I. Introduction The City Council has requested this report to determine the feasibility of constructing sanitary sewer improvements for the North Long Lake and Long Lake Country Club areas, as shown on Figure 1. The lots in the area are generally small and it is difficult for the homeowners to provide a suitable area for replacing their on-site systems. The City of Orono conducted a study to determine if there were neighborhoods in Orono which should be provided with municipal sewer rather than have the neighborhoods upgrade their existing septic systems. North Long Lake and Long Lake Country Club were two of the ten identified neighborhoods in Orono designated as “rural” (unsewered) area. North Long Lake and Long Lake Country Club have smaller rural lot sizes, proximity to lake shore and other factors that suggest municipal sewer service is preferable to long term septic system usage. There are presently 30% of the existing homes in ti'.e Long Lake Country Club and 77% in North Long Lake that have no alternative sites available for a new system. The City has held three neighborhood meetings with the residents to attain input and develop a workable solution for solving the problem. This report describes the sanitary improvements required to completely serve the two developments. The proposed sanitary sewer and force main improvements are presented on Figures 2 and 3. The costs of the proposed improvements are presented in the appendices and a cost summary is presented in the Cost Analysis section. N Sanitary Sewer Improvements
