PPSSD – the meeting went straight to the Sewer District discussion. Sara Lindberg, Colin Marcusen and Mike Larson with SEH reviewed the memorandum that was sent out for this meeting. Project Cost; the total project cost is approximately $2,366,100, plus approximately $50,000 in land acquisition costs, there may be additional cost to connect two properties at the south end of the project that range from $160,000 to $200,000. Funding; Grant dollars will be exhausted by the original project costs, without the addition of the two properties on the south end, therefore all additional project costs will be added to the Small Communities Program loan – 1% loan over 20 years. A comparison of the monthly user rates with and without the two properties on the south end added in to the project costs are: Monthly user rates based on a $2,366,100 project: $58 - $70 per ERU or Monthly user rates based on a $2,566,100 project: $62 - $80 per ERU.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding who is being connected and who is not in the district. Chairman Nevalainen moved that the PPSSD will move forward at this time and all members of the district will be hooked up. This motion was seconded by Supervisor Kiner, all voting yea motion carried. SEH will continue with the preparation of design documents, the plans and specifications are anticipated to be submitted to MPCA near the middle to end of October, 2013. Construction is planned to begin in the spring of 2014.
Members of the sanitary district will be responsible for connection of the their sanitary sewer pipe to the new septic tank located on or near their property. Estimated piping costs for a typical single family home are $1,500 to $3,000. Costs are highly dependent on the type of soil or lack of soil, encountered in the area.
Residents with existing septic tanks and dispersal systems will be responsible for removal or abandonment of the system.
