Administrator Green provided an update on meetings with Richmond School regarding their I & I
issues. The school representatives stated they will televise their system to identify problems and work
with the Village. They claim to have a grease trap but do not prepare food on-site, suggesting a
classroom experiment may have led to foaming issues. Green also reported that Willow Springs has
committed to televising their system in the spring to address their I & I issues. The village will follow up
with both Willow Springs a nd Richmond School to ensure the work is done during the rainy season to
better identify infiltration issues. No action taken.
Discussion & necessary action re: status update on Lift Stations.
Administrator Green stated Richmond School has requested delaying any chemical treatment until
2027 as they haven’t budgeted for it in 2026. The estimated cost was approximately $50,000 for ice
picking and around $30,000 for the chemical agent. The commi ttee discussed the need to confirm
with Sussex that the chemical treatment would be acceptable for their system and to understand the
logistics of handling waste after treatment. Committee member Eberle suggested getting cost
proposals before Labor Day so the school could budget for it in 2027 and recommended letting the
school know that there is no guarantee the treatment will work. No action taken.
Discussion & necessary action re: Sewer Service Area amendment.
Administrator Green reported that Foth will attend the upcoming Plan Commission meeting to discuss
“Focus Area 1” of the five focus areas for the sewer service amendment. This area is around Richmond
School and will involve reviewing proposed watershed boundaries. Foth will seek the Plan
Commission’s input on the service area boundaries but won’t address density or feasibility concerns
yet. No action taken.
Discussion & necessary action re: possible future updates to Sewer Service Code.
Trustee Beal expressed concerns about the current policy that homeowners pay for grinder pumps
installed after July 1, 2020. She will meet with Administrator Green regarding potential changes to the
code, but Green noted that major code revisions are on hold pending the sewer service area work. No
further action taken.
New Business
Discussion & necessary action re: Sewer hookup options for LSBT 0193.017.
Administrator Green presented options for providing sewer service to a vacant lot on Gulf View Road.
The property owner indicated the ground won’t percolate for a septic system, making sewer
connection the only viable option. Two options were discussed with Engineer Neitzel : 1. extending a
sewer main 400 feet to serve Bramble Drive and extending a force main north along Gulf View Rd. 2.
Installing individual private force mains. Engineer Neitzel explained that the Sanitary District previously
wasn’t interested in allowing another private force main in the ditch and preferred routing on the road,
which would require repaving. The committee expressed concern about the existing arrangement of
multiple private force mains and requested that Engineer Neitzel explore whether gravity sewer service

could be extended to the area by going further south of manhole 2 and potentially laying pipe deeper
to gain sufficient elevation. No action taken.
Discussion & necessary action re: Stop Sign placement in Lake Five Farms subdivision.
Administrator Green presented a map showing proposed stop sign placements for the Lake Five Farms
subdivision. The proposed placements are on Mei ssner Way approaching Lake Five Road, Lake Five
Rd onto Mei ssner Way approaching Sunflower Pass, and Sunflower Pass approaching Meadow Bliss
Drive. Green explained that there would not be any stop signs coming off the c ul-de-sacs. The
committee reviewed and agreed with the placement of the stop signs without formal action.
Discussion & necessary action re: whether to repair failed grinder pump vs. purchase a new pump.
Administrator Green provided information on a failed grinder pump that would cost $2 ,100 to repair
versus $3,000 to purchase new. The failed pump was about 14 years old with rusted bearings and
deteriorated housing with no evidence of homeowner negligence. Green recommended purchasing
a new pump rather than replacing the old one. The committee discussed cost effectiveness and the
quantity of grinder pump spares. Motion made by Eberle, second by Moonen, to approve the purchase
a new grinder pump at a cost of $3,028. Motion carried unanimously.
Items to be Placed on a Future Agenda
The committee requested the following item for next month’s agenda:
• Creating a policy for grinder pump replacement when repair costs exceed 50% of new pump
cost
Clerk Cappozzo reviewed the remaining topics coming back to the Committee next month :
• Update on Ongoing I & I issues
• Update on Lift Stations
• Update on Sewer Service Area Amendment
• Update on Sewer Service Code
• Update on Sewer hookup options for LSBT 0193.017
No further additions were requested.
Adjournment
There being no further business, motion by Eberle, second by Mueller, to adjourn the meeting at 6:00
p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
Committee/Board Public Works & Utility Cmte / Village Board
Topic: Sewer Hookup – Golf View Road
From: Daniel Green
Department: Administration
Presenter: Daniel Green
Date of Village Board Action: N/A
INFORMATION
The Village received an inquiry from the owner of parcel LSBT 0193.017, a vacant lot on Golf View
Lane. The owner asked about options for connecting the property to the sewer system,
including the process involved and the associated costs. He also asked wh ether the parcel
could undergo perk testing to determine if a septic system might be feasible instead. Don
provided updated cost estimates for two options that would be funded by the Village and
specially assessed to the benefiting properties. Two addition al options would be paid for
directly by the property owner or developer.
Option 1 involves extending the existing 8-inch sewer main 400 feet east to allow direct lateral
connections along Bramble Drive, along with installing a force main and shared grinder pump
within the right-of-way for lots 7, 8, and 9. On Golf View Lane, lots 3, 10 , and 11 would receive 4 -
inch laterals connected to the gravity sewer south of lot 12, with a shared grinder pump serving
those three lots. The estimated total project cost is $264,270, to be assessed across nine homes.
Option 2 would extend only a 4 -inch sewer lateral to lots 3, 10, and 11, with a shared grinder
pump for those properties. The estimated cost for this option is $79,800, to be shared among
the three owners.
Option 3 allows the developer to install a private lateral to the main, along with a privately
owned grinder pump. This option enables sewer service without cost -sharing among
neighboring properties, but places full responsibility for installation and ongoing maintenance
on the homeowner.
Option 4, which the property owner is also considering, is to conduct soil testing to determine
whether a septic system could be supported on the site. The Village may also determine that
the property is not serviceable by sewer, in which case a septic system coul d be permitted.

VILLAGE OF LISBON | GRINDER PUMP REPAIR & REPLACEMENT POLICY | PAGE 1 OF 2
POLICY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE
FAILED GRINDER PUMPS
I. PURPOSE
To show a consistent and standardized process for the evaluation of whether to repair or replace grinder
pumps that have failed within the Village of Lisbon’s sewer utility district. This policy is intended to provide
a standard procedure for staff to identify whether a situation warrants repair or replacement while
maintaining appropriate fiscal responsibility.
II. STATEMENT OF POLICY
The Village of Lisbon’s Public Works & Utility Committee and Village Board deem it important to provide
quality service and value to all sewer utility customers.
III. POLICY
Determinations for whether to repair or replace a failed grinder pump will be evaluated utilizing the
following process:
1. When a grinder pump fails, DPW Director will request the current vendor to evaluate the failed pump
to determine whether repair is possible and a cost estimate for any potential repairs.
2. Director will also request the vendor to provide a quote for a new replacement pump.
3. Once staff is in receipt of both the repair and replacement quotes, a comparison should be made to
determine the cost difference between the two.
4. When a failed grinder pump is determined to be repairable and the estimated cost of repair is 50% or
less than the cost of a replacement, the failed pump shall be repaired.
5. When a failed grinder pump is determined to not be repairable, the failed pump shall be replaced.
6. When a failed grinder pump is determined to be repairable and the estimated cost of repair is 51% or
more than the cost of a replacement, then a replacement pump shall be ordered.
7. The DPW Director will include the status of any repairs or replacements in his/her monthly staff reports
to the Public Works & Utility Committee (PWC).
8. Deviation from this procedure requires prior written approval by the PWC Chair or Village President.
Village of Lisbon Public Works and Utility Committee hereby recommends approval and adoption by the
