The septic system is older and was <br />planned to be upgraded by the new owner at some point. <br />The Mound property is currently undergoing reconstruction, and during meetings with the City of <br />Mound a suggestion was made by Mound staff that city services could possibly be run to the island <br />during construction of the Shorewood Lane property. <br />Mound staff, including Planning and Public Works have indicated a willingness to provide City <br />utility services to Deering Island, provided the City of Orono agreed and approved. <br />It was identified that a requirement of approval would include extending MUSA boundaries to <br />include Deering Island.An informal conversation with the Met Council indicated such an extension <br />would be possible. <br />In speaking with City of Orono staff,it appears an extension of City services to the island would be <br />consistent with Orono’s policy of providing lakeshore properties with municipal sewer (and water).
