F. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Adequacy of Water Supply System. Are water supply installations, treatment facilities and distribution systems adequate to sustain current and projected demands? ❑ Yes ® No If no, describe any potential capital improvements over the next ten years and state the reasons for the proposed changes. CIP Attachment (B) The current water supply wells, treatments and storage will require additions during the next ten year period. (See CIP Attachment B) Proposed Water Sources. Does your current CIP include the addition of new wells or intakes? ® Yes ❑ No If yes, list the number of new installations and projected water demands from each for the next ten years. Plans for new production wells must include the geologic source formation, well location, and proposed pumping capacity. The City's current CIP for the next 10 years include wells, storage facilities, and a water treatment plant. Well locations are shown on water system plan. (See Attachment B) Water Source Alternatives.` If new water sources are being proposed,` describe alternative sources that were considered and any possibilities of joint efforts with neighboring communities for development of supplies The conjunctive use of surface and groundwater is not feasible for Lino Lakes as there are no rivers within the City limits. Standards for using surface water for municipal water supply would require a complex water treatment plant to meet the regulations. There are no alternative sources to ground water available for use by the City. Preventative' Maintenance. Long- term preventative programs and measures will help reduce the risk of emergency situations. Identify sections of the system that are prone to failure due to age, materials or other problems. This information should be used to prioritize capital improvements, preventative maintenance, and to determine the types of materials (pipes, valves, couplings, etc.) to have in stock to reduce repair time The City has an annual well inspection on all production wells and provides system maintenance as required to keep system at full operating capacity as required to meet the water demands. 7
