SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION

The city's sanitary system was originally constructed in the 1940's. This system still includes 2,600' of clay pipe sewer main and 6,300' of "white" PVC service lines. These clay and white PVC pipes have reached their serviceable life. A recent report found that the deterioration of older pipes and joints has caused excessive volume of inflow and infiltration and inflow that reduces efficiency and increases treatment fees. This excessive inflow is due primarily to degradation of older pipes and separation at joints. 

The City of Kandiyohi is seeking $4,240,000 to reconstruct sewer lines that are aged and allowing excessive inflow and infiltration.
