Dear Mr. & Mrs. Nicklo�v:
The above described property is in a Metropolitan Urban Service Area(MUSA) for sanitary sewer
installation. The factors for initi�ting 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
svstem 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�vill need to connect to the sanitary sewer system no later than December 31, 2007, which
is the date your septic system�vas to bc upgraded. A Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) fec will need to
be paid to tlle City in the ycar the se��er connection is made. A licensed plumber must then obtain a
pennit from tlie City to make the connection from the residence to the actual se�ver line.
tf at any time before December 31, 2008 the residence undergo's a remodeling project that will increase
t11c total w�ater use, the residence must then connect to the sanitary se���er system. If at any time before
the zbove date the system is failing, the residence must then immediately connect to the sanitary se�ver
systcm.
Minor maintenance can and should still be conducted on your septic system. Pumping the septic tanlcs,
repairing or replacing pumps, and replacement of septic tank baffles are examples of acceptable repairs.
If the septic system needs major maintenance, such as septic tank replacement or drainfield replacement,
connection to thc sauitary se�ver system will be required.
If there are any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (612) 2�9-4600.
