- 3 - ~ss!]es In eva]uauing Anoka's request, two relevant issues should be recosnized: IssNe - ]_ ' T]{e timing of Andover's 'need for service through the requested Rtnn River extension, when the extension is connected to the e>:Jsting Anoka Northeast interceptor. The Andov~-_r Com?rehemsive Sewer Plan anticipa.tes service to x,~slern Andover through the Anoka interceptor. The timing of th~s service need has definite implications for Anoka's extension 'reqx~est. The attached letter from Chairman ¥,~eaver and Andover's rest~onse to it indicate Andover does not anticipate the need for service through extensions of the Anoka.interceptor until the ]955-1990 time period. The MW(iC 201 Northwest Area Study is currently evaluating metropolitan sewer service alternatives for western Andover. In ~dd~tion to extending the Anoka interceptor to the Anoka Northeast interce~otor, the Commission is also evaluating the a]t~,rnative of serving western .~ndover through the Coon Rapids ,fnterc(q}tor. Until the Northwest Area Study is complete, the question of the most cost-effective method of providing metro- po]~ tan sewer service to western Andover cannot be answered, and the need for the Rum River extension to serve western Andover ca~N~ot be determined. '2[' ]~ the proposed corridor for the extension to the Rum River ~s prcamp:ed by the construction of local streets and utS!ities by Amoka, are there alternative locations to build the exEension at some point in the future if it is needed zo serve west. em Andover? Given Andover's need for metropolitan sewer service to the wester:n :~ortion of the city is 5-10 years away, an analysis was made ~o determine if t~,ere are feasible alternative locations for co~.st-r~cEing the Rum River extension at a later time. The. at;:ached letter_ from .x~4CC s~azz=~ indicates :aere'i _ is, based on H'WCC staff field investigation~, a viable alternative corridor for uhe Rum River extension just south of the currently prooosed a!~g~,ment, and that the long-term avaiiabi~itv of this a!Eernative corridc,r precludes the immediate need for constructing the Rum River c..>:~ension. Conc]msions 1. T]~.e P, um River extension is not necessary to provide service to %l-~c i~_~-c>m and Dunham Oaks subdivisions because these areas can be se};ved by a local collection system connecting to ,~he Ar;oka inierceptor at Highway 47.
