Accomplishments:  Installation of a SCADA system throughout the city is being completed. This will help the city to better safeguard against potential blockage.  Southbridge lift station rehabilitation.  2 new lift stations – Maras/Hansen and West End.  New grease trap enforcement procedures will be in place in 2026 Goals/Challenges:  Metropolitan Council Environmental Service’s (MCES) fees are passed on to customers and the city has no influence on those fees.  Pipes often become clogged with grease buildup and debris that shouldn’t have been flushed down the toilet. City crews systematically clean the sewer conveyance system to minimize blockages and backups, and crews perform other general inspections to ensure all is flowing clean and unrestricted.
