Access Considerations
• Our goal is to try to be accommodating as possible during
construction. (note: access can not be maintained at all times)
• Sidewalk will remain intact as long as possible to assist with access.
• We would like to know if you may require special access during
construction due to a disability.
• Do you receive deliveries that may be impacted by construction
such as meals on wheels.
City of Marshfield, Engineering Division
What to expect during construction?
• Private utility company’s will be replacing their utilities such as gas.
• Dusty, noisy, muddy (water is sometime used to keep the dust
down).
• The Engineering Division will have staff on site during construction
for inspection (you may bring your concerns to their attention also).

Sanitary Sewer Lateral
Replacement Policy
•
Now would also be a good time to review the condition of your sanitary sewer lateral.
•
The City of Marshfield Waste Water Utility will televise your sanitary sewer lateral at
no cost to the homeowner.
– Access to the cleanout is necessary
– If you have had root problems in the past they will need to be removed before the
televising can be effective.
•
As part of the project the City will be replacing all sanitary sewer service laterals
within the right of way as a part of this project..
•
To schedule the televising please contact the Marshfield Wastewater Treatment Plant
at (715) 591-2022.
Sanitary Sewer Lateral – Private property replacement pilot program.
•
–
The City of Marshfield will forgive the special assessment for the “Sanitary Sewer Lateral” ONLY (the portion
from the main to inside the property line if the property owner replaces the remaining sanitary sewer lateral
into the basement.

• Coordinate utility replacement and other construction
plans you may have.
• Ask questions; inform staff of your concerns.

Resident / Business Questionnaire
Information we need from the property owners for design
•
Items not located by Diggers Hotline.
•
Sump pump discharge service line – Does your property have a sump pump and
where does it discharge?
•
Roof storm water collection is this piped through the building and where does it exit.
This will help us determine where storm water laterals should be placed and the size
required.
•
Private underground utilities - Buried irrigation systems or buried underground power
(owned by the property owner).
•
Issues that you believe should be reviewed in the design process that could impact
construction.
•
If there are unknowns to any of the items noted above we are very willing to assist
you in determining where such services exit your building.
The more we know helps keep costly change orders to a minimum and reduces construction delays.
City of Marshfield, Engineering Division
Property Owner Contact Information
•
During the design and construction process questions do arise for our
designers and construction inspectors.
•
Having your contact information will help our staff address issues in a timely
and efficient manner.
•
Please verify your information on our mailing labels. Make any corrections
necessary and please provide the following information. (if you know your
neighbors information and they could not make it to this meeting please
provide what you can).
•
We have forms in the back to fill out which are a tremendous help if
questions arise during the design process.
