We are in the City for good.
Central Lutheran’s Vision
We envision becoming a
thriving, vibrant model of
urban Lutheran ministry for
the 21st century. This lofty
vision requires us to ask each
day if our goals for worship,
learning and service are
clearly reaching a diverse
neighborhood and city in
language and actions that
reflect the world as well as
our heritage.
Project Genesis
Changes in City requirements
Minneapolis Code 56.70 Disconnect all roof drains
from the sanitary sewer system. (SS)
• Central’s internal roof drain system designed to
discharge stormwater into the City’s sanitary sewer
system (SS).
• 2005 City notice of mandate “Roof drains need to be
disconnected from the SS by a licensed plumber.
Stormwater needs to be redirected to discharge
outside onto grade or directly connected to a storm
drain if one is available.”
First Step
Disconnection #1
2008 - Disconnected
NE drainpipe.
Drained to new
surface stormwater
detention basin and
underground
chamber
Total cost: $15-$20 K
City & Central get serious
We decided to do more….
• Underground infiltration / stormwater detention
system captures roof runoff.
• Diverts additional stormwater from SS E side of
property. Total area served 1.08 acres
• Applied 2010 MWMO Stewardship Funds Action
Grant using BMP & “handling” 60% more water
than required.

Environmentally &
Fiscally Responsible
Central Saves. Project Nearly Paid with Deferred
Cost Savings
Now $17,500 /yr. storm water treatment fees
Almost all will go away when detention project is
finished
• If borrow $130,000 at 6% for 10 years, the
payment is $17,660 annually
City Saves. Reduction in water preserves systems storm & sanitary.

MWMO Goals (and Ours)
• Goal 1: Improve water quality or improve
water and natural resource management.
Be good stewards - care for creation.
• Goal 2: Build community understanding,
knowledge, and initiative related to water
and natural resources issues and solutions.
Goal 1: Improve Water Quality
• Lasting Impact Minimizes negative
impact of snow melt on watershed.
• Reduces runoff from parking lot & street
→ pollutants, street & soil surface
materials flow into SS
• Issue of justice to the ELCA
Universal, sustainable access to sufficient, safe, acceptable, accessible and affordable water
Goal 2: Build Community Understanding
Intergenerational education for Central and
our neighborhood.
More than awareness. Educate to change behavior
Personal accountability for stewardship of natural
resources.
Tied water conservation & appreciation into many
Central activities.
Respect, Conserve, Care for God’s Creation
