Dean Johnson <br />April 30, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />Per our standard practice, when you do connect the homes to sewer and water, fees to be <br />collected by Orono will include the standard pass -through Met Council Sewer <br />Availability Charge ($2,000 per unit for 2009) phis Orono sewer and water connection <br />permits ($50 each) and purchase of a City of Orono water meter ($350400 typ.). Orono <br />will read the water meters on a quarterly basis and bill the residents for usage charges on <br />a quarterly basis. We are aware that Long Lake may wish to have some level of direct <br />involvement in the meter reading and billing process - that is an issue that the two cities <br />have yet to resolve. The cities of Orono and Long Lake have been discussing an <br />update/revision of existing sewer and water agreements for a number of years. The <br />eventual result of these discussions is not expected to have any impact on your ability to <br />connect to and use the sewer and water systems. <br />Please contact me at 952-249-4622 if you have further questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael P. Gaffron <br />Asst.
