CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Numerous complaints have been received from residents
along Belvan Street, from Olive Street to Base Line Street, over
the problems created by failing septic tanks. The existence of
problems has been verified by City personnel.
The residents have requested that a sewer main be in-
stalled in this block of Belvan Street, in order to allow the
failed septic tanks to be abandoned.
EDA personnel have been working with the residents to
ascertain what economic assistance, if any, may be available to
help finance the cost of connecting, and how many residents would
actually connect to the sewer main, if available. The residents
have indicated that many would connect.
One problem that has been created in the past as a result
of installing a sewer main was that properties within 200 feet
would be compelled to pay the monthly sewer service fee. A
recent amendment to the San Bernardino Municipal Code eliminated
this requirement.
A preliminary estimate of $65 , 000 , for the total project
cost, has been prepared by the Department of Public Works. This
estimate includes only the sewer main, and another source of
funds will need to be identified.
One source of funds for this sewer main is the unappro-
priated reserve in the Sewer Maintenance Fund.
I recommend that the expenditure of $65 , 000 from these
unappropriated funds be approved.
URGENCY CLAUSE:
The failed septic tanks have the potential to create a health
hazard. Therefore, it is imperative that this item be considered
as soon as possible.
