You should also note that urban development at overall densities that are substantially lower than identified for your community in the Council's Growth Management Strategy Section of the Systems Information Statement will also be analyzed by the Council for their potential adverse effects on the cost of providing metropolitan sewer service. Description of Metropolitan Disposal System Serving your Community: The attached map shows the location of the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) serving your community. The following paragraphs contain information on the existing and planned metropolitan facilities serving your community. The wastewater flow from the City of St. Anthony is treated at the Metropolitan WWTP located within St. Paul, MN. There are many projects scheduled for the Metropolitan WWTP through 2030. These projects will provide additional capacity at the plant as well as improve its ability to meet required permit standards. The City of St. Anthony is served by two interceptors 1-MN-302 and 1-RV-430. Interceptor 1-MN-302 currently has an available capacity of 2.35 mgd to provide for the long-term needs of the city. Interceptor 1-RV-430 currently has an available capacity of 0.59 mgd. The Council has no proposed interceptor improvement projects scheduled through 2030 within the city. The city needs to verify its long-term needs as part of its comprehensive plan update. If necessary, detailed information regarding metropolitan facilities is available from the Council's Municipal Services Section by calling the staff at (651) 602-1005. Increases in growth rates and resulting increases in flow beyond those shown in Table 1 may result in short-term capacity limitations within the MDS. Inflow/Infiltration Reduction Goal The Council's Water Resources Management Policy Plan states that the Council will establish UI goals for all communities discharging wastewater to the MDS. Communities that have excessive UI in their sanitary sewer systems will be required to eliminate the excessive UI by 2012. The Council will begin the implementation of an M assistance/surcharge program in 2007. The money collected from the communities with excessive UI may be used by those communities to remove UI from their systems. The Council will limit increases in service within those communities that have not met their UI goal(s) starting in 2013. The Council will meet with the community and discuss this alternative before it is implemented. This time period may be shorter if excessive UI jeopardizes the Council's ability to convey wastewater without an overflow occurring. In this case the Council may limit increases in service within those communities that have excessive UI immediately upon notification to the community. The Council plans to implement a wastewater rate demand charge program, starting in 2013, for those communities that have not met their UI goals. These revenues will be used to help defray W - 3
