Harrington r5etropolitan Waste Control Commission 350 Metro Square Building • " . _ 7th & Robert Streets St. Paul, 2'iinnesota 55101 � „Subject: Connections to the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor - Dear��Mr. Harrington: - - We have been advised of a reported rumor that a land developer owning property within the rural service area �f the City of Orono, adjacent to the routing of the Orono-1,ong Lake interceptor, has requested a private connection to the Orono-Long i�ake interceptor for his proposed development within Orono. If this rurnor is true, we would like to have a copy of his letter and some advise as to what the position is going to be of the 2ietropolitan Waste Control Commission in this matter.. it is�aur understanding that any corinections. by property owners • within the City of Orono .to the Orono-Long Lake interceptor must be by permit of the City of Orono. I would also like to have some reaffirraation froia you as to whether or not our understanding _ pertaining to connections to the Orono I.ong Lake interceptor are correct. If this rumor is true and if, as we understand, that the developer is threatening a lawsuit if a connection to the interceptor is denied him, confirms the City' s major concern about excess capacitv in the Orono-Long Zake interceptor that may tend to force the City and the Waste Control Comr.►ission _to urbanize lands that are to renain in the rural service area_ I'or this reason, the City feels very strongly that the sewer service area and the f lows for the Orono-Long Lake interceptor should be carefully delineated at this time so as to preclude this problem in the future.
