Public Notice
The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-159, which amends
Title V: Chapter 51 of the Lake Elmo City Code of Ordinances regarding Subsurface Sewage
Treatment Systems, adopting Washington County's bringing it in to compliance with County and
State rules by amending the following:
• Specifies that mound systems are not allowed for new collector systems in the OP Open
Space Preservation District except to replace existing non -compliant systems.
• Removes language that requires sewage tanks be pumped or inspected by a licensed
septic pumper, or inspected by a state -certified septic inspector every 2 years and that a
report be submitted to the permitting authority by the pumper or inspector, as this is
preempted by State Statute 115.5 5 Subp. 5 (c).
• Removes language regulating operation and maintenance of OP Wastewater Treatment
Systems, as this is redundant with a provision in the County Ordinance.
• Removes language requiring subsurface sewage treatment systems serving two or more
properties be designed by a registered professional engineer in the State of Minnesota, as
this is prohibited by MN Rules 7082.00100 Subp. 3 Item A.
• Further clarifies variance procedures.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that the
City Administrator keep a copy of the ordinance at City Hall for public inspection and that a full
copy of the ordinance be placed in a public location within the City.
