Dear Nei�hborhood Residents;
The City of Orono has selected a directional boring contractor to complete the pressure sewer
installation project in the North Long Lake East neighborhood. This project consists of
directional boring a pressure se�ver line north of the existing houses, and the provision of a
service stub for each house. Directional boring of the sewer should result in minimal disturbance
to your property. The only excavations required will be at the service stub, and flushing
connection stations. These locations are circled on the attached plans. There may also be minimal
disturbance in the areas where the contractor sets up the directional boring machine. All
disturbed areas will bz restored as part of this project. The project schedule is to have the sewer
installed by June 1 st.
Connection to the se�i-er is not required, but the system will be available for future hookup upon
payment of a connection fee. �I'he current connection fee is $11,000 per unit. This connection fee
is updated each year to account for inflationary increases. In addition to the City connection fee,
there is also a Servicz Availability Ch�rge (SAC) fee that is collected by the City then remitted to
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. This fee covers the capital costs for additional
sewer capacity that is included in the metropolitan interceptor sewers and �vastewater treatment
plants for fi.rture se«-er connections. This is a pressure sewer system, and each property owner is
required to install, operate, and maintain their own private residential grinder pump station.
The City will need to acquire a 20-foot��zde permanent sewer easement acro�s your property for
the installation and future maintenance of the sewer. We would like to obtain a "Right of Entry"
to allo��-access on }�our property to complete the project construction. After the sewer is
installed, the eYact pipe location��ill be sur��ey�ed and a legal description developed for an
easement document_
