CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan <br /> 4. Orono will provide municipal sewer extensions to lakeshore areas and non-lakeshore areas <br /> within the MUSA when it is determined that municipal sewer is preferable to long-term use of <br /> on-site sewage treatment systems. <br /> 5. The costs of extending municipal sewer to existing neighborhoods will be borne primarily by <br /> the property owners being served. <br /> 6. The costs of extending municipal sewer to serve new residential and nonresidential <br /> development will be borne entirely by the developer. <br /> FUTURE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM <br /> Orono's Plan for future sewer facilities includes upgrades to certain existing local sewer facilities, <br /> expansions of the system to service properties currently in the MUSA, and retrofitting a small number of <br /> existing neighborhoods with municipal sewer service. These system improvements and expansions are <br /> not expected to require additional capacity allocation in metropolitan sewer facilities. <br /> MUSA Expansion <br /> The city proposes a minor expansion of the MUSA within the time period covered by this plan. <br /> This addition is shown on Map 4B-2 as area 51. Future demands on the sanity sewer system will <br /> come as areas within the existing MUSA develop. While the City has no staged development plan, <br /> and currently has not scheduled projects outside the existing MUSA,any future MUSA expansions <br /> will be considered within the context of the following guidelines: <br /> The city will use the priorities outlined in Table 4B-12 to assess whether or not to request a MUSA <br /> expansion from the Metropolitan Council. <br /> Table 4B-12: MUSA Expansion Priorities <br /> Priority 1 Properties that abut the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and all other Orono lakes <br /> Properties that abut City-protected tributaries, and all other properties within the <br /> Priority 2 Shoreland Overlay District <br /> Existing substandard developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed <br /> prior to 1985 that have failing septic systems abd do not have an alternative site available <br /> Priority 3 to replace said system. <br /> Priority 4 New development using clustering that permanently preserves blocks of open space. <br /> Conforming developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed prior to 1985 <br /> that have failing septic systems and do not have an alternative site available to replace <br /> Priority 5 said system. <br /> Priority 6 New or existing development not covered by priorities 1, 2, 3,4, or 5. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 13 <br />
