Chapter 7: Sanitary Sewer and Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />Frequently Asked Questions <br />What is the purpose of the Sanitary Sewer and Water Supply Plans? <br />The purpose of these plans is to identify municipal sewer and water improvements necessary to <br />accommodate Lino Lakes' future growth consistent with the Land Use and Utility Staging Plans. <br />Will I be forced to "hook -up" to municipal sewer and water services? <br />No, existing residents will not be forced to connect to new sanitary sewer and water infrastructure unless <br />your septic system fails and services are available. It is the City's policy to permit unsewered residential <br />properties to remain as long -term land uses, and to extend sanitary sewers into unsewered subdivisions <br />only at the request of the property owners or as part of a trunk line extension. Those residents who <br />would like to connect to sanitary sewer and water when infrastructure is available will be able to do so <br />and will be assessed; however no one will be forced to connect to sanitary sewer and water services <br />when available. Should you choose to connect to municipal sewer and water at a later date, you will be <br />assessed at that time. The exception is if a property has a failing septic system, it will be required to <br />connect to the municipal sewer system if available. <br />Who will pay for sewer and water services as the City grows? <br />Sewer and water infrastructure needed to service new growth will not be subsidized by existing Lino <br />Lakes residents. City policy requires new developments to pay all capital improvement costs for sewer <br />and water infrastructure, including lateral sewer and water mains to serve new subdivisions. Sewer and <br />water connection charges applied to new development will provide funding for the construction of future <br />trunk sewers and water mains, water towers, and wells. <br />Why does the Future Sanitary System /Water Supply System map show a lift station /well <br />house /water tower on my house? <br />The Sanitary System and Water Supply maps are conceptual only, showing the general vicinity where <br />future facilities will be needed. When future facilities are constructed, detailed plans that take into <br />consideration existing development, topography, wetlands, and other site features will be developed to <br />show the exact location. <br />
