I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I sidewalk improvements, connections to existing sidewalk locations will be made at Jackson Avenue, 4th Street, School Street, and Gates Avenue. Proposed street and sidewalk locations are shown in Exhibit 8. As with the previous street reconstruction projects, the 2007 Irving Area Street Rehabilitation Project proposes to have Elk River Municipal Utilities install decorative street in accordance with their lighting policy as part of the project. Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer within the project area will be televised to determine the extent that repairs or replacement would be necessary. A review of the Closed Circuit Televised Sewer Inspection Report is expected to show that the existing system will not need any repairs at this time. The report will also be discussed with Mr. Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator. The existing sanitary sewer is shown in Exhibit 2. Watermain Watermain improvements were discussed with Mr. Bryan Adams, General Manager of Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU). The following items were a result of Jhe discussions and will be incorporated during design: . Some existing services within the 6th Street, Gates Avenue, and th Street loop may be lead or other non-copper material. ERMU policy states that non-copper services must be replaced with copper. These services will be identified and replaced as part of the improvements project. . The existing 4-inch watermain on 6th Street, Gates Avenue, and th Street will be replaced with a larger size main. The exact size will be determined during design through modeling. It is anticipated that at least an a-inch main will be required. · Existing old-style hydrants will be replaced and additional hydrants added. The location of new hydrants has been discussed with Fire Chief Bruce West and ERMU. The proposed watermain improvements are shown in Exhibit 4. Storm Sewer A review of the drainage patterns and pavement conditions reveal that some locations do not currently drain runoff effectively and has contributed to the deterioration of the pavements. Replacement and addition of curb and gutter, slight grade revisions, and storm sewer extensions are needed to facilitate drainage. Additional storm sewer is proposed along Irving Avenue, 5th, 6th, and th Streets east of Irving Avenue. Additional low points and catch basin locations will help alleviate flat grades and drainage problems. The proposed storm sewer improvements are shown on Exhibit 6. 6
