St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7: Sanitary Sewer <br />128 <br /> <br />CHAPTER 7: S ANITARY S EWER <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Purpose <br />Every ten years, the City of St. Anthony is required to prepare a <br />Comprehensive Plan that aligns with the Metropolitan Council’s <br />Metropolitan System Plan, per Minnesota Rule 473.858. The Sanitary <br />Sewer Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan describes and evaluates the <br />existing sanitary sewer system and proposes improvements to the system <br />to accommodate future wastewater flows. The Sanitary Sewer Plan allows <br />the City and Metropolitan Council to build and improve their sanitary sewer <br />collection and treatment systems so that development can occur in the <br />most efficient and cost-effective manner. <br />The City of St. Anthony’s Sanitary Sewer Plan was developed to align with <br />the Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. <br />The Thrive MSP 2040 Plan was approved in May 2015 and outlines <br />regional goals for the wastewater system, including environmental <br />sustainability, water reuse, and water conservation. Additionally, the Thrive <br />MSP 2040 Plan includes population, household, and employment <br />projections and projected wastewater flows. <br />St. Anthony is fully built out, and any additional developments should have <br />minor impacts on the sanitary sewer system. This Sanitary Sewer Plan <br />outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council can expect to see <br />changes in wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity <br />upgrades will be required at regional wastewater treatment plants and <br />interceptors. This Plan also serves as a guiding document for City <br />infrastructure improvements. <br />
