FEASIBILITY REPORT <br /> PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS <br /> FOR <br /> CITY PROJECT NO. 94-5 <br /> SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION <br /> FOR 2748 COUNTY ROAD J <br /> MOUNDS VIEW, MINNESOTA <br /> SEPTEMBER 19, 1994 <br /> Introduction <br /> The City of Mounds View has reviewed its policy regarding <br /> sanitary sewer service. The City Code requires that any existing <br /> building for human habitation be connected to the municipal sewer <br /> system. This is also a requirement of State Statutes. The city <br /> has been actively pursuing those properties that need to connect. <br /> Existing Conditions <br /> The property at 2748 County Road J. is a single family residence, <br /> which was built before municipal sewer became available. <br /> Municipal sewer mains were later installed and a service stub was <br /> provided for this property. The property owner at that time <br /> declined to connect to the municipal system. The existing septic <br /> system is showing signs of failure. <br /> The current owners have indicated that they are unable to finance <br /> the entire project along with the sewer availability charge <br /> (SAC) . The estimated cost of construction is $1,500 - $2 , 500 and <br /> the SAC is $800. <br /> Recommendations <br /> Because of the possible operational problems of the existing <br /> septic system and in the interest of public health, it is <br /> important to have this property connected to the municipal sewer <br /> system as soon as possible. <br /> Due to the financial difficulties of the owners, it is <br /> recommended that the owner pay the SAC and the construction costs <br /> be financed by a special assessment to the property. <br />
