i • March 23, 1978 t Telephone 473-7357 C�m�af ORIONTO Post Office Box 66•Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323• Municipal Offices On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka fir. Bernard J. Harrington Metropolitan Waste Control Commission 350 Metro Square Building 7th & Robert Streets St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 - Dear Mr. Harrington: This letter is in response to your letter of March 15, 19781 concerning the Orono -Long Lake interceptor as presently proposed for the City of Orono. The comments made -in the last paragraph of your letter of March 15 indicate that the Waste Control Commission has provided answers to -questions raised by the City of Orono pertaining to the sewer service area of the Orono -Long Lake interceptor. The Waste Control Commission has not safisfactorily answered the question that the City of Orono has raised concerning the future capacity of the forcemain for that part of the sewer service area which lies out- side of the proposed MUSA line and in the rural service area. The information contained in your letter of March 1, 1978 does give us the capacity of the lift stations which are designed to handle the projected flow from that portion of Orono which lies within the urban service area. We have compared the flows and population equivalents for the lift stations contained in your letter of March 1. with Addendum #3 of the Engineering Report and the Orono Comprehensive Sewer Plan and they seem to be consistent. In other words, the projected flows of'the lift station would seem to provide a reasonable capacity for a twenty-year period for that part of the City of Orono which lies within.the urban service area. The question which the City has raised, which the Waste Control Commission has not provided an answer, is what is the future capacity and the population equivalents of the forcemain for that portion of the sewer service area which lies within the rural service area of the City of Orono. In other words, the City wishes to know what level of urbanization has been projected by the Waste Control Commission in the sizing of the forcemain to serve that portion of the sewer service area that lies in the rural service area of our City.
