MPCA Permit and Temp Finance

The Mantorville City Council last Friday was informed that the MPCA as well as the EPA have both agreed to the request for the new Waste Water Treatment Plant permit. The permit was the last open item that needed to be completed prior to beginning construction on the new pipe system to go over to Kasson. The Kasson plant is still behind schedule; however, we have been given the ok to do concurrent construction and will break ground some time next summer. The City Council also ok temporary financing for the project since the Governor did not call a special session to take care of the budget. The City already had a repayment authorization resolution in place that will allow us to pay our selves back if we are awarded a grant for part of this project.
