SL City Council approves repairs to storm, sanitary sewer systems

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/21/2017 - 8:51am

The Silver Lake City Council approved two repairs to the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems at its meeting Monday.
PeopleService, Inc., conducted smoke testing of the systems in May, which led to the discovery of potential issues. After televising the systems, three cross connections between the sanitary sewer and storm sewers were found, meaning storm water is flowing into the sanitary sewer.
The televising also showed that there was a substantial blockage in the storm sewer with roots, rocks and other debris.

Glencoe Days unofficially opens Thursday night with the arrival of the Midway rides, and official events get under way Friday evening and Saturday. Most events, with the exception of Saturday’s parade, are at Oak Leaf Park.
Town celebrations are a dwindling tradition in Minnesota, and perhaps throughout the country. In the past few years, Plato’s White Squirrel Days became a thing of the past.


Stop signs popping up all around town

It stopped me for a moment. A stop sign that is.
Nothing strange about that, except I was walking on Ives Avenue near the railroad tracks at the time. Stop signs are now posted on both sides of the tracks … along the pedestrian path.
Strange place for stop signs I thought. I later noticed more were posted at the Knight Avenue and another closed crossing farther to the east.
Are we having a problem with speedy, inattentive pedestrians, or bikers or techies with ear buds or headphones getting hit by passing trains?
