Board to explore interim financing options for Reading sewer service district after MPCA violation
Summary
The board agreed to seek options for interim financing to support Reading sewer service district activities after an MPCA Notice of Violation issued June 20, 2012; additional county expenses have been incurred and more are expected.
Nobles County discussed Reading, an unincorporated community ordered in 2012 by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to cease water pollution caused by existing septic systems. County officials said the county has used funds to address Reading’s compliance and anticipates additional expenses.
The board voted to look for interim financing options to fund Reading’s activities without drawing on county reserve funds. Commissioners emphasized the need to identify funding mechanisms that protect county reserves while supporting required compliance work.
