Forecasts <br />The forecasts of population, households, employment, and wastewater flows for Lino Lakes <br />can be found on your Community Page in the Local Planning Handbook. These forecasts are <br />for sewered development. The sewered forecasts were estimated using Met Council’s census <br />block forecast data, individual and communal sewage treatment system data, Sewer <br />Availability Charge (SAC) data, annual city reports, current trends, existing and future local <br />wastewater service areas and other municipal information. The wastewater flows are based on <br />historical wastewater flow data, future wastewater generation rates, and the sewered <br />population and employment forecast data. <br />The Met Council will use these growth and wastewater flow forecasts to plan future regional <br />wastewater conveyance and treatment system improvements needed to serve your <br />community. <br />Lino Lakes, through its comprehensive planning process, must decide the location and staging <br />of development, and then plan and design its local wastewater collection system to serve this <br />development. <br />Wastewater Service <br />Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (Environmental Services) designs, constructs, <br />and operates the regional wastewater system (Metropolitan Disposal System): a publicly <br />owned system of regional sanitary sewers and water resource recovery facilities(wastewater <br />treatment plants), for the conveyance, treatment and disposal of domestic waste, industrial <br />waste and other waste from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial users in the <br />metropolitan area. The regional wastewater system currently serves 111 communities and <br />through its work it protects public health, protects the environment, and fosters the economic <br />growth of the seven-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. <br />A Regional Sanitary Sewer System map is provided to assist in the completion of your <br />community’s comprehensive sewer plan. The map shows Environmental Services’ wastewater <br />infrastructure located within your community’s boundaries, if your community is provided <br />regional wastewater service. <br />A complete list of items required for inclusion in your community’s comprehensive sewer plan, <br />depending on wastewater service methods in your community, can be found in the Local <br />Planning Handbook. A comprehensive plan will be found incomplete for review if all submittal <br />requirements are not met. <br />If your community has multiple methods of wastewater service (including regional service, local <br />(municipal) wastewater treatment system, private communal systems, and/or subsurface <br />sewage treatment systems), review the information in each corresponding section and refer to <br />the Local Planning Handbookfor a complete list of requirements that must be included in the <br />comprehensive sewer plan for these systems. We strongly encourage you to include this <br />information in a water chapter of your comprehensive plan. <br />2025 SYSTEM STATMENTWATER RESOURCES24 <br /> <br />
