- 3 - Issue - 3 It is currently anticipated that almost $20 million dollars in metropolitan funds will be expended prior to 1985 to provide metropolitan service for Champlin, Anoka, Brooklyn Park and Ramsey. This funding will finance the construction of the lower CAB interceptor (Sections B-1 through C-7, plus C-14 and C-16) at an estimated cost of $13.3 million; the Anoka leg of the CAB interceptor (Section A-7) at $4.2 million (in the 1980 Capital Budget); plus the cost of phasing out or expanding the Anoka plant. Since it will be necessary to incur these costs to meet near term needs; costs associated with longer term needs should be deferred. Conclusions The Rum River extension is not necessary to 'provide service to the Brom and Dunham Oaks subdivisions because these areas can be served by a local collection system connecting to the Anoka interceptor at Highway 47. The construction of the Rum River extension at this time will permit Anoka to serve a limited number of homes in the Dunham Oaks subdivision without a lift station, thus lowering Anoka's cost. Andover's planned need for possible service through the Rum River extension is beyond 1985. The MWCC 201 Northwest Area'Study has tentatively determined that the Rum River extenstion and its eventual extension to the existing Anoka Northeast interceptor is the most cost-effective alternative of serving western Andover, but after 1985. Se There are viable, long-term alternative corridors for the Rum River extension if it is not constructed at this time, and its currently proposed corridor becomes occupied by Anoka's local streets and utilities. Major metropolitan investments are already being programmed to meet the short-term needs in the CAB service area. Planning to meet the longer term needs is underway, with a decision for future service possibly being reached in 1981. Recommendations That the Metropolitan Council not consider amending the 208 Water Quality Plan to include the extension of the Anoka interceptor from Highway 47 to the Rum River at this time because the immediate need for the extension cannot be demonstrated. That the determination of the need and timing for the extension of the Anoka interceptor from'Highway 47 to the Rum River be addressed when the facii~ity to serve western Andover is needed. This timing should be indicated in Andov~'s comprehensive plan
