Dear Ms. Fisk:
The above described property is in a Metropolitan Urban Service Area(MUSA) for sanitary sewer
installation. The factors for initiating the sewer project were smaller lot sizes and non-compliant septic
systems with limited replacement sites available. The residence was required to connect to the sewer
system no later than February 14, 2000. Recently, the City Council adopted a resolution allowing all
sewer connections to coincide�vith the septic system upgrade time frame. The time frame for a septic
system upgrade is seven to ten years from the inspection date dependant upon the property's location.
Your property will need to connect to the sanitary sewer system no later than December 31, 2008, which
is the date your septic system was to be upgraded. A Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) fee will need to
be paid to the City in the year the sewer connection is made. A licensed plumber must then obtain a
permit from the City to make thc connection from the residence to the actual sewer linc.
If at any time before December 31, 2008 the residence undergo's a remodeling project that will increase
tlie total water use,the residence must then connect to the sanitary sewer system. If at any time before
the above date the system is failing,the residence must then immediately connect to the sanitary sewer
system.
Minor maintenance can and should still be conducted on your septic system. Pumping the septic tanks,
repairing or replacing pumps, and replacement of septic tank baffles are etamples of acceptable repairs.
If the septic system needs major maintenance, such as septic tank replacement or drainfield replacement,
connection to the sanitary sewer system will be required.
