I I I Of new aubdivisio n3 in Orono's rural service area have sufficient lot area available to provide ample abso rptio n a rea for permanent reliance on standa rd dra inficid treneh dispo sa l on-site sewage treatment systems. In the isolated cases where such area is not available, innovative approac hes will be required to avoid the premature extension of municipal sewers. The on-site industry is ever-changing. On the horizon mav be sewage treatment methods that do not rely on site/soil conditions for proper sewage treatment. However, even if the provision ofdr ainfield sites on each residential propertv becomes no longer necessary. Orono will not abandon it's commitment to low-densitv residential development for the protection of La ke Minnetonka. The Cit> of Orono is committed to assuring that on-site systems work properly and permanently and that any operating problems are promptly corrected by the individual property' owner before becoming a neighborhood liability.
