Environmental Board <br />January 27, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />Erin Heydinger from WSB presented the fesabiltiy study for stormwater reuse in the <br />proposed 400 acre residentional Mattamy Homes Development. <br />The option that is recommended includes irrigation of townhomes, park and public <br />spaces. Funding for the project is proposed through development fees generated from <br />surface water management fees and City trunk water system funds. <br />This would be using storm water to irrigate not ground water. It is estimated that 40% of <br />the City's water goes towards irrigation. The North and East Metro Groundwater <br />Management District is asking all city's in the northeast metro to try and reduce their <br />water usage by 17% and the DNR is looking into giving the cities some kind of credit if <br />they go beyond this using water conservation initiatives. <br />Ms. Bor would like to look over this information and any questions from the board <br />should be directed to Mr. Grochala. <br />C.
