Dear Neighborhood Residents;
A pressure se�t-er system is currently beina i.nstalled in your neighborhood. This sewer system is
available for hookup by neiahborhood residents on a�-oluntary basis at this time. You can continue
to use your eYisting septic s��stem until the s�-stzm 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
nonconformi.n� by 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 conneetion to the sewer system or be assessed over a
1�-y-ear time period at a 6.2�% annual intere�t rate. A si�ned assessment waiver will be required if
you request to be assessed for the connection fee.
In addition to the connection fee,there is a one rime S�C fee of$1,27�.This SAC fee increases on
an annual basis and is payment for the additional costs of the future downstream capacity in the
Metropolitan Council Se�•er System.
This pressure sewer system requires that each pro�rty owner install and maintain their own
indi��idual arinder pump station. A"proQrzssi�-e cavit�-"arinder pump w-ill be required,and the City
needs to appro�•e the pump that will be install� to ensure compatibilit}•wzth the sewer system. The
estimated property owner costs for the grindzr pump station, service connection, and septic tank
abandonment can range from�7,000 to �12,000 dependina on the lenath of the service connection
required. The City's current flat rate user cha.*-�e for residential se��-er is approximately $90.00 per
quarter.

In the event that you are 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;
