What is the Sanitary Sewer Project?
At the November 19, 2020 Special Council Meeting, the City Council voted to accept the $13 million bond from the State of Minnesota for construction of a city sanitary sewer system and authorized Bolton & Menk to begin preliminary engineering. This project consists of installing sanitary sewer main under the street, replacing the street above the new sanitary sewer, extending sanitary sewer services to the right-of-way, and construction of sanitary holding ponds. Through the next few months the City will be gathering information on the project area for future decision making.
