be unfair to ask them to pay for sewer ccnstruc- <br />tion in the three cities. <br />The cost of sewage treatment will increase for <br />member cities when the three citier complete their <br />separation construction, while the treatment cost <br />for the three cities will go down because they no <br />longer will be paying to treat storm water. <br />All three cities have a timetable for separating <br />their sewers, using their own funds. These <br />timetables are to be compressed by state and <br />federal action. Only the costs of compression <br />should be considered as a state burden. All <br />principal costs should be borne by the three <br />affected cities. <br />An interest-liee loan for one-half of the cost of <br />construction, on, a matching basis, is equitable. <br />This might be accomplished -by Met Council bonding <br />to fund loans with interest being paid by the <br />state. (The loan fund would be approximately $110 <br />million; interest might to $40 million.) <br />
