DASSEL, MN – Third Street in Dassel from Highway 12 to Simons Ave., just short of the industrial park, will be the location of a water main upgrade in the spring, according to action by the Dassel City Council this spring. To see a map of scheduled upgrades, click here.
Included in the work will be problematic sections of Pacific Avenue that have been known to cause issues for residents living there. Portions of Pacific feature 4-inch pipes, which are undersized. A new 8-inch water main will be installed. Work will extend from Pacific to Sellards, and from Third St. over to Second St.
Bids have not been let yet, and a timeframe of the work hasn’t been set.
Engineer Chuck DeWolf noted that the city qualified for a 10 percent base grant. The whole project will amount to $600,000, not counting the railroad crossing work. Ten percent of this will be the base grant, with the rest being a low interest loan.
Mayor Mike Scanlon said this money could cover the cost of fixing the railroad crossing, for which the BNSF Railroad is only willing to pay for 10 percent and the city the remaining 90 percent.
