I could not be more pi$$ed off than I am right now.. How stupid can a City Engineer be or even shady as to claim there is a frikin slope going east at this manhole..
He can modify what was said in the 2002 Feasibility Report shown below but it doesn't change the fact he installed a frikin FAILURE of a sewer system.. He's is a complete frikin joke and should be FIRED..
I can't stand a liar but a frikin liar that is also shady makes me see RED..
City Engineer Steven Jahnke needs to be FIRED.. He created a sewer that will backup instead of fixing it..   
County and City Leaders need see what taxpayer dollars are paying for..
Sewage doesn't run uphill..

No standing sewage on Newton Ave. and No standing sewage on James Ave..
Where is the Sag? 
The Brand New sewer system costing 100's of thousands of dollars located between Newton Ave and James Ave with standing sewage covering the inlet from S Virginia Pl and making it so crap has to climb 4-inches in the manhole to get to the pipe that flows to James Ave is the phucking sag..
Solids will eventually fill nearly half of the inlet coming from S Virginia Pl and tapering for 25 feet down Virginia Pl and backup into homes..
This is a negative slope(falls backwards) meaning it takes 1-foot of sewage at Virginia Pl to drain 1-inch at James Ave..
Jahnke thinks we're all Morons!!

I’m sorry it’s gotten so bad. I am glad that you are keeping on this, there is no excuse for what they are doing.
Even in the current version of the feasibility report they note the deficiency and what needs to be done to correct it, yet they chose to do something that they know would fail and was not correct. Sad.
I really hope the MPCA is looking into it and does something to the City to make them correct it. And if that is how the City Engineer is responding to things and dealing with this issue, I hope the Licensing Board also gets involved.
That is the ugliest page of plans I’ve ever seen. The plan view looks like it is just a removal page, but the profile has some install info it looks like. There should be a separate page for the new sanitary going in and a separate page for the new storm so a contractor can actually see what is going on and be able to build it. Check and see what the title of this page was in the title block and see if there is another one for just the sanitary sewer.
I hope someone owns up to this and gets things corrected, before someone has a sewage backup.

City Engineer Steve Jahnke knows a sanitary sewer lift station is needed for 6 properties.. To him the threat to the City is cheaper than the improvement..
Immunity only goes so far for these scumbags.. Especially before the known catastrophe ever happens..

Originally when it was designed and installed it must have been done right and worked without lift station. Now they cant figure out how to do that? Something is really wrong with this situation.
Any follow up by MPCA or licensing board?
Push the media to cover this insanity and waste of tax payer money!

Jahnke admitted that the hump on Broadway was totally designed by MNDot..
The original sag was 3 feet and they can't raise the line anymore than 2 feet without putting in a lift station or they put residents at severe risk of the sewer flooding their properties..
The area sank 1 foot from all the storm sewer flooding over the decades..

This really is a load of feces what they are knowingly doing. Really really sad.

I bet if Jahnke, or any of his staff, or any of the council lived down there, this would not be happening. I bet the situation would have been solved years ago and solved properly.
They all should go. Jahnke should resign if he cant do his job propertly, and the council and mayor should all resign for failure to do their duty . . . better their community and provide ALL residents with FUNCTIONING basic municipal services!
