RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
MUNICIPAL PUBLICALLY OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE INFLOW/INFILTRATION GRANT
PROGRAM AND EXECUTION OF A GRANT AGREEMENT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution authorizing
the application for Metropolitan Council Municipal Publically Owned Infrastructure
Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Grant Program and Execution of a Grant Agreement.
Overview
The City of Lakeville has received a Letter of Intent from the MCES regarding grant allocations
for the City of Lakeville. The MCES estimates that grant reimbursement amount will be
$25,000 for Part 1 of the MCES Preliminary Minimal Allocation and $4,927.19 for Part 2, should
Part 2 funding become available. Final grant amounts, and in turn, final contract documents,
will be determined after all communities participating in the 2014 MCES I/I Grant Program
have submitted for reimbursement. The deadline for communities to submit for
reimbursement is October 30, 2016.
The City has budgeted $200,000 for sanitary sewer lining improvements throughout the City
that will address Inflow/Infiltration issues. This work is being completed as a part of City
Project 16-13, the 2016 Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project.
Approval of this resolution will allow Staff to submit to the MCES a request to reimburse the
City for a portion of this work. At a minimum, the aforementioned funding for Part 1 of the
grant is expected.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Why is this work necessary? As the City’s sanitary sewer system ages, it becomes
susceptible to pipe damage that can result in inflow (direct entry of storm water) and
infiltration (ground water seeping into the sanitary sewer). This additional water
penetrating the sanitary sewer system can result in capacity issues at wastewater
treatment facilities, resulting in higher sanitary sewer rates for Lakeville customers. The
City can proactively reduce inflow and infiltration issues by installing cured in place pipe
lining.
