Non-Council Wastewater Treatment Plants
<br /> There are 15 wastewater treatment plants in the metro area that are municipally owned and
<br /> operated (See Table 2). The Council plans to provide regional service as follows:
<br /> 1. Rogers is a suburban community which owns and operates its own wastewater
<br /> treatment plant. It is expected that Rogers will request that the Council acquire its
<br /> wastewater treatment plant as the City continues to grow.
<br /> 2. Loretto will be served by the Blue Lake Plant via the Maple Plain Interceptor by 2020,
<br /> based on state regulatory requirements, i.e. elimination of their discharge as part of
<br /> implementing the Total Maximum Daily Load for Lake Independence.
<br /> 3. The Council has a wastewater treatment plant acquisition agreement with the City of
<br /> New Germany.
