IIPOId A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICR
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:35
P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated Minco has applied for a rezoning and a
vacation request. They are doing some short range facility
planning for their Minco Plant 2. Minco has three plants. Plant
1 is located at 730o Commerce Lane. This plant was constructed
in 1968 and has had subsequent additions. In 1972, Minco
purchased the building to the east at 7321 Commerce Lane. That
building was constructed by a different manufacturing company.
When it became vacant, Minco purchased the building. Staff has
been warking with Minco over the last six months to plan Minco
Plant 3, which will be an 80,000 square foot manufacturing
facility. This is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, so they just nesd �
to apply for a building permit for this part of the project.
Ms. MaPherson stated Minco is requesting to rezone three parcels
from C-2, General Business, to M-1, Light Industrial. Located at
the intersect.ion: of 73rr1 and University i•s the abar�doned Hanna � .
Magic 'Carwa�sh. There is o�fice use to the `.north��of� �the� �subject �-�'�
parcel and office use at the intersection. There is also multi-
tenant industrial use in the area.
Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of the vacation request, on Lots
16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of this block, there is a utility
easement which bisects the two sets of lots. Minco is requesting
that this be vacated to allow expansion of Plant 2 across the
easement area.
Ms. McPherson showed a preliminary site plan for the proposed
expansion. In reviewing the rezoning request, staff uses three
criteria:
1. The proposed use is compatible with the proposed zoning
district.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed use of the building is for a
manufacturing and office facility. Manufacturing uses are
permitted in the M-1, Light Industrial, district. The proposed
request meets this criteria. ^
� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 3
2. The proposed district is compatible with the surrounding
uses and zoning.
Ms. McPherson stated there is additional M-1 zoning to the south
of this parcel as well as the existing plant. Expanding the
industrial use to the east would ba expanding the district along
a common property line. The design of the building should have
more of a commercial design to blend in with the office use to
the north. However, expanding the M-1 zoning would not be
adverse in relation to the adjacent uses. The 1990 land use plan
still designates the subject parcels as commercial. The City
will need to process a Comprehensive Plan amendment prior to the
petitioner receiving a building permit.
3. The proposed use meets the requirements of the proposed
district.
Ms. McPherson stated the plan is a preliminary concept plan.
However, the petitioner has brought the plan fairly far along as
far as setback requirements and a grading and drainage plan. As
proposed, the plan meets the district requirements for building
setbacks, parking spaces, and lot coverage. Staff does not
anticipate the petitioner will request any variances if the
� rezoning is approved. Should they need a variance, they will
need to go through the process.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has done a preliminary
grading and drainage plan.indicating a detention facility on Lot
. .21. .The City's Assistant..Pub�lic Works, Director reviewed the plan:
and compiled a list�of comments. �The stiguTat�ian in terms of
drainage is that th� petitioner comply with the comments listed
in the memo from John Wilczek dated August 10. The petitioner
has not yet submitted a landscape plan. They are required to
comply with the landscape requirements listed in the M-1, Light
Industrial, district.
Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of the rezoning requeSt, the
request does meet the three criteria used to evaluate all the
rezoning requests. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
reconunend approval of the request with the following
stipulations:
l. A minor amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan shall be
approved prior to the issuance of a building permit.
2. The petitioner shall comply with the comments in Jon
Wilczek's memo dated August l0, 1995, prior to the issuance
of a building permit.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AOGUST 16, 1995 PA(3E 4 �,
3. The petitioner shall submit a landscape plan complying with
the requirements of the M-1, Light Industrial, district
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Ms. McPherson stated, regarding the vacation request, there is an
8-inch sanitary sewer within the easement area which services the
two car washes located in the northwest corner of the
intersection. The petitioner has indicated they will relocate
that sanitary sewer line. The petitioner is to maintain that
sanitary sewer service to the other two businesses and a new 30-
foot utility easement be dedicated over that utility service.
Staff recommends approval of the vacation request to the City
Council with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall maintain sanitary sewer service to the
businesses located at the corner of 73rd and University
Avenues.
2. The petitioner shall dedicate a 30-foot utility easement
over the relocated sewer line.
Mr. Kondrick asked where the sanitary sewer is proposed to be
located.
�,
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has two options and the
Assistant Public Works Director is reviewing the option as
prasented by the petitioner. They can relocate the sanitary
sewer line along the easterly property line; following along the
road.� Ther�.is aiso an oppo•rtunit.y to connect these busi,nesses
across 73rd to another sanitary�sewer main'th�at is�located in the
service road south of 73rd.
Mr. Sielaff asked the size of the commercial area that is being
rezoned.
Ms. McPherson stated the entire site is 5.2 acres and about half
is to be rezoned.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the Home Depot site was zoned Light
Industrial.
Ms. McPherson stated a portion was industrial and a portion was
general business. That site is 14 acres.
Mr. Schurr stated they have been in Fridley since 1968. At that
time they had 80 employees. They were in an old warehouse
building on Washington Avenue North and needed more space so they
hired a contractor to build the first building in 1968. At that
time, their total sales were about $1 million. In 1973, they
increased to 178 employees, in 1978 - 244 employees, in 1983 - ^
392, in 1988 -455, in 1993 - 603, and now in 1995 - 685
;.•� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1995 PAG$ 5
employees. Their sales have grown from $1 million to over $40
million this year. Hopefully, they can keep that trend going.
Mr. Schurr stated they were fortunate to expand in the first
Plant 1 location from the original 27,000 square feet to three
times that plus another 30,000-40,000 square feet on the second
level. They have slowly but definitely grown over the years and
he thought that trend could be continued. Since 1972 when he
bought Plant 2 across the street, some of the other lots became
available and they purchased them over the years with the idea
that they may need them. They did the same with the lot to the
south where they will locate Plant 3. Plant 3 will be dedicated
to one of their major product lines which is heaters and heater
sensors. They make thin, flexible heaters which have found a
good use in the space program. They have successfully
transmissioned from the military aerospace business into the
commercial industrial where they are finding a good market.
Mr. Schurr stated the main plant would be dedicated to their
flexible interconnect circuits which have a market in the medical
field. That business also continues to grow. They will leave
this business in the present facility at 7300 Commerce Lane. The
last building for which they are asking the rezoning would be
,r� dedicated to the temperature sensors and instruments part of
their business. They have been slowly growing. He did not know
what they would do when they run out of land in 5 to 10 years.
Mr. Sielaff asked if Minco was a large water user for their
� processing and from where they get.the wa�er. �
Mr. Schurr stated yes, they are a large user and they get their
water from the City.
Mr. Sielaff asked if they anticipated using more water with the
e�ansion.
Mr. Schurr stated no. They hope to reduce the amount over a
period of time. They will be using a recirculating process. New
technology is available that will help them do that. Along with
that, they have talked with the Metropolitan Council Waste Water
Services and are putting in a water purification system which
will contribute to the circulating process and reduce the amount
of water that will be discharged into the sewer. He thought they
would be able to hold stable the amount of water used as they
grow.
Mr. Kondrick asked the petitioner if they had any problems with
the stipulations.
� Mr. Schurr stated he had no problems.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. AUGIIST 16, 1995 PAGE 6
Mr. Kondrick s�ated staff discussed a landscape plan. He knows
your business is well maintained. He assumed the petitioner
would be submitting such a plan.
Mr. Schurr stated they would do that. They did get into a
discussion with staff. They wanted to put a parking area in
front of the plant adjacent to the street. Then they learned
they had to put in berms so they moved the parking lot. They
will have four parking stalls in front of Plant 3 which will be
shielded by shrubs. They did want the others for the public.
They wanted the rezoning approved because they can expand north
on the present property that is zoned Light Industrial. But, if
they can end up with a good looking building that faces the
University service drive that is visible, it will be good for the
public and add to the aesthetics. They have a preliminary
landscape plan which he showed to the Commission and raviewed.

Lot Split Request, LS. #95-01
Claudia and Michael Geis
,'"'°'�ge 3
Description of Request
The petition� proposes to split off Lot 27, Block L, Rivenriew Heights, a 25' x 110' parcel, and sell
it to �e westeriy neighbor, the Lindstrom's. The petitioner also pro�ses to split off Lots 32 and 33,
Block L, Riverview Heights, and sell it to the easterly neighbor, the Haldorson's. The purpose of the
lot split is to consolidate and dispose of lots owned by the petitioner, and provide for potential future
subdivision to the south of the single family dwelling unit located at 520 Dover Street NE.
Parcel History
Located on the subj�t parcel is a single f�mily dweiling uni� a 26' x 36' detached garage, and a 12'
x 16' storage she,cl. The date of the dwelling is unlmown. The following permits were issued to the
P�PenY:
1. 1958 - construction of a�' x 20' garage
2. 1965 - construction of an 8' x 14' pigeon loft for housing of carrier pigeons
3. 1981 - wrecking perm'rt to demolish 20' x 20' garage
� �
.. 1981 - construction of a 26' x 36' garage
5. 1989 - construction of a 12' x i 6' sh�
6. 1991 - construction of a 14' x 19' deck orrto the dwelling
The subject parcel is the original Geis family homestead purchas� by Roger Geis, faifier of the
petitioner.
Request
The petitioner has obtained agreemerrt from the Undstrom's and the Haldorson's to �mbine the
parceis to be split with their r�pective parcels. This eliminates the concem � the lot split would
create substandard below the minimum 9,000 square foot lot area
***Stipulation*** The petitioner shail stipufa#e in the conditions of sale that the adjacerrt
neighbors, the Haldorson's and the Lindstrom's, combine the spiit parcels
with their parcels to create single tax records.
The utiliiy services tor the Geis dwelling at 520 Dover Street NE are located in Lot 33, Block L,
Riverview Heights. This lot is one of iwo being sold to the Haldorson's. A private easement between
,�ie Geis' and the Haldorsons' should be execute�J and recorded to allow mairrtenance, repair, or
:piacemerrt of the.se utility senrices by the Geis' on the Haldorson's property. The utilities should be
located and a specific easement area identif+ed as part of the easemerrt document

***Stipulation*** A pri�te easemerrt a1lowing mairrtenance, repair, or replacement of utility
services shall be executed and recorded against Lot 33, Block L, Riverview
Heights.
Future Subdivision
The petitioner has indicated that a possible future sut�ivision could occur on the remnant parcel und�r
the Geis ownership. The remnant parcel is appro�amately 62,000 square feet in are�a, howev�r, a large
portion of this parc� is cover� by Springbrook Creek. Th�e is, however, adequate room to provide
at least one additional single family lot of 9,0� square feet with a 75 fioot lot width south of the
existing Geis home. Prior to a future subdivision, the following issu� should be addr�secl:
1. In reviewing the e�asting utilities pro�ided in Dover Street, the Engineering Department has
determined that utiliiy connections will need to be brought from the west through the Cheryl
Str'eet right-of-way from Broad Avenue. This is due to the inad�uate amourrt of slope from
Dover Street Ar�y sanitary s�roer connection to Dover Street would not have adequate cover
and would poterrtially freeze during the wirrter.
2. Access to the e�dsting lot at 520 Dover Street� and any poter�titial future {ot, must Irave a
minimum of 25 feet along the stireet� while the remainder of the lot meet.s the 75 foot lot width
r�uiremerrt. However� �f three or more parcels are created as a r�ult of. any lot split or pla�
request, the subdivider will be required to provide a typical r+esiderrtial str�t witr� a 50 foot right
of-way. As propos�, Lots 28 acxl 29, g�ock L� if combined, would provide the minimum 50
foot right-of-way n�ry for a r�idential street This resider�tial street would require
construction of a cul{!e-sac.
3. Prior �to any subdivision or replaiting of the remnant parcel, Cheryl S`treet would also ne�ed to
be vac�t�. .
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
To be heard on September 6, 1995.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff r�ommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the lo# split request, LS.
#95-01 � to the Ciiy Council with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall stipulate in �e conditions of sale that the adjac�t n�gh�rs, the
Haldorson's and the Lindstrom's, combine the split pancels with their pancels to create single
tau records.
2 A private easement allowring maintenance, repair, or replacement of utility seniices shall bQ--�
exe.cut� and re�rded agair�t Lot 33, Block L, Riverview Heights.

Members of the Fridley Planning Commission
Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator
Water Conservation and Emergency Plan
On May 3, 1995, the Fridley Planning Commission and Environmental
Quality and Energy Commission held a joint meeting to discuss the
City's Water Conservation and Emergency Plan. A draft plan was
circulated and comments were made by the Commission Members.
Based on the comments received, the City's consultants were
directed to make the necessary changes. If the Planning Commission
and Environmental Quality and Energy Coaunission concur, staff would
like to schedule this plan for public hearing on the October 4,
1995, Planning Commission Agenda.
I have included the minutes from ous EQE/Planning Commission
discussion. The co�nents included:
Comment - What about wellhead protection and the City's
implementation of interim strateg�.es prior to
the finalized version of the State's �aellhead
protection rules?
Response - The City has prepared a preliminary inventory
of well information and is committed to
dovetailing the State's Wellhead Pratection
Plan into this plan as soon as the final
. document becomes available.
In the interi.m, the City will continue to
protect our wellheads through the zoning and
building code standards established to protect
the environment.
Comment - Is "emergencyp defined anywhere?
Response - The language on Page 40 has been enhanced to
include natural hazards, human caused
disasters and contamination. Contamination
hazards are now and would continue to be
Water Conservation and Emergency Plan
September 1, 1995
PAGE 2
monitored by City staff. The Water Emergency
Conditions Ordinance that will be required as
an implementation element of this plan can be
drafted with very specific language to address
the contamination response procedures.
Comment - In the Emergency Ordinance Provisions on page
42 the restriction of restaurants serving
� water on a voluntary or mandatory basis is a
concern. Drinkinq water is essential and
restaurants should not be restricted from
serving it.
Response - The Water Emergency Conditions Ordinance that
will be required as an implementation element
� of this plan can be drafted with very specific
language to address the restaurant �ater
service restriction. The plan language still
needs a minor revision so that we are not
restricted from serving water in restaurants
entirely during water emergencies.
Comment - Is it necessary to test the Cit�'s drinking
water daily?
Response - Yes, the water is tested for fluoride daily.
Every Wednesday the State requires tests for
drinking water quality. These tests would
identify.certain characteristics of the water
• and assure that the standards of the safe
drinking water act are met.
Rigorous testing for traces of TCE is done on
a monthly schedule when well or wells are in
use. Well �9 is tested semi-annually. The
implementation plan includes a date certain
requirement for a resolution of preferred
mediation method for well water contamination.
Comment - Have we considered havinq large water users do
water conservation plans to be submitted to
the City?
Response - Yes, if the City elects to do so, our Water
Emergency Conditions Ordinance can be drafted
with very specific languaqe to address larqe
user, conservation plan implementation.

1. REVIEW OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY•S WATER CONSERVATION AI�TI'1
EMERGENCY PLAN
Mr. Hickok stated the state legislature in 1993 mandated a
modification to Chapter 186 in which they required communities
with municipal water supplies to prepare a water conservation and
emergency plan prior to January 1, 1996. In an effort to get a•
better understanding of.what it is th� state wanted, staff
invited Jim Japs from the Department of Natural Resources and
Gary Oberts from the Metropolitan Council to come out in
November. At that time, only 3 of 113 communities had completed
this plan. Staff was concerned that this is quite a task and it
is. important that there be a chapter amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff prepared an internal working team with
Ms. Dacy, Mr. Hickok, Ms. McPherson, finance representatives, and
Public Works representatives who worked in the areas of .
inventory, emergency pla�ning, and water conservation planning.
Mr. Hickok stated, from those early discussions, they put
together an inventory for what the plan should i.nclude. There
are guidelines..from the s'tate that are very specific. Much of
the information in the agenda packet is inventory information.
At this meeting, Hickok stated he would like to focus on the
policy aspects of the plan. The inventory is somewhat in place.
The City did consult with;MSA, an enqi.neering consulting firm, to
analyze the-City�s water supply system.` That MSA plan.in draft
form has come back to Mr. Flora for his review. This could be on

,..,, i.

JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY
& ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 3, 1995 PAGB 2
the City Council agenda for their review on May 15. This study
is the result of the Council's interest in water quality and
functionality of the system. The Council was interested in
knowing about the water quality and about the water system in
general.
Mr. Hickok stated he would like feedback on wellhead protection.
Running simultaneously is the wellhead protection program which
involves the rewrite of the health ruies. In 1989, the State was
lookinq at the overall water supply far the region and determined
that staff should have some protective devices in place for the
wells and, at that time, they determined a wellhead protection
program was necessary. Very recently, they passed a wellhead
protection program and the rules are being rewritten. Staff is
not at a point where they can bring those rules in. The rules.
will be reviewed when they are final.
Mr. Sielaff stated the rules are in draft form and.he thought
they were close to bei.nq final.
,.--� Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. There have been a series of
public information meetings and staff have been involved in these
review discussions. .
`�
Mr. Sielaff stated there are cities that have already begun their
wellhead protection plan.
Mr. Hickok stated, as cities are growing and looking for wells,
they will need to be up-to-date with their wellhead protection
plans.
Mr. Sielaff stated, while it is fine to wait until the rules are
final, he thought there are some things staff can do now. The
EQE has discussed this and that Commission has supported the
pr�ram.
Mr. Hickok stated he thought the EQE has supported the draft
also. He asked if they were comfortable with.the direction it is
headinq.
Mr. Sielaff stated he would prefer to get started on the wellhead
protection plan. The wellhead protection rules outline that the
cities have to do a wellhead protectian plan which must be
approved by the state. He did not think the rules would change
that much. There is much data already generated so that they
could start a plan. He has been in contact with some people.
�"'�, Bruce Holmgren came out and talked to the EQE.
Mr. Sickok stated it is the City's i.ntent to move along and get ~�''�
�' �
something finalized. They have set September or the third
z
JOINT PLANNING COMMI88ION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY
& ENERGY COMMISSION MSETING, MAY 3. 1995 PAGL 3
quarter as their target date to have the plan finalized. Staff
is confident with the recommendations and modifications that they
will be able to this. It may be that the wellhead protection
plan will be far enough along to incorporate and take it all to
the Council at one ti.me.
Ms. McPherson stated she understood the water conservation�plan
would be adopted as soon as the EQE provided comments and the
Council approved it. Then staff would wait until the rules are
final to begin wellhead protection. Based on these conunents,
there is no reason staff cannot start the data collection and
preliminary inventory. The City probably has the data in this
plan or sewer and water data in the CQmprehensive Plan.
Mr. Sielaff stated the State of Minnesota also has a consultant
who is doing a study on the well field.
Ms. McPherson stated she was sure they could go back, start
taking a look at it and see how it fits into the workplan.
Mr. Sielaff stated the EQE felt it important to do this but also
address the issues of the well field.
Mr. Hickok�stated the MSA study being done will be very helpful
information to build into this. Staff will go fosward on the
wellhead protection.
Mr. Hickok referred to page 39, Emergency Procedure IIpdate for
Water Supply. The first paragraph states there are hazards that
could affect the water supply system and, in response to that,
staff_wants to have a plan in place. There are recommendations
in the emerqency response plan. This section talks about the
groundwater, it makes suggestions about alternative water
sources, and the possibility for an interconnection such as staff
have with New Brighton. The City Council has in the past been
interested in doing things that are a joint service cooperative
effort with other communities. This plan states there are
alternative sources of water available i.n the event of some
emergency and staff need to tap another resource.
Mr. Sielaff asked if "emergency° is defined anywhere. Also, does
"natural hazard" include hazards.such as hazardous waste entering
the water supply?
�
r"'�
�
Ms. McPherson stated the second,sentence of�that paragraph
includes human-caused disasters including the release of ,;::
hazardaus materials in to the supply or system, structural fires, �
� major construction or transportation accidents,,.sor vandalism.

JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND EIWIRONMENTAL OIIALITY
& ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING. MAY 3, 1995 PAGE 4
Mr. Sielaff asked about the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant
(TCAAP) water and if there is a failure in their system. What
if, for some reason, some contaminated water got by the filtering
system? The monitoring device could malfunction. Someone could
fail to switch the filters at the proper time. There could be
some.incident t�at-could prevent proper trea•tment from occnrring _
and staff could end up drinking contaminated water.
Ms. McPherson stated they could include that as part.of this.
Another�part of this is to write administrative procedures and
write an ordinance to activate emergency procedures. They can
bring up that very specific point.
Mr. Sielaff stated the alternate sources of water includes TCAAP.
Does this also include NIRCOP? While these can be considered as
a solution to an emergency, this can also be a source.
Mr. Hickok stated they can address this. Mr. Flora has been
working with this and can be contacted about this concern.
� Mr. Sielaff stated the document says TCAAP water was 2 million •
gallons/day. He had heard there was anywhere between 3 million :�;f;f,,
and 4 million gallons/day. Is this saying the maximum is 2
million gallons/day that staff will take from them? There is a
big difference between 2 million gallons/day and 4 million
gallons/day. He would like to have that clarified.
Mr. Hickok referred to page 4o,the Water Supply Shortage Plan.
Mr. Hickok provided copies of a handout listing the
prioritization of what they would do in the event of an
emergency. The Water Supply Shortage Plan talks about public
education, sprinkling restriction ordinances, and energy
effi�ient retrofitting programs that would help to reduce the
water demands and help reduce some of the peak demands.
Mr. Hickok stated the ne�ct area, Water Emergency Condi�ions,
talks about what the City would do to head off some of the
demands.
Ms. Savage disagreed with the item to restrict restaurants from
serving water to customers. Drinking water is an essential and -
restaurants should not be restricted from serving water.
Mr. Saba stated he thought this would restrict a restaurant from _
voluntarily serving water. Customers would be required to ask
,� for water. �
Mr. Sielaff referred to page 40, item .�2, Water= Emergency:_.--
Conditions. Is this just the quantity that you are looking at or ��
is staff also looking at water quality concerns? Would`a water .,•�
!1
w�
�
JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY
& ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING. MAY 3, 1995 PA(3E 5
emergency exist if a hazardous waste got into the drinking
supply? The implication as stated is that this is just quantity
related. He thought contamination also could contribute to a
water shortage.
Mr. Bondow.stated the City may have to shut down a portion of the
system because of contaminants and have a shortage.
Mr. Hickok stated this would mean that it is not just when the
reservoir is too�low to fight fires. It is also when the quality
of the water is not at safe drinking water standards. So, there
are water quality issues and water emergency conditions that are
very specific.
Mr. Hickok reviewed page 41, Administrative Actions, Emergency
Ordinance Provisions, and Utility Operation Program. IInder
Administrative Actions, the education program should be
structured so it includes the water quality and water quantity
issues and how to respond to those in an emergency. The Utility
Operation Program speaks to the short term performance things
that would allow the City to conse�ve wa�er and modify �.,�
operations.
Mr. Kondrick stated the IItility Operation Program lists one
option as purchasing water from the surrounding cities. When
this is done, iiow is the quality xnonitored to be sure it meets .
standards?
Mr. Hickok stated the City has a staff person who deals with
water quality and monitoring. The City regularly monitors the
water system.
Mr. Kondrick asked if was necessary to test the water daily.
Mr. Hickok stated he was not sure.
Mr. Sielaff stated this would depend on what parameters you are
looking for. Mr. Rondrick makes a good point. How can staff be
sure staff is getting good quality water from another source?
How does staff insure the quality of the water staff is taking?
Mr. Rondrick stated the average layperson will ask questions
about how often staff tests the water. Are there State
requirements that dictate the frequency?
Mr. Hickok-stated there are State requirements. There are
periodic testings as well as annual testing. The City does r-�
>.,,>,;�? ongoing testinq through the. course of the month and probably
during any given,week. -� -

Ms. McPherson stated they can add an paragraph that speaks to
water quality testing and contamination. They can also add
something on ou� system and how TCAAP warks. They should also
find out when the Navy site is coming on line and add that.
Otherwise, there will be an addendum later.
Mr. Saba stated he found it scary that the City is taking water
that has been cleaned. He hoped that everything hazardous had
been removed, but what happens in there is an error or
malfunction of some kind.
Mr. Hickok stated the water quality issue is something that the
City Council has spent much time on.
Mr. Saba stated it appeared that their discussion was more
concerned about color contaminants rather than the non-visible
contaminants. The Council is responding to the calls they get.
Mr. Hickok stated the IItility Operation Proqram talks about steps
to be taken on a short term basis to reduce the water demand.
Mr. Hickok referred to page 42, Water Supply and Conservation
Plan Implementation. This part of the plan is the detail of the
implementation. The plan will serve as an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan including an amendment to the sewer and water
chapter. Mr. Hickok reviewed the operational recommendations
that should be implemented. .
Mr. Hickok referred to page 43, and reviewed the minor physical
changes recommended to the City's water system.
Mr. Sielaff stated the fourth point, "Development af ari
increasing block method of water charqes ancl/or a summer water
metering program" should be included as part of the operational
recommendations listed on the previous page.
Mr. Rondrick asked what the Marion Hills booster was.
Ms. McPherson stated the Marion Hills area is the area behind
Menards and is the highest area in the-community. Because the
City has a gravity flow system, the higher elevations have lower
water pressure. By installing a booster station in that area,
the fire trucks don't have to work as hard to pressurize the
water for fire fighting purposes.
Mr. Hickok stated this is the policy and implementation aspect of
� the conservation plan. It is an important plan and contains a �
lot of information. He appreciated the comments provided. He (�€ �.
will go back and i.ncorporate those comments into the plan and ��j'��

Council in order for members to have an opportunity to make
additional comments.
Mr. Bondow suqgested, to conserve paper, that he send out only
those pages having changes.
Mr. Sielaff asked if staff had considered having large'users do
water conservation plans and submit them to the City.
Mr. Hickok stated there�was some discussion about conservation
programs for large users. This has worked for energy
conservation. He thought this issue was worth bringing forward.
Ms. McPherson stated the City has the cheapest water rates in the
seven county metro area. IIntil the Council moves to reverse the
current pricing system and increase the rates to a point where
the system pays for itseif, there is no incentive fo� large users
to conserve water. At that point in time, it will be easier to
convince large users that by implementing these procedures they
can save money.
Mr. Sielaff stated this makes sense to this economically, but r�
�: what about emergency situations. He can see the need for large
users to do somethinq on an emergency basis. If staff is having
the citizens take steps ta conse�:ve, then the large users should
also do something.
Mr. Saba stated they need to be careful about how "emergency�� is
defined. Also to define the level of emergency that would ask
commercial and/or industriai users to enact Conservation
measures.
Ms. McPherson stated there would be some large users, such as
IInity Hospital, which would be the last in a line of users to be
affected. There are a series of specific.activities that need to
occur. W�en writing the ordinance, staff needs to be specific
about the point at which each of these activities would occur.
Mr. Hickok thanked the members for their comments and asked
members to contact him if they had any additional comments.

IIVTRODUCT{ON
Purpose
The following Wate,�' Supply P�an has been prepared for the City of Fridley
for the purpose of documenting the water supply and use characteristics.
of the municipal water system. In addition, fore�asts of future water supply
ne�ds ha,�re been developed to assist in the planning of system expansions
in an orderly manner and to anticipate future capital expenditures. Two
important strategies incorporated in this plan aze: ..
♦ To reduce water demand.
� To . develop an emergency program that can be easilY
implemented in the event the water supply system is threatened
The plan has been developed to provide for the delivery and Eonservation
of water in the most efficient manner since this is one of the more cosfly
services the C'ity provides.
In additioa to meeting community needs, this plan has been prepared to
fulfill state mandates that are administered by the Departrnent of Natural
Resources, the Department of Health, and the Metropolitan Council. In
1993, the M'inn�ara State Legislature adaPt�d legislation ire,quiring public
water suppliers to adopt plans to promote the efficient use of . water.
Aithough ti�e s�e generally has an adequate supply of water, the drought
condirions of 1987-89 prompted policY makers to recluire the development
of conservation and alla�ion Plans for public water suppliers in the event
these or similar water supply threatening conditions would occur in the
fui�re. The water conservation and emergency response components of the
plan have been developed to meex the DNR requirements.
In 1989, the State Legislature passed the Minnesota Groundwater
� prat�tion pct, This pct requires ffiat measures be implemented to protect
the wells and aquifeis that sapply public wells. The Minn�ara Department
of Health was given the responsibility of establishing rules and
m

Paae 1
�,.
�
administering the wellhead protection program. To date, the rules which
• will determine the specific elements required in this program have not
been adopted. Preliminary inforniation is provided in this plan that will
allow for later completion of a wellhead protection program in compliance
with State Health Department rules. The plan will then also amend the
current section of the Comprehensive Plan that deals with water supply
and distribution system in accordance with the local comprehensive plan
amendment procedure of the Meiropolitan Land Planning Ac�
Water Supply System Plan Components
The water supply plan includes background information centered upon the
underlying hydrogeology of the community and region with emphasis
placed upon the specific aquifers and surface water bodies that supply the �
City's water distribution system. Next, the existing water supply system
is examined including descriptions of the wells and trunk water
disbribution system, storage capacities, water ireatment plants, etc. Third,
an exacnination and analysis of the historic water use and supply
characteristics is presented along with a description of cwrrent water
supply issues facing the community. This information along with an �
estimate of the community's future water supply needs lead to the
development of revised water system and conservation policies for the
water system operation.
A primary component of this plan is the �rtion that establishes the water
conservation program that will be utilized over the long term to reduce
water demand to a level which adequately meets the City's requirements
for various situations. An emergency response comgonent is also incladed
and can be separated from this document to guide utility ogerations during
catastrophic events. This portion of the plan identifies the contingency plan
and workable altematives to the typical utility operation that can be easily
implemented. A related component will need to be added that addresses
wellhead protecrion. This program is not included in the Water Supply
Plan at this time since the Minnesota Deparnnent of Heaith has not
adopted the applicable rules.
The plan c.oncludes with a description of the steps necessary to implement
and institute the specific programs contained within the plan. A public
participation process is established along with a time peri� for progiam
implementativn. Perhaps one of the mQre important steps contained within
the conclusivn gortion of the plaa is the identification of changes that are
necessary to the Capital Improvement Program. �

Community Setting
Fridley is a fully develoged, fust-ring suburban community lying to the
north of the Twin Cities metro�litan area as depicted on Figure 1. The
current populatian is estimated at aPProlcimately 29,000 (1993) and the
number of persons employed by various businesses is approximately
23,370 (1995). Althougli there are feW a�'eas left for residential
development, some vacant iand does exist for commercial and industrial
development '

The majority of housing units within the City are single family, with the
remaining comprised of townhomes, apartments, and mobile homes.
Commercial nedes are concentrated around six intersections including
Mississippi 5tr�tfT.H. 47, Osborne Road/T.H. 47, 57th AvenueJT.H. 47,
Osbome Road/T.H. 65, East Moore Lake Drive/T.H. 65, and 53rd
Avenue/T.H. 65. The industrial areas are concentrated in the northem half
and sou�west quadrant of the community. Several major roadways serve
Fridley including I-694 that bisects the southern portion of the City; and
T.H. 65, T.H. 47, and East River Road (County Road 1) which provide
nc�rth-south rautes through the community. Other minor east-west routes
include Mississippi Street, Osbome Road, 61st Avenue, and East Moore
Iake Drive. .
The City is bounded on its west side by the Mississippi River, one of the
dominant environmental features of the community. Other water-related
r�ources include Moore Lake, Locke Lake, and Rice Cre�k. There are a
number of wetland basins within the community as identified by the City's
1993 wetland inventory. These wetland basins are now protected by the
Wetland Conservation Ac.t.
,�"'� -
The nat�u�l woallands remaining in the City are typically associated with
the water resources and either align the Mississippi River or the cr�ks
that enter into the river. Several isolated stands are protected within city
parks or the City's two nature centers.
The topography of the community is varied and influenced by the
waterways. Higher elevations exist in the eastern and southeast portions
of the community with the lowest elevations associated with the
�• Mississippi River floodplain in the northwest corner of the City.
Geologic Setting of the Community
Sur�'icial and Underlying Geology
The s�uficiai deposits of t�e Fridley a�a are classified as part of the Anoka
Sand Plain, and were deposited primarily by glacial ice and meltwater
during the most recent glaciatioa However, the glacial landscape has been
alt,ered by soil fonnat�on and erosion during the postglacial periods. All of
the glacial deposits were from the Grantsburg Sublobe and the overall
ttuckn�s of the surficial deposits range from 50 to 100 feet.
� There are five surficial deposits in Fridley. Two of the deposits are of
- glacial origin: lake sand and outwash deposits. The other three deposits are
of postglacial �igin: aliuviwn, eolian sand, and terrace deposits. All of the
. surficial deposits are pastglacial. ..
Public Water Supply — Emergency and Conservaaon Plan A-FRIDL9501.�
Fridley, Minnesota � Page 5
n
The lake sand deposits are found along the eastem boundary of Fridley and
�° consist of very fine to medium sand with minor silt, and includes some
areas of fluvial sand at or near the surface. The outwash deposits are
located in the northern portion of the City and generally consist of sand
and graveL Alluvium deposits have been identified along Rice Creek and
the Mississippi River. These deposits consist of primarily silty sand
overlaid in places by sandy loam or peat. Eolian deposits, dunes of very
fine to medium sand, are found in the extreme southeastem comer of the
City. The terrace daposits are mainly sand and gravel in nature and are
found over most of the western two-thirds of ihe City.
There are two types o� uppermost bedrock immediately beneath the
surficial de�sits within the Fridley city limits. The two formations are
called the S� Peter Sandstone and the Prairie du Chien Group. Both of
these bedrock wuts were deposited during the Ordovician periad. Depth
to the uppermost bedrock in Fridley ranges from 50 to 100 fee� �
The St Peter Sandstone is found as the uppermost bedrock in the southem
half of the City and is typically 155 fe�t thick. T�e upper half to two-thirds
of the formation consists of a fine- to medium grained, poorly cemented /'1
quartzase sandstane. The lower one-third to half of the forniation contains
multicolored beds of mudstone, siltstone, and shale w�th an interbedded,
very course sandstone. Many sand grains in the lower portion of the
formation are dark gray.
The Prairie du Chien Group underlies the S� Peter Sandstone and is
locatsd near the Mississippi River along the westem boundary of Fridley,
and in the northem one third of the City. Typically, the Prairie du Chien
Group is 280 feet thick and is comprised of two principal fomiations, the
Shakopee Fo�on and the Oneota. Dolomite, both of which are
predominantly light brownish-gray or buff, sandy, thin- to tluck bedded
�dolomite. It is typically varied and fiactured and contains some thin layers
of interbedded grayish=green shale. Bedrock geology is shown on Figure 2.

Aquifers and Groundwater Conditions
There are four aquifers in the Fridley area: the watertable system, the
Prairie du Chien Jordan, the Franconia lronton-Galesville, and the ML
Simon-I�inckley,
The uppermost aquifer, the watertable system, exists in many different
types of geologic materials. Some of these may yield water to wells, such
as sands and gravels, but others, such as till, do no� Due to the
heterogeneous nature of the glacial deposits, the watertable system is
highly variable in flow direction and velocity. Groundwater flow direction
is generally west or southwest toward the Mississippi River.
The other three aquifers aze bedrock aquifers. The uppermost bedrock
aquifer, the Prairie du Chien Jordan, is present throughout Fridley. The
Prairie du Cluen Group is up to 140 feet thick in some azeas and
groundwater flow is controlled by frachues, joints, and solution caviti�
within the dolomite. The Jordan Sandstone consists of fairly uniform
quartzose sandstone and is highly permeable. The groundwater flow
ttu'ougli this sandstone is piimarily intergranular. Since there is no �
confining unit between the Prairie du Chien Group and the Jordan
Sandstone, they act as a single aquifer. Groundwater flow direction is
unknown, but is l�cely west to southwest toward the Mississippi River.
'The approximate maximum ttriclaness of t�e aquifer is 470 fe�t and typical
yields to individual wells range from 500 to 1000 gallons per minute. Total
dissolved solids generally are less than S00 parts per million.
The Franconia lronton-Galesville bedrock aquifer exists beneath the
Prairie du Clnen Jordan aquifer. The St Lawrence Formation, a dolomite
shale and siltstone ranging in thickness from 30 to 75-feet, acts as the
confining unit betwe�n the two aquifers. The F�ranconia-Ironton-Gal�ville
is comprised of three parts. The upper 105 ta i90 feet consists of the
Franconia Formation, a glauconitic sandstone with some shaie and
dolomite. The ne�ct 25 to 30 feet consist of the Ironton Sandstone, and the
lower 30 to 35 feex consist of the Galesville Sandstone. All three units are
hydrologically connected, The groundwater flow direction in this aquifer
is also unknown, but it is l�cely toward. the Mississippi River. The
aPpra�ximate maximum tluclaae�s of the �qiufer is 330 feet. Typical yields
to individual wells range between 250 and 500 gallons per minute and total
dissolved solids are generally less than 500 parts per million.
The deepest bedreck aquifer is the Mt Simon-Hinckley. It is located
ben�tfi the Eau Clai� Formation, a 60- to 125-foot thick siltstone, shale, �
and s�ty sandstone, which ac�s as the confining urut between the M�
Simon-I�inckley aquifer and the Fi�►conia-Ironton-Galesville aquifer. It
consists of �e Mt. Simon Sandstone which rauges from 125 to 270 feet ..

in thickness and tha Hinckley Sandstone which is absent in many
localities. Where present, the Hinckley Sandstone is several tens of feet
thick. In general, the Mt Simon-Hinckley is hydraulically isolated from
the shallow groundwater systems and surface waters above it Therefore,
most of its recharge cames fiom leakage. The groundwater flow direction
and approxunate maximum thickness in the Fridley area in unknovvn•
Typical yields to inclividual wells range from 400 to 700 gallons per
minute and tatal dissolved solids range from 7� to 2400 parts per million.
According to the Regional Hydrogeologic Assessment of the Anoka Sand
Plain, the sensitivity rating for the watertable system to pollution in the
Fridley area ranges from very high in the central portion and eastern half
to high in the northeastern, southwestem, and extreme westem portions of
the City. A sensitivity rating is a qualitative measure of the susceptibility
of the aquifer to become contanunated from a release at the surface. The
ratings corresponcY to an e�stimat� iravel time for waterborne contaminants
at the land surface to reach the uppermost aquifer. A very high rating
corre.sponds ta a travel time of hours to months. A high rating corresgonds
to a travel rime of weeks to yeais.
Surface Water Characteristics
There are only two lakes within �e City of Fridley: Moone Iake and Locke
Lake. Moore Lake consists of an east bay aad a west bay. The lake is
approacimately 105 acros and has a maximum depth of 22 fee� According
to the 1994 Minnesota Lake Water Quality Assessment, the mean total
phosphorus, mean chlorophyll a, and allcalinity values for the east and west
bays during the summar are 58 and 99, 8 and 17, and 55,000 and 59,OU0
parts per billion, respectively. Waxer quality information for I.ocke Lake
was not available. �
There is �one jurisdictional cr�lc in Fridlay, Rice Cr�k. It is located in the
central portion of the City and runs east to west toward the Mississippi
River. Rice Creek discharges into and out of Locke Lake in the westem
portion of the City near where it discharges into the Mississippi River.
Water quality information is not available for Rice Creek. Other creek
watersheds that fall within Fridley include Springbrook, Oak Creek, aad
Glenn Creek.

Public Water System Development
The municipal water system within Fridley was established in the early
1950s and designed to replace intlividual private wells. The cuirent water
system includes 13 wells, two water treatment facilities, two elevated
water towers, and two ground reservoirs. Approlcunately 115 miles of
water main serves the community.
� Citj, contains tYu+� pressure zones due to the varied topography in the
community. The low level zone contains 11 wells, two treatment facilities,
two elevated water towers, and one ground storage reservoir. The
intermediate pressure zcane level contains two wells and the lugh service
level contains one reservoir.
In 1989, the City commissioned the PreParation of a Water System Study,
August 1989 to detemune future water needs based upon the capability of
the existing system. Additi�ally, information was gathered to evaluate the
operation of the water system, anaiyze potential water conservation
methods, develop a computer model of the distribution system, estimate
^, the costs of firture system improvements, and to preliminarily investigate
� i�i�fied contacnination �oblem. As a result of this study, an elevated
1,5 million gallon water tower was added to the system; improvements to
the booster pump � system were installed, and a well contamination
monitoring program was instituted. TCAAP (Twin City Army
Ammunition Plant), a water main distribution system to�New Brighton,
was completeci in 1994 with maximum flows of 2 million gallons per day
�� �� from �ptember d�ra�gh April and 300,000 gallons per day &om April to
. September. -
Aquifer and Groundwater Suppiy
The Fridley municipal water system depends upon the Prairie du Chien-
Jordan fornaation, the Mt. Simon-I�inckley formation, and glacial drift.
The Prairie du Chien Jordan group snPPlies Wells No. 6-9 and 12-13. The
Mt Simon-Hinckley group supplies Wells No. 1-5 and Well No. 11 is
supplie,d from the Franconia lronton-Galesville group. Well No. 10 is
served &om glacial draft material• wells No. 6, 8, and 9 were originally
drilied to glacial drift but subsequently deepened to the Prairie du Chien-
Jordan group.
Well Characteristics

Hinckley aquifer and Well No. 11 which draws water from the
Franconia/Galesville Fonnation. The 1994 static levels af all other wells
are similar to the levels when the wells were originally drilled.

� Trunk Water System and�Service Areas
The Fridley water system consists of approximately 115 miles of water
main which wuy from 2 inches to 24 inches in diameter. The majority of
the system is conshucted of cast iron pipe. Water is distributed into three
service areas in the City wtuch are divided according to topogiaplrical
conditions.
The low service area serves approximately 66°l0 of the community and
encompasses the westem half of Fridley. Due to supply, fire flow and
o�ration issues raised ia the 1989 Water System �Study, the City
constr�cted a 1 S million gallon elevated tower at Locke Park to serve
c:ustomers within this zone and to supply a portion of water to the
intermediate and high service areas: Water pressure within this zone
ranges from 45 to 85 pounds per square inch (psi).
The low service area contains two booster pumps located at Commons
... Park which supplement the capacity of the nearby filtrarion plan� One of
the 11 wells located within the low service area (Well No. 9) has been
taken out of service due to the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE). The
levels of TCE in the water from this well exceeds the Minnesota
DeFadment of Health's recommended contaminant level. Additionally,
Wells No. 6-8 within this service area are cuirently being monitored for
TCE.
The in�rmediate service area comprises the eastem third of the City and
approlcimately 33% of the total system demand. Pumps at Well Sites No. 1
and No. 12 transfer water from the low service area to this zone of the
City. A vv�ater main loop near the Skywood Mall was completed within this
area in 1�1 to increase syst$m reliability and to deliver required fire flows
to the mall. The 63rd Avenue booster station was also reconstructed in
conjunc�iion with unprovements associated with the TCAAP remediation
plants to provide better water service to the intermediate and high service
areas.
The extreme southeast �rtion of the community is included within the
high setvice are,a. This area contains only 1% of the community and is
entirely residential. The Marion Hills pumping station which pmvides
v�aater gr+�re at 4U to 48 psi serves this areas as does a 1 S million gallon
standpipe ground reservoir. There is no elevated storage which serves the
high servicx area.
�n 1�i3, the City, in conjunction with New Brighton and the United States
,� Army, constructed a water main to distribute excess water from New
Brighton's needs to the City of Fridley from the TCAAP remediation
plants. This system supplies 2 million gallons of water per day during

nonpeak months and .4 mgd during the summer peak months to augment
-• the City's supply system. The system is connected at 29th Avenue in New
Brightan and extends thmugh the 63rd Avenue booster station to the main
seivice line on the west side of T.H. 65 at 63rd Avenue.
The city storage facilities include two elevated tanks and two ground
reservoirs. One of the ground level neservoirs serves the low service area
and the other consists of a standpipe wluch serves the intermediate and the
high service areas. Table 4 below provides characteristics of the existing
water storage facilities.

Water Treatment Facilities
There are two water treatrnent facilities, one at Locke Park and the other
at Commons Park, that service the majority of Fridley customers. Water
treatment includes removal of iron and manganese from the water. The
treatment facilities were originally designed to remove only iron. The
Common Park plant was upgraded in 1988 and the Locke Park plant in
1994 to add manganese r�moval. The nominal capacity of the Commons
Park �ent plant was 8400 gallons per minutes (gpm}. However, since
Well No. 9 was taken out of service, this facility is only operated at 6500
gpm. This treatrnent plant pumps into the overhead tank during the
daytime and at night, into the ground storage reservoir.
The Locke Park treatment plant oper�es at 2Q00 gpm. Table 5 depicts the
characteristics of these two facilities.

3ased upon a 10 year (1984-1993) average.
Wells No.1,12, and 13 do not connect to the existing treatment facilities
due to the distance to the facilities and lack of treatment capacity. In 1994,
the untreatefl water comprised 34% of the total water pumped by city wells
due to the repair project at the Locke Park Plant, the limited capacity of the
four Commons Park contaminated wells, and summer demands. �In'
addition, water the City receives from the TCAAP is only partially treated.
However, the New Brighton water system is to be upgraded for iron and
manganese removal in later 1995. Table 6 below depicts the filtered
compared to the unfiltered water pumped in the City.

Water Supply Interconnections
The City has a major interconnection with the City of New Brighton as
descn'bed earlier which introduces water iato the low and/or intermediate
water system. Residential water services are also provided to Coon Rapids,
Mounds View, and New Brighton It is also possible that water main
interconnections can be made with Spring Lake Pazk and Minneapolis.
However, cannections with th�e cities may nat result in water quality that
meetc residential needs without furtt�er treatrnen� Appendix A contains
copies of tdie interconnection agreements.
Weiihead Protection Program
The wellhead protection program has not been fully incorporated into this
plan because the State DeparcYnent of Health rules with respect to wellhead
protection have not yet been adopted. However, preliminary inventory
information has been included in portions of this plan because of their
relationship to wellhead protectioa The wellhead protection plan w�l
become gart of this plan following the adoption of the State rules.
The City of Fridley agrees to develap a wellhead protection plan in
compliance with Minnesota Department of Health rules once those rules
are published and a schedule is set forth for this community's compliance.
The City of F�idley is ranked as No. 598 on the Department of Health
vulnerability list. This list was developed by the State Department of
Nat�nal Resources to ascertain the vulnerability of groundwater
contamination by surface sources. Each public water supplier has been
supplied a ranking based upon population and potential contamination
sources.
Water Supply Policies, Objectives and Standards for
Utility Operations
The �ty of Fridley has established the poficies listed on the next page that
are dine�ted towards the operation, improvement, and conservation of its
water supply system. It is not anticipated that major expansions to the
system v�+�l occur due to the status of development within the City. Based
ugon the inventory and analysis of future demands, the primary focus of
the plan is service delivery and water conservation.

�. INVENTORY: ANALYSIS OF WATER DEMAND
Discussion of Historical Water Use and Suppiy:
1985 —1995
The foIlowing secxion.descn'b�s the Past water.use and demand of the City
of Fridley. An analysis of this experience over the past 10 years will assist
in ascertaining the needs of the Fridley water system in the coming years.
Past Water Use Records
Fridley is a neazly fully�developed community and substanrial growth is
not expected based upon past trends and the availability of land for new
development . The City has maintained records of water service
connections since 1985. The categories of connection ty� are general and
are deSned 1�low:
� Residential — Include.s all single family, two to four family
buildings, townhomes, apartment buildings, condominium units
: and mobile homes.
.
� Commercial/Industcial — Combines commercial and industrial
uses. Each service connection represents a single business, or
group of businesses located in one building. -
�► Instibrtional — Includes nonprofit uses such as schools,
churches, citY, county, and state buildings.
Table 7 depids the number of water connections by category from 1985
to 1994 by use.

Fridley, Minnesota Page 23
TABLE 7
• Service Connections: 1985 —1994
The number of r+esidential service connections has increased slighdy on an
annual basis since 1985. The largest increase occurred in 1990. However,
the annual iucrease in residential service connections has never exceeded
1 S%, indic�tting a low level of residenrial growth.
L�cewise, the combined commercial and industrial connections have also
increased slighdy since 1985. Institutional connections have remained
fairly even with an increase of only eight service connections since 1985.
Records of water use by customer category have only been maintained
since 1993. Table 8 depicts the volume of water use by customer category.

TABLE 8
Water Use by Customer Category
Water use by residential categories increased between 1993 and 1994.
Typical residential water use includes indoor household appliances,
swimming pools, iawn irrigarion, and other similar butdoor use. As noted
later, the time of heaviest residential water use is during the summer
months when outdoor use consumpdon substantially increase. Much of the
residential summer use in Fridley is devoted to lawn irrigation and garden
sprinkling. The 1994 �.sidential per capita use of water was 89 gallons per
aa.y.
Commercial and industrial vvater use declined significantly between 1993
and 1994. The reason for. the decline is that FMC, a major defense
contractor went through a reorganization due to federal budget cutbacks
resulting in a decrease in water use. The second largest historic
commerciaVindustrial water user in the City, Quebecor, vacated their
building in 1992. This building is now vacant and it is anticipated that the
commerciaU'u►dustrial wazer use will increase when a new occupant is
found.
In 1994, the commercial and industrial use of water accounted for
approximately 4(}% of the City's water use. The only major large volume
water user wIuch exceeds 5% of. the City's praduction is FMC. This
facility utilized 139.2 million gallons of the 1994 total water production
of 1835.7 mg. The ma.jor users which fall below the threshold include
Medtronic, the Onan Corparation facilities, and Unity Hospital.
Instihitionai uses consume a small percentage of annual water production
and is not proj� to grow• Public buildings within this category include
City Hall, fire stations, schools, and other sitnilar uses.
iJna,ccounted water uses include sprinkling of public properties, fires, fire
hydrant flushing, under-registrarion of ineters, leakage within the system

TABLE 9
� Water Pumped Use versus Water Sold
Seasonal and Peak Water Demand
As may be expecte�, the summer months are those that demand the
gr+eatest production of water with the winter months being relatively the
lowesG Because outside water use by residential custamers does not occur,
the winter months will continue to be lower than the summer months.
Table 10 depicts the seasonal characteristics of water production for
Fridley from 1988 to 1992 when this type of staristical information was
collected. _

Maximum monthly demands occurred during the 1987-89 drought when
high temperatures accompanied little rainfall. The peak demand month
occurred in June 1988 during the drought when 405.4 mg were pumped
&om the Fri�y water system. The lugher dema�ad due to the drought was
caused by greater water usage by customers for outdoor sprinkling and
indoor cooling.
Data has also been coIlected from the utility billing division of the F'uiance
Deparlment to analyze manthly water use by customer category for 1994.

Future Water Demand And Supply Needs
Alth�gh the C'rty is nearly fully develaped, there are still opportunities for
the developcnent of vacant commercial and industrial land and
redevelopment opportunities• As Part of the 1989 Water System Study, a
projection of future water consumption needs was prepared based upon
past consumption and available land for new developmen� In addition, this
study reviewed the existing water supply system and recommended
changes based upon ths future projected ne�ds as well as issues associated
with the existing system. The following section presents future water
demand projections and lisrs issues with the current systeme
Projected Water Suppiy Needs
The previous study reviewed past residential water consumption on a per
capita basis since little vacant land e�sts for this type of use. Therefore,
the largey�t factor that will influence residential water demand will be
climatic influences and residents' needs to respond�to those influences.
The increa.ce demand for water during the I987-89 drought is an example
of this influence. � � � �
For planning purpose.s, the 1989� Water System Study utilized a rate of 65
gallons per capita ger day for residential purposes. This was based upon
the 1988 winter quarter water usage. The 1993 'and 1994 water
consumption records indicate an average annual per capita residential
water use of 70 gallons per da.y in 1993 and 87 gallons per day in 1994.
Tl� s�nnmer of 1�3 was characterized by lower average temperatures but
sufficient rainfall compared to other years. The summer of 1994 was
c�nside� "naimar' in average rainfall and tem�rature. Therefore, for a
cons�vative projection, 90 gallons per day is utilized for the projected
water supply in this study, assuming no conservation methods are
instituted and "nomnal" summer conditions continue into the future.
In 19�, of the 1728 acr�s of zoned commercial/industrial land, 87% was
developed. For planning Purposes, it �s assumed that the remaining vacant
acreage vvill undergo development by 2010. The 1989 Water System Study
estimated that water demand per acre �r day was 1650 gallons based
up� die winter billing rate. Although this agpears to be somewhat high in
review of 1993 and 1�4 commerciaU'industrial actual water demand, it is
probably reasonable given the vacant Quebecor building and conditions at
the FMC facility. Further, this number represents a conservative approach
in that it represents full occupancy of commercial/'mdustrial pro�rties.
As indicated in Table 12, there will be slight growth in water use as the
population stabilizes as projected in 2010. Also, commerciaU'mdustrial

water demauds will slightly increase as additional properiy undergoes
• development There are no projected incre� in institutional or public use
of water given the stable population projections. Therefore, no projections
have been estimated for these uses. The actual 1994 institutional and
unallocated water use has been included in Table 12 below.

Tfie current capacity of the water supply system is sufficient to
accommodate projected water demand assuming the contamination issues
associated with the system do not require the abandonment of any more
wells without alternative supply treatments or replacemen� The well

in the year 2010 is 2176.6 mgy. -
Current Issues with. Water System
!�^'1
�
As a result of the 1989 Water System Study, the City has completed
several improvements to its water system These improvements include the
constiuction of a 1 S millian gallon overhead tank facility west of Highway
65, t�e 63rd Street booster station, and the Skywood Mall water main loop.
Additionally, the City recently completed the Twin City Army
Ammutrition Plant water distnbution cannection in conjunction with New
Brighton and the United States Ariny to receive 2 million gallons of
treated water per day during nonpeak months and a SCADA system
installation. However, certain other improvements are required in order to
ensure reliability with the cuirent system. The following discusses these
issu�: �,
Public Water Supply — Emergency and Conservation Plan A-FRIDL9501.00
Fridley, Minnesota Page 30 .
�
Water Treafinent
In early 1995, the City commissioned the preParation of a report to
examine feasible mathods for increasing the amount of filtered water for.
custamer use. The report titled Water Treu,tment Study April, 1995
prepared by MSA, Consulting Engineers resulted from the plans to
upgrade the New Brighton water system in fall 1995, which will provide
iron and manganese �ated water• to Fridley via the TCAAP main. After
this improvement is installed, 1(10% of Fridley customers will receive
fiitered water betwe�n October and April. However, because it is
anticipated that no exc�ss water from TCAAP will be available to Fridley
customers during the • peak summer months, the study examines
alternatives: for increasing filtered water caPacity from existing city wells.
The study concludes with several recommendations that will be able to
achieve between 95% and 100% filtered water for the City during the peak
water months depending upon the chosen altemative. The City will need
to determine wluch alternative is the most cost-effective for the desired
degree of filtered water. . ,
Wisll Water Contamination
^ One of the most significant issues with the Fridley water supply system is
contamination of weIl water supplies• To date, concentrations of TCE have
b�n found in Wells No. Cr9 in the Commans Park well field. These wells
draw water from the Prairie du Chien Jordan group and are within close
proximity to each other. In 1990, Well No. 9 was taken out of service
be�au.se TCE conc;antcabion leveLs exc�eded safe drinlang water standards.
This well is tested on a quarterly basis and Wells No. 6-8 are tested on a
mon�ly basis wh$never they are used to deternnine a history of TCE
levels. The City has been working with the Department of Health,
Degartment of Natural Resources, the Pollution Control Agency, and the
Cities of Mounds V'iew and New Brighton to determine the origination of
contamination. As pa�t of an agre�ment with the United States Army with
the Twin Cities Army Aminunition Plant contamination cleanup, the City
is recei�ring water from New Brighton during off peak months to augment
� city supplies. In addition to the above, periodic testing is also being
. performed on other municipal wells.
Wells A1o. Cr9 ha.ve historically produced over 41% of the water utilized
by Fridley custo�rs. Therefore, it is important to understand the
implications of the TCE contamination in relation to current and future
water supply needs.
^ The mast recent water quality data is summazized in a report titled Fridley
Water Quality Study for 1994 completed in May, 1995, by B.A. Liesch
Ass�iates, Inc. This ' re�rt also identifies water quality trends and

�tY P�P to deliver required fire flow to the intermediate
zone and meter the pumps to anticipate future demand to the
area. This project is scheduled for 199Cr1997.
� Eliminate I�ad End Lines
There are several dead end water lines in the City which
inhbit fire fighting abilities and limit service to residents. The
City has scheduled looping of these dead ends over the next
five years, whenever possible.
♦ Data Collection
The SCADA water utility regorting system was installed in'
199q, to assist in automatic conirol of the city sewer and water
utilities. This system will assist in monitoring water storage,
treatrnent plant operation and pumping activities.
The City may wish to collect more complete statistical
information with regard to user characteristics of the watier
system. For example, additional� categories could be
�tablished to track water consumption Residential categories•
could be split into single family, owner-occupied multi-
family, and rental family units. This would allow the City to
determine patterns in water consumPtion use for residenrial
proper�. Iakewise, commercial and industrial uses could be
divi�d to deternnine use characteristics.
Lastly, it would be helpful to determine the characteristics of
unaccounted and nonprofit uses. The separation of this data.
into categories wauld assist the City in deterauning the future
needs of the water supply system and the cost effectiveness of
water cflnservation methods.

. _ WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
Need and Purpose of Water Conservation
The C'ity of Fridley recognizes that water conservation efforts are needed
to reduce overall, long-term demand for water. If wisely impiemented,
appropriate water conservation methods should not substautially impact
the user and yet should provide for a reasonable supply of water during
periods of water shortages. The water conservation program will aLso serve
a regional need ia conserving graundwater resources. It is expected that
each of the components of the entire city water supply system will utilize
conservation components.
Analysis of Current 1Nater Conservatio� Efforts
The City of �ridley instituted two water sprinkIing restrictions as a result
of the irapacts of the 1987-89 drought and because of reduced capacit�► as
a result of contamination levels found within four of its vKells. However,
the City recogriizes that additional efforts are necessary' in ord�r to
responsi'bility manage the C'rty's water system. These efforts are reflected ^
in the intenconnecxion with New Brighton groundwater remediation efforts
and the propasal to utilize the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordinance Plant
(NIROP) groundwater produc�t. This plan will not only serve regional
conservation concerns with graundwater supply, but wili also address
recent problems with weIl contamination. The following section describes
cxnrent programs that are in place that manage the efficiency of the water
system
Metering Program
The City cucrenfly requires that all connections to public services be
metered The majority of ineters are read quarterly by the property owner
and recorded on a card that is returned to the City. The meters for large
commercial customers are read by the City Water Division.
The meters are owned by the customers. Since 1985, the City has requuued
customers to purchase meters fram die City to ensure a consistent type and.
quality. Over the last ten years, the City has taken aggressive steps to
ensure that all buildings in the City are metered which has unproved
record keeping and system revenues and reduced the volume of water
classified as unallocated.

Water Audit Program
The City's water audit program is informal and includes an aaalysis of
w�er use, water charges, meter regair, and replacement of outdated water
pipes. The total unaccounted for water losses has decreased since 1986
and is relatively low as a result of improvements to the system.
Water main breakage is one of the factors that the City uses in determining
the need for replacemen� Because the water main system is constructed
of cast iron pipe, it is 1'kely that water main breakage will continue into the
future. This is one of the factors that contributes to the volume of
unaccounted for water loss noted in Table 9 earlier in this report.
The Water Division estimates that the unaccounted for water use is split
between the under registration of ineters, leakage within the system, fire
fighting adivities, sprinkling of public pmperties and other miscellaneous
public purposes. The amount of unaccounted water use is within reason
for a system of this size. The American Water Works Association
(AWWA) suggests that unaccounted water use comprises no more than
10% of tat�l water demand. The �ty has been under this recommendation
since 1990. However, efforts continue to be taken to maintain low
unaccounted water use.
Water Rates
Ths sewer and water utilities have been established� as enterprise funds and
charges have been designed to pay for maintenance and operation of the
systems. The City has historically utilized a decreasiag block pricing
method for water consumption which has not been altered since 1990.
Table 13 depicts the annual water rat�es and Appendix B contain copies of
the waterrate ordinances.
Public Wafer Supply — Emergency and Conservation Plan A-FRIDL9501.00
Fridley, Minnesota Page 35
r"�
TABLE 13
• Fridley and Metro Area Water Rates
The cost of water for Fridley customers is relatively inexpensive when
compared to the metropolitan area as a whole. The City utilizes a quarterly
billing system and the City is divided into three districts. Because the
water iates are low, the water utility collections do not cover operating
expenses nor can long term improvements to the system continue to l� ^
funded from the utility fund.
The City is considering implementing an increasing block method of water
charges on an annuai basis. This action wauld provide economic incentive
to customers to conserve water since savings would accrue to those who
ut�7ized less water. Additionally, this method could recover c.�ts to pa.y for
long teim operation and maintenance of the water utility system. A study
should be pregared to examine various levels of chazges before
implementation to ensure that long-term improvement casts that may
include remediation for the Commons Park contamination are included.
Lastly, the City may want to examine the pr�ss for increasing charges
during emergency periods such as a drought that will provide a stronger
incentive to reduce water usage. �
Water Conservation Regulations
The City instituted water conservation restrictions twice during the
1987-89 drought. These restrictions allowed for add-even sprinkling by
customers from 12:� to 8:00 p.m, during the day. It should be noted that
the bans were institute� because of the issues associated with the
cantamination of the Commons Park well field and due to a community
concern to conserve water. Each of the water restrictions were in effect
during the summer months and were removed in 1990. �
Public Water Supply — Emergency and Conservation Plan A-FRIDL9501.00
Fridley, Minnesota Page 36
�
The City is also in ttee praxss of updating its Floodplain and Wetland �
• Ordinances to preclude filling and offer more protection of these areas.
These ordinances will ensure that these resources which serve as
groundwater�recharge areas in the City will be p� from development
and contamination.
Retrofitting Programs
The City's Community Development Department administers the State
Plvmbing Code as part of its inspection services division This code
requires that water-saving plumbing fixtures be ntilized for new
construction and remodeling projects that involve fixdue exchange. The
City includes public building replacement and retrofitting as part of its
Capital Improvement Program. As pmjects meet the cost effectiveness test
for rec�nstruction and retrofitting, water conserving fixtures are included
in the project.
Pressure Control and Reduction
Tlie majority of Fridley's system (66%) is served by the low pressure zone
� from which treatment plants discharge watsr into water mains at a range
of 45-85 psi. The two higher ground elevation zones in the City require
that water from the low pressure zone be boosted to serve customers in
these areas. From a water system standpoint, it is impractical to reduce
pressure for water conservation purposes due to fire needs and topographic
constraints within the community. Because of the need to maintain
pressure for fire fighting activities, reducing Pressure as an emergency
response procedure would be counterproductive. The American Water
Works Association recommends this techniqne be examined in areas
where pressures exceed 80 psi.
��
Educational Programs
The City implemented an educational program throughout the community
during the drought years to emphasize the benefits of water conservation
efforts. The City—through its newsletter and calile television—promoted
the benefits of water conserving measures and presented the components
of lawn sprinkling re�ictions• The local newspapers also promoted these
water conservatioa efforts on a periodic basis.

Future Water Conservation Considerations
The development and operation of the City's water supply system has
b�ame increasingly efficient over the yeais. However, efforts need to be
taken that will address city concerns with existing and potential
contamination of city wells in the Prairie du Chien Jordan group; costs of
ope�ating the water supply system and ac:commodating firture large capitol
imPmvements; as well as regional concerns with water conservation. The
foIlowing programs are these that the City will investigate and implement
within the next five years: �
�' Metering • .
The City will study the need to automate its meter reading
program to ensure that a�curate results are registered with the
City. This program wouId include a phased process to obtain
ownerslup of all meters for. control purposes and a meter
registration procedure. In addition, meters would be read by the
City either by utilizing personnel or utilizing remote/radio
controlled readers.
This is an area where coordination with other cities may be cost �
effective. For example, contcacting with another city to provide
meter reading services and bulk purchase of uniform meters
would provide a benefit to the City as well.
� Water Audit
A fonnal water audit program will be develo�d that will assist
in analyzing the unaccounted water losses within the City and
anticigate Iong range improvements needed to the water system
that can be inncorporated into the Capital Improvement Program.
This Program is snggested because of the age of the water
supply system and will assist the City in andcipating
reconst�uction of failing segments of water main.
♦ Water Rates
The City will increase its w►ater rates due to concerns regazding
the ability of the utility to pa.y for operation and long term
maintenance as well as to provide finauciai incentives for water
conservation. A rate study should be conducted to determine a
feasible method for long term maintenance of the water system
that will provide water conservation incentives.
� Sprinkling Restrictions
The City will develop
restrictions during the
a long term program for sprinkling /"'�
summer months. This program is

�
. suggested as a result of gotential contamination problems with
. Wells No. 6-9, and to conserve water from an environmental
. standpoint The sprinkling restrictions will be targeted towards
. all user groups. Additionally, as infonnation is collected with
the implementation of the SCADA system, the City may want
to analyze this infurmation and educate customers of the
economic and environmental savings due to water conservation
efforts.
�► Educ�tion
The City will promote city programs and water conservation
devices through the city newsletter, cable television and the
local newspapers. Additionally, promotion of semi-public and
private initiatives such as the NSP "pealc shaving" program and
water saving plumbing devices will assist water system
customers.

EMERGENCY PLAN
Emergency Procedure Update for Water Supply
T� �lY n�� ��'ds that could disrupt the Fridley water supply and
distribution system include tomadoes, severe stonns, flooding (to a limited
extent), drought, and water bome diseases. Human-caused disasters
include the release of hazardous materials into the supply or the system,
contamination, structur�i fir�, a major construction or transportation
accident, or vandalism. Contamination of several wells in Fridley has
already occurred. However, these occurnences are not considered a
"disasbei" since sufficient potable water is available from other city wells
or other sources. �'he City has an administrative and information system
in place to manage events during one of the above mentioned disasters.
The cunr�ent Emergency Response plan for the City of Fridley was adopted
in 199Q and Public Safety Projects Coordinator for the City is currently
updating this plan to reflect changes in personnel and oper�ting
prc�cedures. Although there is not a specific chapter that is centered upon
the effecxs of hazards �n the water supply and system companents, several
items are included in the adopted pIan that apply to water. The following �„�
section reviews patential issues to be considered in an emergency situation (
and concludes with a list of recommendations for water utility related
items to be included in the Emergency Response plan,
Conjunctive Use of Surtace and Groundwater
The feasibility of utilizing surface water as the City's primary source of
water during nonemergency periods for Fridley is limited for several
reasons. First, the City is nearly fully developed and considerable public
money has been expended in developing a system that relies upon
groundwater supplies. To coa�huct facilities that would utilize surface
water would not be cost effective given the inveslments made in the
system to date. Secondly, although Fridley is adjacent to the Mississippi
River it would be more prudent to purchase water from 1Vlinneagolis
because ths river water would be treated. However, this water is not
treated to the same characteristics as the Fridley system.
Alternative Sources of Water
There are several alternative sources of water that could serve Fridley's
needs in the event of a disaster. However, several involve significant
capital expense if they are to be implemented.
First, the Mounds View and Spring Lake Pazk water systems are similar �
in design to the interconnection with New Brighton and could be used to

supplement the City's water system. Second, there is the 1VIROP
. remediation facility water source that could be added to the City's
distribution system. Third, wastewater treatment facilities cauld produce
� water. However, the cl�e.st facility is �e.Pigs Eye Treatment Plant
located to the south in Minneapolis near the Mississippi River.
Considerable cost would be incwxed to extend the necessary facilities to
serve Fridley. Lastly, there are two 60-inch mains with intakes at the
Mississippi River that serve the City of St Paul and traverse the northern
limits of Fridley. An interconnection to these mains could be made and
service prot►ided to Fridley assuming the nece.ssary agreements are
approved by the City of St. Paul.
There may be some opportunity for area industries to reuse water.
However, there would need to be a 5nancial incentive in order for
industries to invest in the necessary equipment to recycle water. If city
water rates are increased, this alternative may prove to be cost effective.
Water Supply Shortage Plan
The following section describes the manner in which the City of Fridley
has or will address short and long-term water reduction and allocation
� measures during times of water shortages.
,�
1. Conservation Efforts. These t�hniques should be utilized on an
annual basis and instituted by the City:
A. Public Education. The City will develop an infornnal
education pragram thr+ough the city newsletter, cable
television, and the local newspapers to inform the
public of the need for water conservation.
B. Sprinkling Restrictipa The City could institute an
annual sprinkling restriction program or ordinance
with penalties for all users of the Fridley water system.
G Promotion of Energy Effcient Retrofitting Programs.
The City's Community Development Deparlment will
provide assistance to residents and contractors
regarding the water conservation regulations of the
State Plumbing Code and distribute NSP energy
conservation materials.
A water demand reduction goal has not lxen established
because of data colledion limitations. The City should establish
a data collection program that will ascertain the water demand
Public Water Supply — Emergency and Conservation Plan A-FRIDL9501.00
Fridley, Minnesota Page 41
by user group to determine the effectiveness of the above
' progiams.
2. Water Emergency Cdnditions. During periods of drought or
emergency conditions, the City of Fridley will iristitute
Procedures tt�at are more stringent than the above water
conservation efforts. The definition of a"water emergency
condition� shaIl be detenmined according to the water tower and
reservoir levels, when 5re fighting abilities are threatened, or
the inability of the production facilities to reestablish a
minimum of� 24-hour reservoir storage. The Public Works
Director will establish a threshold for determining when
conditions wamant the implementation of such measures. The
following actions will be followed:
A. Administrative Actions
• The City Council will adopt a procedure to declare
a water emergency and adopt an emergency
ordinance Iimiting water use to city customers.
• An educational program that describes the severity
and effects of the emergency will be instituted as ^
well as a description of the regulatory and
enforesment procedures included with the
ordinance.
B. Emergency Ordinance provisions
The emergency ordinance will include provisions that
address the specific situation. The ordinance may
include but not be limited to the following items:
• Prolubition of outdoor sprinkling on a continual
basis. �
• Increased penalties and fees for violation of the
sprinkling restriction ordinance.
• Limitation or prolubition of swimming pool filling,
car washing, and other similaz residential uses.
• Limitation or prohibition of water use for
commercial c�r washes.
• Restrict restaurants from serving water to �
customers on a voluntary or mandatory basis.
• Reqoire oper�ttors of large air conditioning systems
to recycle cooled water as appropriate.
C. Utility Operation Program ,�
The performance of routine public operadons shall be
redirected to reduce water demand. The following aze

�,
r"�
� easily implemented on a short term basis that may
.� affect the aesthetics of the City but will not harm city
facilities on a long-term basis.
• Reduce fire hydrant and mainline flushing
activities to an absolute minimum.
• Eliminate street cleaning activities except for .
emergencies.
• Eliminate 5re fighting drills that utilize water.
• purchase water from the surrounding cities such as
� Minneapolis if the emergency condihon is limited
to the Fridley water supply system
• Bypass the iron and manganese fiiter systems,
thereby eliminating the need far backwash.

WATER SUPPLY AND CONSERVATION PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION
This plan will serve as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan
including the amendment to the sewer and water chapter that was recenfly
approved by the City and ttie Metropalitan Council, ps nated earlier in this
rePort, the current water supply system is sufficient to accommodate the
firture growth and reaevelopment activities that w71 occur in Fridley to the
year 2010 and beyond assuming that no additional contamination problems
are found without suitable supply �ent or replac�men� Further, no
impacLs to the existing Comprehensive Plan are anticipated as a result o�
this plan. •
However, an operational work plan with suggested completion dates
should be implemented by the City wluch include the following:
v Collection of water use data by expanded .customer ca�egaries.
The commerciaU'lndustrial Category co�ld be collected
separately, residential categories separated into dwelling unit
tyPe, and unaccoimted and nonprofit uses could be defined and
seParated accordingly. Completion Date: �
� Water use information collected by customer category on a
quaRerly or annual basis to determine annual trends and
seasonal fluctuations. Completion Date:
� Data collection and analysis of data to deterinine demand
reduction during the s�unmer months by implementation of
sPrinkling restrictions. Completion Date:
� Automation of the meter reading program wluch would include
the development of a process to obtain city ownership of all
meters to ensure quality control. Completion Date:
� Development of a water audit progiam that would assist in
analyzing unaccounted water losses and anticipate long-range
water main replacements. Completion Date:
♦ Development of an ordinance restricting water use for
conservation purposes and in anticipation of future water
contamination possibilities. Completion Date:
� An educarion program should be prepazed to assist in the •�
implementation of the ordinance a.imed at water conservation
benefits. Completion Date:

,��
�
�
�
��
� Detemnination of level af water filtration facilities. Completion
. Date: .
♦ Resolution of preferred remediation method for well water
contamination. Completion Date:
Minor physical chang�.s that are recommended to the City's water system
include:
� The cantinual need to "loop„ water mains to pmvide lugh water
9ualitY-
. y
� The installation of the Marion Hills boaster station to ensure
adequate fire flows. �
� Replacement of the Well No. 1 booster pump to deliver
required 5re flow and pump metering. �
� Development of an increasing block method of water charges
and/or a summer water rate that will promote water
conservation efforts. A financial study of this recommendation
should occur prior to implementation to ensure sufficient
revenue will exist for system o�ration and maintenance.
The implementarion of the above itetns should not significantly impact the
financial resources of the City dependent upon the resolution of the
contamination. The capital projects are included in the Capital
Improvements Program except items pertaining to treatment of potential
contamination problems and further water filtering for iron and manganese
removal. These items will need to be included in the program once the
City determines the appropriate method for resolution.
The Emergency Resgonse Procedure that is cuirently being amended
should include the items included in the "Water Supply Shortage Plan"
section of this plan in order to prepare for emergencies that involve the
City's water supply system.
In conclusion, the City should develop a schedule for implementarion of
the above noncapital items. As items are unPlemented, this plan should be
reviewed, amended, and approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council.
