As the Council is aware, the water transmission line delivering water from
Minneapolis to Crystal’s reservoir has failed in 2013 and 2014, creating
disruptions to Robbinsdale’s residents and business community. This year’s
repairs and replacement of that water main have created traffic difficulties for

city of Robbinsdale.

Crystal has sanitary sewer manhole covers throughout the system that are

from the sanitary sewer utility fund.
