residents on East Pike Lake Road and Midway Road from the North Pike Lake Road south to
Four Corners; residents on Lorendale/Nelsondale Road and Martin Road west to Midway;

that are on the Lake and all residents south of the lake to Old Miller Trunk between W.

Historical
Information on PLAWCS top of page
Canosia and Grand
Lake Town Boards met on February 3, 1998 and approved the final draft of a
Joint Powers Agreement and governing By-Laws for the creation and
authorization of a sewer collection system for an area around Pike Lake that
includes the Four Corners Commercial area. The Joint Power Agreement is
necessary because the properties effected are in two separate townships. The
Minnesota State Statues requires this type of arrangement. The Joint Powers
Board will be made of five elected supervisors from Grand Lake and Canosia
Townships. A Public Hearing was held by the Pike Lake Alternative Wastewater
Committee on a Facility Plan September 29, 1997, and it was approved by
Grand Lake and Canosia Town Boards on September 30, 1997. This Facility Plan
is currently being reviewed by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for
placement on their Intended Use Plan (IUP). The committee is expecting to
receive a favorable review.
The next step
for is the residents of the sewer area show their support. A survey has
been sent out by the committee asking: "Do You Agree That The
Townships Should Proceed With The Sewer Collection System?" If
you received the information flyer and survey post card survey form, you
are scheduled to be a part of the sewer collection system. If you did
not receive a survey form and know you are in the designated area,
please call Russ Georgesen at the Health Department, 725-5250 or Pete
Weidman at WLSSD, 722-3336 x218.
The cost of the sewer will depend
on how much grant money is provided by the Wastewater Infrastructure
Fund (WIF). Worst case is residents will need to pay of their portion
($13,000) of the sewer cost plus a monthly
operation/maintenance/replacement fee of $20 and plumbing connection fee
that could range from $500 to $1500. If the resident chooses to finance
the $13,000 with a 4% State Loan, the monthly costs for 20 years would
be $80. "Better Case": We get a $2 million grant, the cost would be
reduced to $55/month. "Best Case": We get a $4 million grant, the cost
would be $30/month. These numbers are different from the more
conservative information on the flyer sent out in the survey.
Have you sent yours in yet? The Joint Powers Board will evaluate the
survey results and then proceed based on their interpretation of the
results.
