I I I I I I I I I factors allow accurate determination of ultimate sewage flow and hence facility capacity without the need for arbitrary and expensive oversizing. 8: 1^ City sewer projects will serve existing development only. Municipal sewer laterals will be extended within the boundaries of the urban area to serve those few developed properties which are not presently served. The timing of such e.\tensions will be dictated by the nature and severity of any health of environmental problems as they may arise. These extensions will be undertaken as City projects with the majority of costs assessed against the benefiting prope.ties as has been the policy and practice of the City of Orono on aH past sewer projects. 9; 1^ New developments will be served by developer-installed laterals. Municipal sewer laterals may be extended w ithin the boundaries of the urban area to serv e new development on vacant properties provided the development occurs at the established zoned density, the development does not overburden or exceed the design capacity of the existing system, and the developer pays and finances the entire cost of the project. ■fO; The City will operate and maintain the urban sewer system. To assure cost effectiveness and quality control, the City will own, operate and maintain the entire urban sewer system of mains and laterals except for those lines operated by the MWCC as interceptors. 14717. All sewer-serviced properties must be connected. Consistent with the regulations of the Minnesota Health Department SHrte-Board of Health, and the MWCC MCES. every building intended for human habitation, occupancy or use shall be provided with suitable sanitary faci’ities and shall-be connected to the municipal sewer system whenever a sewer lateral serv es the property or is within a reasonable distance of the property. -IS; 18. City sewer service will be self-supporting. The operation, maintenance and depreciation financing of the municipal sanitary sewer system will be completely financed by user charges sufficient to cover all allocable costs without requiring any general tax subsidy. 48; 19. Sewage discharges will be regulated. Consistent with the rules and regulations of the MWCC MCES. the City will regulate excessiv e strength or hazardous material discharges; the City' will prohibit roof and foundation drainage discharges; and the City will actively monitor and control storm water infiltration. 14; 20.

Orono's urban sewer policies have impact on metropolitan facilities to the extent that the known sewage flow must be accommodated in the metropolitan interceptor. There is no adverse impact and no unplanned impact. CMP 6-19
