NEW BUSINESS
Discuss mandatory connection to sanitary sewer under 21.05(2)(a) of the City’s Municipal
Code as it relates to S90 W13322 Boxhorn Drive – City Engineer stated the residents of S90
2
W13322 Boxhorn Drive expressed concern regarding the impending requirements that they
will have to connect to public sewer within nine months of said public sewer becoming
available for use. A land division across the street has caused a low pressure force main to
be installed which will be publicly dedicated in the near future. This dedication will trigger
the nine month window for connection to the public sewer for this home. The homeowners
are requesting that they not have to connect their home to the new sewer; however, the
current code does not allow for any variation from the required connection. The home is
currently served by a private treatment system. The current code exists in order to protect
public health by reducing the chance of contamination of ground water or surface waters.
City Engineer Simpson would write a letter to everyone here and the other two homes
