PROGRAM TO MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
WHEREAS, The City of Mounds View will be launching a major initiative on
January 1, 2020 called the Water Preservation Program or HOPP Program; and

to seep into the sanitary sewer system; and
WHEREAS, televising and slip lining of the pipe is a proven method to inspect and
repair which will resolve both outflow and inflow issues; and
WHEREAS, the city incurs over one million dollars in annual fees to the Met
Council for disposal of sanitary waste of which 30% is estimated to be "clear" water or
ground water seeping in that does not need to be treated; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted an ordinance requiring properties to televise and
if needed, repair the line prior to the sale and wants to make zero interest loan funds
available to property owners upon request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
authorizes submitting grant application to the MPCA in the amount of $2,000,000 to aid
in implementing and funding the lateral sewer line upgrade component of the HOPP
Program.
