Council provided direction to MCES officials, who have since that time, <br />continued to work with City officials in order to determine a location satisfactory to both parties. City <br />Administrator Mike Ericson stated that he had received a phone call from Bill Moore on Monday <br />morning, and he said he had some good news. Bill Moeller and Adam Gordon from MCES were present <br />and addressed the Council stating that after evaluating the effectiveness of the Forest Lake program to <br />eliminate private sump pump use of the sanitary sewer interceptor, that there was a substantial decrease <br />in flows. This information changes the MCES's opinion for the need of storage tanks, and in the <br />professional opinion of Mr. Moeller, almost eliminates the possibility of another sewer spill in Bald <br />Eagle Lake. The MCES will proceed with placement of a peaking pump station to be located in White <br />Bear Township. <br />
