Sewer Lining

In the spring thru fall of 2018, Public Works Sewer Utility will be rehabilitating deteriorated city owned sewers.  Instead of digging up the street and installing a new sewer pipe, the sewer will be repaired by installing a pipe liner within the existing sewer.  The sewer liner creates a new long-lasting pipe within the old sewer.

The City of St. Paul will be providing an update on stabilization of the “North Knob” within Lilydale Regional Park. The City received $925,000 in Disaster Relief Funds (DRAP) in early 2017. They have been working with the Ramsey Conservation District, Dakota County Conservation District, and Board of Soil and Water Resources to develop plans for bluff stabilization in this specific area and we would like to present the plans to the West Side community for comment.
