damage to appliances caused by sand getting into the system. Certainly any damage caused by this situation is the responsibility of contractor and we will see that appropriate remedies are taken. Once the normal water source returns to the three properties we will contact them to determine what, if any, damage they have suffered and assist them in putting in a claim through the City to the contractor. We will then monitor that to make sure that the claim is dealt with fairly and expedically. . If you have any other questions regarding this situation or any other projects please call or bring them to the City Council meeting. \\SPNWFS\VOL 1 \DA TA\PROJ\000175\175-1504.sept99.doc 1326 Energy Park Drive.
