Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br /> RE: REQUEST TO HOOK-UP TO SEWER PROVIDED BY LONG LAKE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM <br /> PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2165 WATERTOWN ROAD, ORONO, MN <br /> Dear Members of the Council : <br /> I am hereby requesting permission from the City of Orono, the right to <br /> connect my proposed new residence at the above-mentioned address, to the <br /> Long Lake City sewer system. <br /> The City of Long Lake has written in their minutes of meeting held on June <br /> 17, 1986: (see attachment) <br /> "The Council further finds that the City of Long Lake is willing to <br /> allow adjacent properties in Orono to connect to its Sanitary Sewer <br /> System in appropriate cases." <br /> O Reasons for sewer: <br /> A. A public sewer system has a greatly reduced probability for problems, <br /> B. public sewer is considered as a permanent system, <br /> C. public sewer is treated with continued upgrading of effluent, <br /> D. public sewer reduces liability of soil contamination to property owner <br /> and municipality, <br /> E. public sewer assures best protection for water and environment quality, <br /> F. phosphates and nitrates are not left in the soils, <br /> G. there are high water tables on the subject property, <br /> H. there are fluctuations in the water table on the subject property, and <br /> after conversations with over 30 people in municipal , county, state, and <br /> federal agencies, the consensus is that sewer is the best and most common <br /> sense answer to this situation. <br /> While most concerned groups are not extremely interested in making sub- <br /> stantiated statements or "getting involved in a municipal matter", my research <br /> in the Industry shows strong favoritism of public sewer over a septic system <br /> as supported by the following: <br /> DNR / Steve Preston / 297-2404 <br /> Sewer is "the preferred system".
