Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Chapter VI - Wastewater Facilities
WASTEWATER FACILITIES
Sanitary Sewer System
Background
The City of Lake Elmo's sewer plan is based on the Memorandum of Understanding
approved by the City of Lake Elmo and the Metropolitan Council dated January 27, 2005.
This plan meets the intent of that agreement.
Existing Sanitary Sewer
The Southeast 1/4 of Section 33 is within the MUSA Boundary at this time. By
agreement with the City of Oakdale this area discharges to a City of Oakdale sanitary
sewer main in Hudson Boulevard. From there is enters the WONE interceptor. Under
the agreement with the City of Oakdale, Lake Elmo is limited to the amount it can
discharge.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
The MCES plans to extend a new sewer connection for the City of Lake Elmo to serve
the east 1/2 of Section 33 and the southwest 1/4 of Section 34 in sometime after 2007.
The connection will be near the City's existing lift station, and that lift station will
continue to be active and maintained by the City.
The MCES will extend the Cottage Grove Ravine interceptor to serve the remainder of
the City south of 10th Street, and the Old Village area in sometime after 2007. However,
full capacity of that pipe will not be realized until 2010 when downstream improvements
are made. This should not affect the City's staging plans for municipal sewer service.
The City will extend a forcemain from the MCES interceptor to the Old Village Area.
This forcemain will be designed to serve the planned 600 900 new units, 500 200 existing
units and a yet to be determined number of future units. The City plans to build this
forcemain in 2006 orsometime after 2007.
The remainder of the City south of 10th Street, except Cimarron, will be served by
gravity sanitary sewer beginning in 2015. It is not certain when Cimarron will connect to
the regional sewer. Cimarron will need to install a lift station in order to be served by
regional sewer
The existing units in Cimarron are assumed to be served by regional sewer between 2015
and 2030. That flow is not included in the forecasts. ·
The existing homes and business in the Old Village area of Lake Elmo are assumed to be
served by regional sewer between 2010 and 2030. That flow has not been included in the
forecasts.
The City has identified an area along Olson Lake Trail in the Tri-Lakes area that will be served with public
sanitary sewer via an extension from the City of Oakdale. The City of Lake Elmo will work with the City
of Oakdale to connect existing homes as public projects occur or as when otherwise feasible to make these
connections.

2. Sanitary Sewer Plan Maps.
The Staging Plan Map shows sewer service staging in 5 year increments and
future land use. The staging plan will be revised to reflect any updates to the
Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Metropolitan
Council.
The Sewer Service Area – Tri Lakes map shows the sewer service area for existing
homes to be provided with service along Lake Olson. There is no specific time
frame identified for this area, but connections are expected to occur beginning in
2013.
