RESOLUTION NO. 82 - 1959
A RESOLUTION RELATING.TO SANITARY
SEWERS IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
BE IT RESOLVED, By the Council of the City
of Fridley, as follows:,
1. That the Council has heretofore considered
the extension of municipal sanitary sewer
into that area of the City commonly known as Riverview
Heights, and has had plans and specifications prepared
therefor, has held hearings thereon, and has received
construction bids relative thereto and having considered
all of the same, determines that said extensions are not
only desirable but needed in said area in the interest
of public health.
2. That the Council finds that plans and
specifications relative to said extension
have been submitted to the State Department of Health
by the consulting engineers of the City, and that the
State Department of Health, by letter communication
dated August 26, 1959, has informed the City that said
extensions were outside of the area contemplated to be
served by the sewer system of the City of Fridley, as
shown by a certain comprehensive sewer plan submitted to
said State Health Department in the year 1954 by the City
of Fridley, and that it appeared to said State Health
Department that should tle sewage from said area be brought
into and carried in the existing system of the City of
Fridley that such addition would tend to and likely in-
crease in a substantial manner the ultimate flow of
sewage in ,certain of the existing interceptors; and,
if the flow of sewage was so increased, said interceptors
would be inadequate to carry sewage from other tributaries
to said interceptors, as originally contemplated in the
comprehensive sewage system noted and submitted in the
year 1954; and that provisions therefore ought, in
necessity, be made by the City of Fridley.
3. That to provide services to the area known
as Riverview Heights, and to protect against
the overburdening of said certain interceptors, the Council
finds it is necessary to retard and restrict the flow of
sewage as might come into said interceptors from other
tributary sewers. It also finds that certain sewers
tributary to the interceptors contained in the comprehen-
sive system of 1954 have not yet been constructed, even
though plans for part of the same have heretofore been
made and their construction approved. That without
further engineering study and advice from the consulting
engineers, the Council is unable at present to determine
how and at what points or places the City can best retard
and restrict the flow of sewage into the said interceptors
as would prevent the ultimate flowage therein from being
substantially increased and said sewers being overburdened
and in order that the Council have such information, it is
necessary that the consulting engineers act immediately
with respect to making a study of the comprehensive system
of the City as a whole, and to advise the Council
accordingly.
RESOLUTION NO 82 - 1959 Continued
4. That it is in the interests of the City
and the public generally that said study
be completed and available to the Council of the City
of Fridley and the State Health Department on or about
January 1, 1960, if completion thereby is at all
reasonably possible; and, further, that it is in the
interests of the City that the City have the results
of such study and the advice of.its consulting engineers
relative thereto available before the City considers
making further extensions to its sanitary sewer system
as would affect said same interceptors. That upon the
receipt of such information the City shall act to
delineate the areas, places and points at which the
sewage might be retarded and restricted in the trib-
utary systems of said same interceptors, and shall also
determine the manner thereof.
5. That the Council finds it is in the interests
of the City and the public generally that
the Council give further and continued consideration
to,the desirability and need of a study of sanitary
sewer needs in the City of Fridley as a whole, and also
as the same may be affected ultimately by planning
relative thereto in the entire metropolitan area,
whether the same be accomplished by the City of Fridley,
the State Health Department, a metropolitan sewer district,
or other appropriate body.
6. That having noted the contents of the
communication of the State Health
Department of August 26, 1959, and having given full
consideration thereto, the Council makes the representa-
tions hereinabove contained, and, accordingly, requests
the,approval of the State Health Department of the
construction of said sanitary sewer system into the said
Riverview Heights area according to the plans and
specifications previously submitted.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
, FRIDLEY THIS 14th day of September, 1959.
