Existing Sanitary Sewer System <br />Sanitary Sewer Service Area <br />Typically, sanitary sewer systems consist of two elements: collection and treatment. Collection systems include sewer services, trunk sewer <br />pipe, lateral sewer pipe, manholes, lift stations, and forcemains which collect the sewer flows from private residential, commercial, and industrial <br />properties within the city. Treatment systems include the biological or chemical treatment in order to remove targeted contaminants from the <br />wastewater. <br />The City of Hugo's existing sanitary sewer system is a collection system only; the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) provides <br />treatment for Hugo's sanitary sewer flows. MCES is also responsible for major trunk facilities conveying wastewater across City boundaries <br />to regional treatment facilities. All wastewater flows from the City of Hugo enter the MCES Interceptor system and are conveyed to the MCES <br />Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in the City of St. Paul, directly adjacent to the Mississippi River. <br />The sanitary sewer service area is defined as the area from which wastewater flows are collected by the City's sewer system. The existing <br />service area within the City of Hugo is comprised of approximately 3,600 gross acres which includes the lakes, wetlands, open park land, and <br />road right-of-ways. This existing service area is shown in Map 10-1. Nineteen sanitary sewer service districts were developed within the City <br />boundaries based on the connection points to the MCES Interceptor. These districts are further subdivided into smaller Sub -districts based on <br />trunk gravity service and lift station service areas that were used to develop design flows and size trunk facilities. The existing service area is <br />partially developed within several districts. The Sewer Districts and Sub -districts are shown in Map 10-2. <br />J-!`I�GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A <br />SEWER PLAN <br />for review only <br />
