Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: 2660 Topeka, KS PSA
As you all know we have been fighting to come up with a sanitary sewer extension for this site. The closest sewer main is on the opposite side of our neighbor’s property. Our civil engineer has determined that based upon the existing site elevations we will not have enough fall to run our extension out to 29th street, down past our neighbor’s property line, then back south to the main. The illustration below shows the existing main (RED) and where it stops. Our extension (BLUE) and the route necessary to tap into the main. And last, a shortcut (GREEN) across our neighbor property. Obviously, this route would require an easement.
A pump/lift station is an option, but another concern that was brought up by the engineer is that to run our main extension (BLUE) would require cutting across our neighbor’s street approach as well as their entire parking lot. Unless our neighbor would agree to an easement, I’m not sure we can make this site work.
