224 <br />Community and Subsurface Treatment Systems <br />Community and Subsurface Treatment System Management Program <br />Ramsey maintains a database of approximately 4,100 private subsurface septic systems. A majority <br />of these are for single-family homes. There is one group septic system for a six (6) unit townhome <br />development owned and operated by a private Home Owners Association (HOA). In 2016, the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) reported a total of approximately 541,000 septic <br />systems in Minnesota. Anoka County has an estimated 28,000 systems, the second highest number <br />of septic systems per County in the State and the highest number of systems of any County in <br />Metropolitan Area. When properly maintained, these systems are an adequate means of treating <br />wastewater. However, given the number of private septic systems in the community, Ramsey must <br />dedicate resources to ensure that these systems are being properly maintained in order to protect <br />groundwater quality, prevent public health threats, and avoid public nuisances. <br />Figure 57: Private Septic Systems <br />Private Septic Systems <br />Septic System <br />• Septic System <br />city of RAMSEY <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
