Box 66 May , Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 Josephine B. Carpenter PO Box 659 Wayzata MN 55391 Dear Ms. Carpenter: I am writing this letter in response to your phone call from several weeks ago regarding 480 Russell Avenue in Orono. I apologize for the lack of timeliness of this letter but it is very difficult at this time of year to get enough "quiet" time to get letters out. You had mentioned over the telephone that you spoke to someone other than me a few years ago. You had spoken with Greg Gappa, the Public Works Director at the time. Mr. Gappa is no longer with the city. You mentioned that you had talked to him about the possibility of hooking into municipal sewer. I can no longer offer the possibility of hooking up to municipal service. At the time you spoke with Mr. Gappa, the Met Council (They regulate the metro sewer system) was allowing certain properties that were on the edge of the serviceable area to be hooked up if desired. They are no longer allowing us to do this. They are actually resisting the city to hook up properties to municipal sewer in areas that are in the serviceable area. To update the property at 480 Russell you need to start with a septic system designer. You may find names in the yellow pages or a name way be given to you from whom ever has been servicing the septic tanks. Once the design is done, you then pick an installer and the installer applies for the permit to put the septic system in. I hope this answers your basic questions and if you need any further assistance please feel free to call. Sincerely, . �•.�!�� Willie Gibbs Building Inspector Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-461b www.ci.orono.mn.us
