- Total Cost $109,069
- Solar on Public Buildings Grant: $65,441
- Direct Pay Credits: $32,721
- City's Net Cost: $10,907

WHAT IS INFLOW AND INFILTRATION, AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
If you are planning to list your home for sale, you must complete a Sanitary Sewer Line Inspection video and a Sump Pump inspection. This is required to help reduce peak sanitary sewer flows caused by Inflow & Infiltration, to prevent excess clear water from causing inflow and infiltration problems and from sapping sanitary sewer capacity needed for wastewater. This will also help to prevent sewer backups and increased costs of needlessly putting clear water through the wastewater treatment process. These inspections are also required as part of our rental licensing program.
PLEASE NOTE: When you submit your inspection video, be sure you complete the entire upload form and include your email.

STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE
The Contractor has substantially completed the street reconstruction and utility replacements along MacAlaster Drive and asphalt resurfacing along the following roadways:
• 39th Avenue NE: Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road
• 30th Avenue NE: Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road
• Armour Terrace: Roosevelt Street to Silver Lake Road
• Murray Avenue: Roosevelt Street to Coolidge Street
• 29th Avenue NE: Silver Lake Road to Highway 88
• Roosevelt Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 30th Avenue NE
• Wilson Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 30th Avenue NE
• Coolidge Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 29th Avenue NE
• Anthony Lane: 29th Avenue NE to cul-de-sac
The optimal season for restoration (seeding) runs from spring to early summer and again from fall until the ground freezes. As the temperatures cool and precipitation increases with fall weather, newly seeded areas have optimal conditions to germinate and combat weeds. The contractor will return in the spring to complete any final turf establishment and place the final layer of asphalt pavement along MacAlaster Drive.
Questions or concerns with construction, please call Katie Koscielak at 612-282-3641.
