This program provides funding to upgrade Environmental Services' ability to measure flows for billing, operational, and planning purposes and standardize meter equipment at similar facilities. Meter improvements include meter rehabilitation or replacement, planning meter installation, and new meter installation.
This program provides funding to complete planning activities and near-term capital improvements (not otherwise included in a separate program) at 8 regional Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF).
The interceptor systems in Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Circle Pines, Coon Rapids, Forest Lake, Fridley, Hugo, Lexington, Lino Lakes, Maple Grove, Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, and other north area communities need rehabilitation and/or replacement.

This program provides funding for planning and implementation of projects to continue renewal for liquids processing and plant-wide systems at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility (Metro WRRF), which was initiated under Program 8059 Metro Rehabilitation and Facilities Improvements. Planning work is documented in the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant Asset Renewal Facility Plan (December 2015).
This program provides funding for planning activities needed to support the Council’s overall water reuse initiative, which includes treating stormwater and treatment facility effluent for specific reuse applications.
