MCES Project Webpage Posting <br /> Metropolitan Council Public Hearing: <br /> Lake Minnetonka Area Regional Interceptor Improvements Draft Facility Plan S <br /> Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 <br /> Time: 7:00 p.m. <br /> Location: Online <br /> The Metropolitan Council will hold an online public hearing to inform the public about and to accept <br /> comments on its Draft Facility Plan for improvements to the regional wastewater system in the Lake <br /> Minnetonka area. The Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services Division (MCES) prepared the <br /> Draft Facility Plan. <br /> For information about the project and instructions for logging into or calling into the online public <br /> hearing on Dec. 15, go to www.metrocouncil.org/sewerconstruction/LakeMtkaFacilityPlan or call the <br /> project phone number at 952-960-7765. <br /> The Draft Facility Plan for this project outlines the existing conditions of MCES's wastewater collection <br /> infrastructure, identifies needed improvement projects, discusses alternatives studied for the projects, <br /> and provides the reasons that support our resulting recommendations. These projects will allow MCES <br /> to continue to provide sufficient and reliable wastewater collection for the period 2020 to 2030. The <br /> Draft Facility Plan also provides projections for anticipated 2040 wastewater flows. <br /> Wastewater from the Lake Minnetonka area is conveyed through a series of regional sanitary sewers <br /> within the local communities to the MCES regional wastewater treatment plant(Blue Lake Plant) in <br /> Shakopee. This system of regional sanitary sewers consists of sewer pipes and pumping stations. To <br /> provide sufficient capacity for future growth and provide reliable wastewater conveyance for the region, <br /> this system needs to be maintained and upgraded due to age and wear. No expansion of the regional <br /> sanitary sewer system is proposed in this Draft Facility Plan. <br /> Alternatives considered for the projects include: 1) status quo (maintaining the system as-is), 2) <br /> rehabilitation of the facilities, and 3) replacement of the facilities with new facilities. <br /> Copies of the Draft Facility Plan, a plan summary, project area maps, and the public hearing <br /> presentation slides will be available for the public to review after Nov. 15, 2020, at the project webpage: <br /> www.metrocouncil.org/sewerconstruction/LakeMtkaFacilityPlan.The Draft Facility Plan also will be <br /> available for the public to review during regular business hours at: <br /> • Deephaven City Hall, 20225 Cottagewood Rd., Deephaven <br /> • Orono City Hall, 2750 Kelley Pkwy., Orono <br /> • Shorewood City Hall, 5755 Country Club Rd., Shorewood <br /> • Excelsior Library, 337 Water St., Excelsior <br /> 390 Robert Street North I St. Paul, MN 55101-1805 S <br /> Phone 651.602.1000 I Fax 651.602.1550 I TTY 651.291.0904 I metrocouncil.org METROPOLITAN <br /> COUNCIL <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
