WHO: <br />WHAT: <br />\IEETESG NOTICE AND INVITATION <br />Residents of "Edgewood Hills", "Fox Ridge" and "East Long Lake <br />Neiehborhoods (see map) <br />Public Information Meeting <br />WHEN: Thursday, July 27, 1995, 7:(X) p.m. <br />WHERE: Orono Council Chambers, 2780 Kelley Parkway <br />WHY: Possibility of Municipal Sewer Installation <br />Why Are Municipal Sewers Being Considered? <br />State of Minnesota septic system regulations and Orono ordinances require Uiat <br />septic systems be brought up to code within 2 years of identification. It is est^ted that <br />many as 50% of Orono’s existing septic systems are nonconforming by State stand^s and wil <br />have to be replaced. Typically, new mound type drainfield systems wiU be required, at a cost <br />of $7,000-10,000 for the average home. <br />During 1994 the City placed a moratorium on requiring replacement of nonconforming systeim, <br />and conducted a study to determine if there are neighborhoods m Orono whitn should <br />provided with municipal sewer rather than upgrading their septic systems This took mto <br />account the age, design and condition of existing septic systems, as well as the availability o <br />area on each lot for system replacement. <br />Edgewood Hills, Fox Ridge and East Long Lake are three of 10 neighborhoods identified where <br />small lot sizes (typically smaller than 2 acres), proximity to lakeshore or other <br />that municipal rewer may be preferable to long term septic system usage. Wito your <br />neighborhoods, it is anticipated that a significant percentage of the existmg septic^'stenu rwy <br />need to be upgraded, although this need has not yet been thoroughly evaluated <br />three neighbourhoods are not adjacent to the lake and are outside the defined "Shoreland distnct. <br />How Much Would Sewer Cost? <br />Over the past fifteen years, municipal sewer has been extended to a number of individual Orono <br />neighborhoods with conditions similar to those in your neighborhood. The cost of <br />sewer to those neighborhoods ranged from SIO.OOO to $25,000 per dwelling umt_ In the m«t <br />recent projects the City assisted by paying a portion of that cost for the benefited property <br />owners.
