WATERLINE REPAIRS
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move that the Hopkins City
Council adopt Resolution 2021-030 Approving Special Assessment for Waterline Repairs on
Private Property.
Overview:
As part of a leak detection survey a homeowner was required to have their waterline replaced.
The homeowner is required to make the repair based on Hopkins City Code. Following receipt
of estimated repair costs the homeowner signed an agreement on April 30, 2021 petitioning the
City to do the repairs and waiving their right to object to the assessment. The repairs were
completed at a total cost of $17,200. As part of the agreement a 10 year assessment at 4% was
proposed and agreed to.
Hennepin County requires the City to take specific action placing the assessment on the taxes.
This resolution accomplishes that requirement.
