SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENTS
The Section 16 Sanitary Sewer Extension is proposed to extend municipal sanitary service for the approximately 180-acres of City owned property located along County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 and Ideal Avenue (CSAH 13). The project includes the extension of sanitary sewer south along Ideal Avenue from the intersection of Ideal Avenue and 31st Street to a new connection point to the City of Oakdale’s sanitary sewer system. A sewer stub will be left along the east boulevard of Ideal Avenue at 31st Street, for future connection. The Oakdale connection point is at Lift Station #6 located at the intersection of Ideal Avenue and Helmo Avenue/Stillwater Blvd. As part of the project implementation, the City has previously approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow for sewered development, executed an ongoing sanitary sewer use agreement with the City of Oakdale, and has executed a Cooperative Agreement with Oakdale for the reconstruction of the Oakdale lift station. With the completion of this project the approximately 75 acres located at Ideal Avenue, South of CSAH 14 will be sewer ready for development.
