Recently there have been many questions asking when public sanitary sewer service will be installed in areas of the City. At present this information is uncertain. Ramsey is scheduled to be sewered with metropolitan sewer service by the CAB interceptor. CAB is a major line serving Ramsey as well as parts of Anoka, Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The present projection from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission is that this line will be in construction in 1981; however, it is the Cityls feeling that, this state is unrealistic since the engineering design has not started yet. Ramsey desires two outlets from this interceptor; one would be near Highway 10 at the Ci ty I S East boundary and the ather near Highway 47 at the City 's Southeast boundary. The City Council has in the past and will continue to make every effort to insure that the lines are not constructed anywhere in the City until it is absolutely necessary and in certain areas it is projected that sewers'ervicemay never be needed. It is the Council's position at this time that after placement of the CAB interceptor the construction of the Ramsey internal collection system will only be done upon demand for development and/or by demonstrated needs due to health and environment reasons. It is the intent of the Council's Url?an Planning to have the proposea commercial development locate. in the Southeastern area, to initiate the internal system; thereby adding to the tax base and relieving capital improvements cost to residential taxpayers. The City feels that with proper density controls combined with ade- quateoperation and maintenance programs for individual on-site septic systems the environment can be protected and these systems will be as effective as metro sewage treatment facilities. It should be noted that Ramsey's past plannfng efforts have delayed the necessity of sewer service to the City when other communities in the northern developing fringe areas are already receiving sewer service because of inadequate density and planning controls. Ramsey will be in a very enviable position in that sanitary sewer servi~e would be available for areas of demcmstrated,need; but can control the destiny and placement of the sewer pipes within the City by demonstrating a local program can adequately preserve the character and rural nature of the City allowing on-site septic systems. If anyone has specific questions about sewer service in their area please contact Phil Nereson at City Hall. ---------------------~-------------------------------------------'------------------------------- NOTICE TO HOMEOWNERS & CONTRACTORS The City has a licensing ordinance which is now being rigidly enforced and all contractors and homeowners contracting work or tradesmen should be aware that before inspections will be made on any construction projects the necessary licenses will have to be on file at City Hall.
