Dear Nei�hborhood Residents;
A pressure se«-er system is currently bei.na installed in your neighborhood. This sewer system is
available for hookup by neiahborhood residents on a voluntary basis at this time. You can continue
to use your eYisting septic system until the s�-stem fails or is required to be replaced because of it's
nonconformina status. The present deadline for the replacement of non conforming septic systems
is 2010. A conforming septic system can continue to be used until it either fails or is rendered
nonconfonning b�- future septic regulations_
The se«-er connection fee is currently 58,�00 and will be adjusted for inflation on an annual basis.
This connection fee can either be paid before connection to the sewer system or be assessed over a
1�-y-ear time period at a 6.2�%annual interest rate.A signed assessment waiver will be required if
you request to be assessed for the connection fee.
In addition to the connection fee,there is a onz rime SAC fee of$1,27�.This SAC fee increases on
an annual basis and is payment for the addiuonal costs of the future downstream capacity in the
Metropolitan Council Sewer System.
This pressure se�s-er system requires that each property owner install and maintain their own
indi�•idual�rinder pump station. A"proQressiz-e cavity"grinder pump will be required,and the City
needs to approi-e the pump that will be install� to ensure compatibilit}�with the sewer system. The
estimated propem- owner costs for the grindzr pump station, service connection, and septic tank
abandonment can range from 57,000 to 512,000 depending on the lenath of the service connection
required. The Cit�•'s current flat rate user chaTIIe for residential sew-er is approximately $90.00 per
quarter.

In the event that you aaze considering connection to the sewer system now, it may be cost effective
for you to hire the contractor who is working on the City project to directionally bore in your service
line from the curb stop at the street Right of Way line up to your grinder pump station location.This
will allow for an easier hookup for the licensed plumber who installs your grinder pump station. The
contractor completing this project is Red Pederson and he can be reached at 612-803-0547.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact me at 952-249-4621 should you have
any questions.
Sincerely;
