LANGDON LANE SEWER BACK-UP
Mediator, Don Brauer, presented maps showing the lift stations in the area of Langdon
Lane. A sewer back-up occurred in this area during hard rains in April.
Discussion followed regarding analysis of the situation, alternative solutions and what the
next step should be in this process.
The solutions presented included; the residents installing valves and pumps to eliminate any
back-up, alternating lift stations pumping at different times, putting in a lift station at the end
of Langdon Lane, asking Metro to extend their force main downstream from the affected
area and dump downstream, and putting a lift station in just for the affected area.
After discussion, it was decided that the City Engineer will prepare cost and feasibility study
on the installation of separate sanitary sewer line and lift station for the affected area and
present this to the City Council at their July 24th meeting. This will be coordinated with a
presentation to be made to the Metro Council at their August meeting. Hanson indicated
that the City and Metro COUncil would enter a cooperative agreement for the solution.
There was concern by the residents on what they should do in the short term while this
permanent remedy is being' pursued. It was the consensus of the Council that it's up to
each individual resident if they want to use valves for the short term solution.
