Action Requested
Provide policy direction on providing sewer service to existing developments outside of Urban Service
Area.
Background/Discussion
There are a number of developments in Elk River served by privately-owned cluster septic systems. These
systems are permitted through the MPCA.
We have received a request from the Home Owners Association of Windsor Park 3rd Addition to
consider extending city sewer service to them so they can decommission their existing treatment system
rather than making substantial investments into improvements to maintain compliance of their permit.
Provided it is the desire of the Council to consider extending service to accommodate these requests,
some policy questions should be considered:
■ What commitment should be in place before we initiate a full Feasibility Study and incur costs
■ Special property assessments or petition waivers
■ Should water service be required at the same time
■ Trunk utility costs
■ Ownership of existing collection system
Financial Impact
None
Attachments
