Upgrade requirements: (Minn. Stat. § 115.55) An imminent threat to public health and safety (ITPHS) must be upgraded, replaced,
or its use discontinued within ten months of receipt of this notice or within a shorter period if required by local ordinance. If the
system is failing to protect ground water, the system must be upgraded, replaced, or its use discontinued within the time required by
local ordinance. If an existing system is not failing as defined in law, and has at least two feet of design soil separation, then the
system need not be upgraded, repaired, replaced, or its use discontinued, notwithstanding any local ordinance that is more strict.
This provision does not apply to systems in shoreland areas, Wellhead Protection Areas, or those used in connection with food,
beverage, and lodging establishments as defined in law.
