The editorial page of the Minneapolis Star, Friday Evening <br />Edition, contained a letter from Patrise Cochran. This letter offered <br />comments concerning the efforts of the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer <br />Districts efforts to receive permission from the Water. Pollution Control <br />Commission to build a regional sewage plant on the Mississippi River <br />in Fridley. <br />Contrary to the opinion stated in the above mentioned letter, <br />the NSSSD does have an outlet for the Sanitary Sewage for its member <br />communities. Said outlet is into the Minneapolis sewer system. <br />Ultimate disposal is through Minneapolis -St. Paul Sanitary Sewer <br />Districts sewage treatment plant at Pigs Eye. <br />The NSSSD is "seeking" permission to construct a regional <br />plant in the Mississippi River in Fridley because it would be a more <br />economical solution for an outlet. Rather than transport the sewage <br />through expensive trunk lines more than 20 miles to Pigs Eye, the <br />NSSSD would like to treat the sewage at a plant in Fridley and thus <br />eliminate these expensive transportation costs. Any savings thus <br />realized would result in reduced costs to the citizens of the District. <br />An estimated 112,000,000 can be saved if the regional plant is utilized. <br />Sewer lines are now being constructed by the NSSSD as well <br />as member communities. Before construction takes place, plans and <br />specifications are approved by the Minnesota Health Department as <br />well as the '.Water Pollution Control Commission. The above mentioned <br />agencies do not approve plans for serier systems which have no outlet. <br />The sole purpose of oraaniz_ina the MSSSD r.as to provide an outlet <br />to the member communities. <br />L oy.
