SUBJECT: Sewer Connaction at 1823 Harbour Street - Public Works
Committee ~ August 19, 1986

Recommendation:

That the property at 1823 Harbour Street be allowed to connect
to the existing sanitary sewer without extending it across his
frontage and that the City budget next year for the extension of
sanitary sewer along the entire street.

Background and Comments:

The property at 1823 Harbour Street has a malfunctioning septic
tank and the owner has been ordered to correct It. The sanitary sewer
is actually constructed to his east property line and he would have no
trouble connecting to ite As a condition of connection, he has been
asked to extend the sewer across his frontage. The intention was that
each owner would axtend the sewage across his own frontage prior to
being allowed to connect and In this way we would get the sewer bull t
on the whole street without anyone paying excessive costs. There are
Hydro poles directly in line with the required sewer extension and
therefore this approach would be quite costly to the owners.

-An alternative approach would be to go back to the practice
which we followed a number of years ago whereby the City extended
sewers through existing development. We have a Sewer Future Capital
Reserve bullt up for this purpose. We have not done this for a number
of years because all areas of the City which could be sewered were
already on sewer. We now have a pump station and truck sewer main
avallable In this area and it would be reasonable for the City to
extend the sewer along Harbour S+reet to hook-up al! the properties
which are now on septic tank. The owners of the property would then
pay the connection fee but not the cost of the main.

The Committee agrees with this approach but is recommending the
sewer main extension be budgeted for next year because we do not have
the manpower to do the work this year. In the meantime there will be
nothing preventing the property in question from hooking up to the
sewere
