CITY CL®M In4oduaed filed by Councilsan CITY OF BANGOR, NAINE Engineering Department TO THE RUNICIPAL OFFICERS: October 4, 1973 Pursuant to City Council Order 239 -AA passed September 10, 1973, directing the City Engineer toprepare plans and cost estimates for the extension of the Arctic Brook Sewer in a northerly dir- ection from Grandview Avenue, the following report is submitted: The proposed sewer extension would consist of1450 feet of 14" asbestos cement pipe extending north from the terminus of the existing sewer on Grandview Avenue, and 790 feet of 10" pipe extending northeast from the terminus of the 14" pipe to Essex Street. The sewer would be classed a collector sewer", in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and recommended in a report prepared by the names. W. Sewall Co. of Old Town, dated Narch 1967, entitled "701 Planning Report on City Of Bangor Sewerage Requirements". It is designed to be extended to serve the Burleigh Road-Bomarc Area and also to serve the Essex Street area. The present sewer Would ¢ons land Owned by Susan Paul and CPR Associates, Inc. The total estimated cost of the a installation, including the acquisition of a sewer easement, is $45,000. Normally, trunk sewers or collector sewers are not assessable, sable, since they are in- tended to serve large land areas by theinstallation of future lateral sewers. In this instance, however, there is presently no developmentexisting which would use the sewer immediately, and thus the revenues from sewer user fees would be pegligable. Since the sewer extension has been requested by Nr. Thomas T. Walsh to provide e service to a mobile home park which he is planning to de- velope onthe ceast side of Essex Street, it is recommended that the sewer be installed only under the following conditions: 1. The total cost of the sewer would be paid entirely by Nx. Walsh. 2. Nr. Walsh would post a bond guaranteeing payment of the con- struction cost upon completion of the sewer installation. 3. Nr. Walsh would be reimbursed annually in the amount of eight times the a r fee revenues received a s result of the sewer installation, until NrnWalsh has received full reimburse- ment of the amount which he prefunded. Mr. Walsh has indicated his approval of this proposal by affixing his signature to a letter outlining the above conditions. A study was also made of the possibility of extending sewer service to Mr. Walsh's mobile home park by way of Grandview Avenue and Essex Street. mhis would require the installation of a pump adjacent to Mr. Walsh's land and a force main extending south on Esses Street to Grandview Avenue. Since the Essex Street sewer would be under pressure, it would not be available for other persons to u Also, the cost of the installation would be ins of $75,000, and would not be considered beneficial to theCity. Since the sewer nstallation conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and would open up considerable area for development, it is recommended that the sewer be built. A plan of the sewer installation is attached. Respectfully Submitted, Jn�T.^ Frawley City Engineer JTE:rlb
