RE: Psyks Sixth Addition
utilities and Street Improvement Project
Albertville, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Smude:
Attached you shall find a copy of the Specifications for the
above-referenced project. As I noted during our discussion of this
date, the City of Albertville belongs to the Joint Powers Water
Board which includes the cities of Albertville, st. Michael,
Hanover and Frankfort Township. The Joint Powers Water Board has
retained the services of MSA Consulting Engineers and MSA has
prepared a standard specification for use on all projects within
these four communities. The specification we have prepared
includes the Joint Powers Water Board standard specification. It
should be noted that this specification appears to be based on the
City Engineers Association's specification, but has been modified
to meet the requirements of the Joint Powers Water Board. We will
therefore assume, unless we hear differently from you, that the
requirement you listed as part of your plan review is deleted and
that the Joint Powers Water Board specifications we are utilizing
is acceptable.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
MEYER-ROHLIN, INC.

Date Examined: April 12, 1994
Date Received: April 4, 1994
SCOPE: This report covers the design of this project insofar as the safety and sanitary quality of the water for
public consumption may be affected, and applies to this project only and not to the entire system or any other
part thereof. The examination of plans is based upon the supposition that the data on which the design is based
are correct, and that necessary legal authority has been obtained to construct the project. The responsibility for
the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the project designer.
Approval is contingent upon satisractory disposition or any requirements inciuded with this report.
Water supply plans are examined with regard to the location, construction and operational features of the design
and maintenance of all parts of the system which may affect the safety and sanitary quality of the water.
Examination is based on the standards of this department.
This project consists of the installation of the following watermains:
1. 198 lineal feet of 6-inch ductile iron pipe.
2. 1,039 lineal feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe.
REQUIREMENT(S):
1. It is understood that the installation will be in accordance with previously approved specifications (City
Engineers Association of Minnesota, 1988 edition).
COMPLIANCE: No construction shall take place except in accordance with the approved plans. If it is desired
to make deviations from the approved plans, the State Department of Health should be consulted and approval
of the changes obtained before construction is started; otherwise, such construction is installed without proper
approval, and in addition may create dangers to public health.
Authorization for construction in accordance with the approved plans may be withdrawn if construction is not
undertaken within a period of two years. The fact that the plans have been approved does not necessarily mean
that recommendations or requirements for change will not be made at some later time when changed
conditions, additional information, or advanced knowledge make improvements necessary.
Approved:
