• Be familiar with the plumbing system in the home or business. If roof downspouts <br />are piped underground, a sump pump has no identifiable discharge point, or founda- <br />tion drains don't discharge to the street curb or gutter or other low point on the lot, <br />there may be sources of 1/1 on the property that are contributing to the problem. <br />• Have the private sewer service lateral inspected and, if necessary, repaired. <br />What are local communities and the Met Council doing to mitigate UI? <br />• Communities in the region have been working for years to mitigate 1/1 sources. Between <br />2007 and 2015, regional communities reported investments of over $157 M in 1/1 <br />mitigation projects. <br />• Communities and property owners offset 1/1 mitigation expenses using grants. The <br />Minnesota Legislature - with advocacy of Metro Cities - has allocated a total of $10.5 M <br />of grant funding to help communities mitigate 1/1. Minnesota's Legacy Clean Water Fund <br />also contributed $1 M to support roughly $3.3 M in investments. <br />• MCES invested roughly $88 M on 1/1 mitigation activities from 2007-2015 and plans <br />to invest about $80 million to $100 million annually in interceptor -related investments <br />through year 2023. <br />• Completed comprehensive analyses of the sewer systems to locate 1/1 sources. Many <br />communities have developed strategies to mitigate 1/1 as part of comprehensive master <br />plans and capital improvement projects. <br />• MCES hosted 1/1 mitigation workshops and created public outreach videos.
