Water & Wastewater Services
Water and wastewater services are readily available at Laskin Energy
Park with built-in capacity to accommodate growing manufacturers. The
park is served by the City of Hoyt Lakes' water and wastewater system,
making it an affordable, environmentally secure place to locate
industrial facilities of all sizes.
In addition to municipal services, Laskin Energy Park tenants may access
deionized and process water at affordable rates from Minnesota Power's
Laskin Energy Center. Deionized water, known for its purity and low
conductivity, has become an essential ingredient in electronics
manufacturing, metal plating, food processing, pharmaceutical
production, and hundreds of other industrial applications. Lakewater
also is available for cooling and process uses. Permitting may be
streamlined through Minnesota Power's water appropriations permit.
