Dear
This office is the City attorney for the City of Orono.
Perhaps our records are not correct, however, the City records
indicate that your residence or building at ...
has not yet been connected to the available municipal sewer
system. This letter is to inform you that if you are in fact
not now hooked up to City Sewer, you are in violation of the
Orono Municipal Code, Chapter 25, Section 25.160 which requires
the owners of all houses, buildings, or improved properties
where public sewer was available as of July 1, 1968, to connect
to said public sewer not later than December 31, 1969, and the
owners of all houses, buildings or improved properties where
public sewer became available after July 1, 1968 to connect to
said public sewer within sixteen (16) months after^e sewer was
made available. ' Orono Ordinance No. 210, Chapter 22.20, ^-l
reiterates this 16-raonth connection period requirement. Minnesota
Health Department regulations MHD 120(e) and 122(g) require the
connection to and use of public sewer facilities where they are
available.
This letter is final notice that the residence or
building indicated above must be booked to the municipal sewer
no later than August 1, 1979. Continued violation after that
date will result in a tag being issued to you. Such a violation
constitutes a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor may be punishable by
a fine of not more than $500.00 or other penalties pursuant to
the provisions of the statutes of the State of Minnesota. Each
day of violation or non-compliance shall constitute a separate
offense.

The City has previously given you what we feel is
ample notice that the sewer connection must be made. We shall
continue to provide all the help we can in accomplishing the
required work, but the deadline will not be extended. Please
cooperate in solving our mutual problem before a tag is issued.
If you are on a limited income and the connection will
create a financial burden, some assistance in the form of a
grant or loan may be available. Please contact John Gerhardson,
Public Works Director, Orono City Hall, at 473-7357. If our
records are incorrect and your building is hooked up, please
call Mike Gaffron at 473-7357 and inform him of that fact.
Very truly yours.
Bruce D. Malkerson
City Attorney
