Sanitary Sewer System — I/1 CORRECTION WORK ORDER
Bill Way
1863 Covington Lane
Eagan MN 55123
September 13, 2011
Thank you for your recent cooperation and participation in completing the
inspection of your Sewer Service to identify sources of clearwater flow into the
sanitary sewer system,.. As a result of that inspection, certain aspects of your sewer
service were found to be out of compliance with Section 3 40 of the City Code
regarding Inflow & Infiltration (I /I). (A copy of the City Code can be found at
www.cityofeagan.com /inflow)
The following issues must be corrected or repaired to comply with City Codes:
the sump pump discharges into the sanitary sewer system with flexible piping.
The sump pump will have to be disconnected from the sanitary sewer system and
discharged outside the house with rigid (ABS or PVC) piping,
Per the City Code, it is now your responsibility to complete these corrective
improvements within 60 days of the date of this letter
Please be aware that the City of Eagan has adopted a program whereby the City will
pay 50% of the costs for these required repairs If so requested, the City will also
finance the property owner's share of these costs over a period of up to 5 years at
4% interest by spreading it as a special assessment for collection with your property
taxes.. (NOTE: Permit fees are not considered as part of the repair cost and are not
eligible for reimbursement or financing options.)
OPTIONS & PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW FOR BRINGING YOUR PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE
• ALL REPAIRS REQUIRE CITY PERMITS. If the repair work involves your sewer
service located outside your building, you will need to obtain an Inflow &
Infiltration Sewer Permit. If the repair work involves your sump pump,
foundation drain or other internal plumbing system, you will need an Inflow &
Infiltration Plumbing Permit.. Some situations may require both permits
• If you plan to complete the repairs yourself, you will have to provide an original
copy of all receipts for actual material costs incurred once the work has been
completed and a Final Inspection has verified compliance with City Codes. The
City will then issue a reimbursement check for its 50% share. If your share of the
costs exceeds $200, you may also elect to have that amount financed by the
City. An application form will be provided upon request. This will allow the City
to issue a reimbursement check to you for 100% of the costs incurred.
• If you plan to hire a Contractor /Plumber to complete the work, you must obtain
a written itemized bid from two (2) different Contractors /Plumbers and submit
that information when applying for the City Permit; all contractors must be pre -
approved before a permit can be issued. A large list of Licensed Plumbers is
available on the City's web site at: www.citvofeagan.com/inflow
After the work has been completed, you must submit a copy of the
Contractor /Plumber's Final Invoice when scheduling a Final Inspection. Once
the inspection has verified compliance with City Codes, the City will then issue a
reimbursement check for its 50% share made out jointly to you and the
contractor /plumber. If your share of the costs exceeds $200, you may also elect
to have that amount financed by the City. An application form will be provided
upon request.. This will allow the City to provide reimbursement for 100% of the
costs incurred
NOTE: before any payment can be processed by the City, a Final Inspection
must be completed and a Certificate of Compliance issued
If you fail to make the noted repairs within the required 60
days, a SURCHARGE of $150 PER MONTH WILL BE ADDED TO
YOUR UTILITY BILL (Until the repairs are satisfactorily
completed)
We recognize that this mandatory program is an unexpected inconvenience and
expense to you We want to minimize its impact and help you through this process.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in this very important environmental
protection program
