City of Evan
Sanitary Sewer System —1 /1 CORRECTION WORK ORDER
Gary Thurber
1557 Lancaster Lane
Eagan MN 55123
November 10, 2010
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 (1/1). (A copy of the City Code can be found at
www.cityofeagan.com /inflow)
The fallowing issues must be corrected or repaired to comply with City Codes:
The sump pump contains flexible piping and is discharging into the laundry tub.
The flexible piping needs to be replaced with rigid piping and discharged outside
the home.
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 a Sewer Permit. If
the repair work involves your sump pump, foundation drain or other internal
plumbing system, you will need a Plumbing Permit, Some situations may
require both permits.
• If you plan to complete the repairs yourself, you must first obtain a written
itemized bid from two (2) different Contractors /Plumbers and submit that
information when applying for the City permit.. You will also 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. We are enclosing a list of
pre - approved sewer pipe contractors for your convenience. While you are not
obligated to use a Sewer contractor from this list, all contractors must be pre -
approved before a permit can be issued„ A much larger 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..
