The following section should be added to the Community facilities Plan. SEWER AND WATER As both the original sewer and water systems were designed to accomodate substantial growth and expansion, no significant problems are forseen in absorbing the projected future household growth. The City is entirely served by sanitary sewer at this time. In addition the Little Canada /Shoreview Interceptor should be completed in Little Canada near the end of 1978. The Little Canada Comprehensive Sewer Plan which was done in 1976 indicated that the current sanitary sewer system was designed to a capacity which would serve a population of approximately 18,000. The saturation population for Little Canada (see appendix) is approximately 14,500 while the Metropolitan Council population projection for Little Canada is 12,500 by the year 2000. Based upon those figures, the current system appears to be adequate. The system is currently in good condition with little or no evidence of inflow or infiltration. Although the lift station on Edgerton Street may need improvement in the future, this facility now belongs to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and would be their responsibility. Little Canada has recently experienced problems regarding the existing water system. However, the soon to be completed water system improvements should bring the system to a design capacity capable of serving 14,000 residents. If the population were to exceed this capacity, the City would have to consider further improvements such as an additional storage tank. However, as 14,500 is projected to be the saturation point for Little Canada based upon maximum altimate land use, it is highly unlikely that the community will reach that point. The following replaces the Governmental Building section: GOVERNMENTAL BUILDINGS The existing City offices which were completed in 1974 are considered to be adequate for future needs. However, should the City at some time in the future require more space, the possibility of renting or aquiring the old Little Canada School building across from the Fire Department. Police protection is currently provided by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. As this has been determined to be the most cost effective method of providing police protection to the community, there is no need to plan for related facilities at this time. 19
