AL O O O CITY of ORONO ti Municipal Offices Street Address: Mailing Address: `9$ESHQg' 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323.0066 To: Kenneth Potts, City Attorney From: Matt Bolterman, Orono Inspector f A. j Date: November 17, 2004 Property Owners: Thomas Baurle 2985 Watertown Rd Long Lake, MN 55356 Property Address: 2985 Watertown Rd PIN: 04-117-23-21-0001 Violation: Failing septic system to surface of ground Code violated: 58-75 (a) (3) "An ISTS found to be non-compliant because it is either failing or prohibited, as defined in section 58-43, shall be repaired or replaced within 90 days, if feasible,but in no case later than ten months after the date of the repair order." Background: Inspections found this property to have a failing septic system first in 2000. We (Orono and you) wrote letters to this individual on the following dates to get a new system installed: April 20, 2000 October 21, 2002 November 25, 2003 December 4, 2003 April 30, 2004 Action Requested: I would like you to send this individual a letter stating he must stop using their failing mound and use their septic tanks as holding tanks. The tanks must be pumped when they fill up over this winter and then a new septic system must be installed next spring(2005). To transform the septic tanks to holding tanks they must unplug the pump so sewage is no longer pumped to the mound and discharged to the surface of the ground They must set up a pumping contract, approve it with the city of Orono, with a septic pumper so we know that the tanks are being pumped over the winter. I would like to take them to court to make sure this gets done because letters from the City and from you have not gotten the system replaced.
