Public Comment:
Paul Roberts, 18150 Ipava Avenue, asked if his property could be
included inthe 2010 MUSA. Robert Erickson responded that at the
current time, the City is not expanding the MUSA for private development.
Two recent MUSA expansions involved exchanging institutional land
within the MUSA for public purposes j.e. water treatment plan and school
site), He further explained the Metropolitan Council regulations allowing
individuals adjacent to the MUSA tine to hook up to sanitary sewer if their
septic systems were failing.

but the City will make every effort to encourage the change when the
