Public Notice
The city council of the city of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 314. The ordinance
amends section 720 of the city's code of ordinances regarding individual sewage treatment systems.
The ordinance was adopted in response to recent changes in state law and allows the city to
continue to regulate individual septic systems within the community. Although the ordinance
generally adopts the Minnesota state rules commonly referred to as "7080", the ordinance is more
stringent in certain respects than state law. For example, Medina will continue to require two septic
sites, a primary and an alternative, for each lot and will allow experimental septic systems only on
sites which have been previously developed and on which the existing system has failed. The full
text of Ordinance No. 314 is available for inspection at Medina city hall during regular business
hours.
