• <br /> strong bussing philosophies of the school districts , there does <br /> not appear to, be a need for new school sites but rather expansion <br /> of the existing school buildings . (There are no private or <br /> parochial schools in the Village . ) <br /> Semi -public facilities are limited pretty much to those belonging <br /> to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church , although there is an <br /> American Legion Club on 147th Street. In addition to its church <br /> site , parking area , rectory and five church school buildings on <br /> Highway 61 , the Catholic Church also owns and maintains a large <br /> adjacent tract of land that is utilized for church functions and <br /> as a play area for its parishioners . St . John ' s Cemetery is also <br /> a facility of the Catholic Church and is located north of ' the <br /> Village Hall site . The Knights of Columbus also operate a hall <br /> in Hugo on Bald Eagle Lake. <br /> H. UTILITIES <br /> There is an absence of the usual municipal utilities in Hugo , <br /> although approximately 95% of the old Village is served by a public <br /> water system. This system was installed in 1969 and includes a <br /> deep well supplying 350 gallons per minute and a 100 ,0009 allon <br /> elevated storage tank. Both these facilities are adjacent to the <br /> Village Hall . The degree of water treatment includes both chlor- <br /> ination and fluoridation . <br /> No public sewer has been constructed as yet in the community. At <br /> this time the residents rely on their own septic systems . Plans <br /> have been prepared to provide sewer service for the old Village <br /> area , but construction of the system hinges upon the pending <br /> approval of a sewer grant application by the Federal Department of <br /> Housing and Urban Development (HUD) . Hugo ' s proposed sewer <br /> system will tie into the existing Forest Lake Interceptor which <br /> traverses the western portion of the Village . At present this <br /> line serves none of the communities between White Bear Lake and <br /> Forest Lake. <br /> Hugo ' s electricity is provided by two suppliers . Northern States <br /> Power Company serves approximately the southern two-thirds of the <br /> Village, with the remaining portions served by the Anoka Electric <br /> Cooperative (REA) . <br /> Natural gas is available to the Village through a spur of the 20" <br /> Natural Gas Company pipeline which cuts across the northern portions <br /> of the Village . Gas is provided to most of the old Village area <br /> via a gas main paralleling Highway #61 . <br /> 13 <br />
