Building Requirements
At the time of building permit, the single family houses proposed on Lots 1 and 3 will be
reviewed for compliance regarding impervious surface, building footprint area, garage size, and
design and construction standards.
Subdivision Ordinance
The legal description of the parcel is Lot 2, Block 1, Mar Don Acres and was platted in 1978.
Similar residential subdivisions of Mar Don Acres lots have been approved in previous years
(Cavegn Estates-2006, Hailey Manor-2007, Isabell Estates-2014 and Golden Acre-2017).

Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density residential
development and zoning code requirements for R-1, Single Family Residential as discussed
above.
Blocks and Lots
The preliminary plat contains Lots 1-3, Block 1, Jansen Addition. As noted above, Lot 2 contains
the existing house and Lots 1 and 3 propose new single family homes.
Streets and Alleys
Lots 1 and 2 are served by Lois Lane which is a minor collector road. The existing road right-of-
way width is 60 ft which is consistent with previously approved plats in the area. No additional
road right-of-way is needed.
Lot 3 is served by Arlo Lane which is a minor collector road. The existing road right-of-way
width is 60 ft which is consistent with previously approved plats in the area. No additional road
right-of-way is needed.
Staff evaluated the need to extend the 30ft wide road right-of-way along the entire north lot
line to potentially serve 511 Lois Lane and determined it wasn’t feasible. An additional 30ft of
road right-of-way would be needed from 7901 Henry Lane and a public street and utilities
would need to be constructed to serve the potential one (1) or two (2) additional lots that could
be created at 511 Lois Lane.
Easements
The Mar Don Acres final plat has existing drainage and utility easements dedicated per the plat.
These easements will remain in place.
Standard drainage and utility easements at least ten (10) feet wide have been provided along
all other lot lines. An oversized drainage and utility easement exists on Lot 3 in the rear yard
over the stormwater management facility.
Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control
Per the December 18, 2023 RCWD CAPROC, the project includes subdivision of an area
exceeding one acre, thus triggering Rule C. The single-family residential subdivision does not
create a new public road nor a private road serving three or more lots; therefore, Rules C.6 and
C.7 do not apply per Rule C.12(d). An infiltration basin is proposed to meet City requirements.
The applicant submitted a stormwater drainage report with the application. The proposed BMP
8
6
and associated stormwater modeling is not required by the District due to the Rule C.12(d)
exception and has not been reviewed as part of this application.
Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
A 2” pressurized sanitary sewer main exists along this section of Lois Lane and laterals are
stubbed to the lot line on both Lots 1 and 2. The existing house is on private septic system and
shall connect to municipal sanitary sewer. The private septic system shall be removed. The new
house proposed on Lot 1 will also be connected to municipal sanitary sewer.
An 8” sanity sewer main exists along Arlo Lane and two (2) sets of laterals are stubbed to the lot
line on Lot 3. The new house will be connected to municipal sanitary sewer. The other lateral
shall be removed.
Watermain
An 8” watermain exists along Lois Lane and laterals are stubbed to the lot line on both Lots 1
and 2. The existing house is currently on a private well and shall connect to the municipal
watermain. The private well shall be disconnected from the house. It may be used for irrigation
or it shall be abandoned. The new house proposed on Lot 1 will also be connected to the
municipal watermain.
An 8” watermain exists along Arlo Lane and two (2) sets of laterals are stubbed to the lot line
on Lot 3. The new house will be connected to the municipal watermain. The other lateral shall
be removed.
Public Land Dedication
The proposed subdivision is within the Highland Meadow Park neighborhood service area. The
development is not within the greenway system. Arlo Lane is identified as a future trail corridor
that is proposed to extend from Highland Meadows Park to Woodduck Trail and eventually to
4th Avenue.
The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for the two (2) new lots. Lot 2 with the
existing house will not be charged a park dedication fee.
Park Dedication Fees
Total # of Lots = 2
x 2024 Park Dedication Fee $3,300
= Total Due $6,600

Landscape Plan
Per the December 27, 2023 Environmental Board staff report:
Boulevard Trees
Boulevard trees are required for all new residential subdivisions at a rate of one tree per lot
frontage.
The existing house has trees in the right-of-way area and will not require an additional
boulevard tree.
Boulevard trees are shown on the landscape plan for lots 1 and 3. The tree on Lot 1 must be
moved into the right-of-way area.
Boulevard tree requirements are not currently met.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards
The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while not
interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and development of property. The goal is to
minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed
trees in areas where tree cover is most critical.
A tree survey was performed that identified:
Of the 49 total trees in the inventory, 24 trees will be removed, 25 will be preserved.
The 25 trees planned for preservation must have Tree Protection Zones installed in accordance
with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail.
23 of the tree removals are in the Basic Use Area (BUA). 8 of these are in Environmentally
Sensitive Area (ESA) and will require mitigation at a rate of one tree planted for four removed.
15 of the 23 trees in the BUA are in non-ESA and will not require mitigation.
One tree planned for removal is in non-BUA and non-ESA. This tree will require mitigation at a
one to one ratio.
Total Trees 49
Total Trees Removed 24
Total Trees Preserved 25
Mitigation Trees Required 3

Overall, for the 24 removals, 3 mitigation trees will be required. These trees must be added to
the Landscape Plan.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have not been met.
Open Areas Landscape Standards
Open areas standards do not apply to single family residential lots.
Buffer and Screen Standards
The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use types, screen roads
and parking, and screen utility and loading areas. The project property and surrounding
properties are zoned R1, so buffer and screen standards do not apply.
Canopy Cover
Canopy cover standards do not apply to single family residential development.
Foundation Landscaping
Foundation landscaping standards do not apply to single family residential development.
Sod and Ground Cover Standards
All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a
minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be
provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or
wetlands.
Mn DOT seed mix (33-261) is noted in the details for the stormwater basin. The ground cover
types must be added to the Landscape Plan.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The three (3) unattached
residential units are under the 250 unattached unit threshold required for a mandatory EAW.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands on site.
FEMA Floodplain
11
9
There is no FEMA floodplain on site.
Shoreland Management Overlay
The parcel is not located within a Shoreland Management Overly district.
Impervious Surface Coverage
The maximum allowed impervious surface coverage per lot is 65%. Lot 2 (existing house) is at
21.3% and compliant. The impervious coverage for Lot 1 and 3 will be evaluated with those
individual building permits and surveys.
Traffic Study
A traffic study was not required for one (1) new single family lot on Lois Lane and one (1) single
family lot on Arlo Lane. Both streets are minor collectors and have capacity for one (1)
additional single family home on each street.

To: Katie Larsen, Lino Lakes City Planner From: Kris Keller PE, WSB Diane Hankee PE, Lino Lakes City Engineer Date: January 4, 2024 Re: Jansen Addition Preliminary Plat & Civil Plan Review 024233-000
As requested by City staff, WSB reviewed the Preliminary Plat and Civil Plans for the Jansen
Addition in Lino Lakes, MN, prepared by Plowe Engineering and received December 7, 2023. Our comments were made on the following documents:
• Jansen Addition – Civil Plans prepared by Plowe Engineering, dated December 7, 2023.
• Jansen Addition – Site Drainage Narrative and Calculations prepared by Plowe Engineering, received December 7, 2023.
• Jansen Addition – Certificate of Survey prepared by EG Rud & Sons, dated December 7, 2023.
• Jansen Addition – Preliminary Plat prepared by EG Rud & Sons, dated December 7, 2023. The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. There are additional redline comments on the plan set that should be responded to as well. Not all redline comments are in the review memo. Engineering
• Grading
The Jansen Addition grading consists of grading the original single-family lot to create
three (3) single-family lots and an infiltration basin. The infiltration basin treats the rear
drainage from the three lots while the remaining drainage flows to Lois Lane to the south.
Comments: 1. Call out the proposed high point on the east side of Lot 1
• Adjust proposed contours to maintain minimum 2% slope where
possible
2. There is an existing low area at the southeast front corner of Lot 1
• Consider coordinating with the adjacent existing property owner to fill in
the low area and prevent it from backing up to the east.
• Adjust grading along the eastern side lot line of Lot 1 to allow for drainage to reach the street.

Jansen Addition Engineering Review
3. Shift the northern limit and overflow weir of the infiltration basin to the south
10' to allow for overflow drainage to be established on this property prior to
discharging to the north
• Stormwater Management
Stormwater management for the site consists of a proposed infiltration basin. However, based on site layout, stormwater management is not required under City ordinance. Comments on the proposed stormwater design are offered below.
Pre- and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs)
Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt
Existing 0.61 2.01 6.17 Not required
Proposed 0.51 1.00 4.46 Not required
Comments: 1. To be conservative in HWL modeling, exfiltration cannot be modeled as an outflow. Please remove exfiltration on node P1 of the proposed conditions HydroCAD model and update the 100-yr HWL accordingly. 2. Permanent turf reinforcement matting such as Armormax is not allowed as a form of stabilization for BMP overflows. Riprap can be extended to cover the overflow weir. 3. While noted in the infiltration basin detail, please show silt fence around the basin on the erosion control plan sheets to ensure proper sediment control is provided.
• Water Supply
The proposed water will be supplied by three existing 1-inch Type K copper services extended to the lots. Comments:
1. An additional water and sanitary sewer service stubbed from Arlo Lane will
need to be removed back to the main. Restoration to include;
• Roadway section shall be 3.5” bit over 8” class 5
• Curb and gutter - see City standard details.
2. Show connecting the existing house (Lot 2) to the provided sanitary sewer
and water service stubs with construction
• Water service stub is 1" copper (Type K)
3. Abandon/seal the existing well for Lot 1 per MDH requirements with construction
• Note the existing well may be left in place for non-potable irrigation use if MDH setbacks can be met from the proposed utility services (currently they do not appear to meet setback requirements).
17
Ms. Katie Larsen 01/04/2024 Page 3
Jansen Addition Engineering Review
• Sanitary Sewer
The proposed sanitary sewer will be supplied by an existing 4-inch diameter Schedule 40
PVC gravity service pipe (Lot 3) and two 1¼” diameter Schedule 40 PVC low pressure
service pipes (Lots 1 & 2) extended to the lots from Arlo Lane and Lois Lane. Lots 1 & 2
will require E-One or approved equal grinder pump stations to connect to the City system.
Comments:
1. Show septic system for existing house (Lot 2)
• Remove existing septic system per Anoka County requirements with
construction
2. Show connecting the existing house (Lot 2) to the provided sanitary sewer
and water service stubs with construction
• Sanitary sewer service stub is 1 1/4" PVC SCH 40
• Show installation of E-One or equivalent grinder pump station 3. Show existing sanitary sewer stubs to Lots 1 & 2 as 1¼” diameter Schedule 40 PVC 4. Provide a casting for the cleanout (if necessary) in the driveway
• Transportation
There is minimal impact to traffic or roads as this development simply splits the existing single-family lot into three smaller single family lots which will not generate significantly more traffic. • Trails and sidewalks
There are no existing trails or sidewalks adjacent to the proposed development with none being proposed
• Wetlands and Mitigation Plan
There are no wetlands identified on the site
• Landscaping
The Jansen Addition Site Landscape Plan has been reviewed by staff and the City’s Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments.
• Floodplain
The Jansen Addition does not impact floodplain.
• Drainage and Utility Easements The current drainage and utility easements are being maintained from the original single-family lot (10’ front and 30’ back; 5’ sides). Additional easements have been added around the perimeter of the smaller lots and the infiltration basin (minimum 10’ front and back; 5’ sides).

Re: Environmental Comments/12-27-23/Jansen Addition Preliminary Plat
Environmental Board had the following comments at the 12/27/23 EB meeting:
1. Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) for the 25 trees scheduled for preservation must be shown to scale on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C1.1
and C1.2), and the Landscape Plan (Sheet L1). The TPZs must be in place prior
to issuance of grading permit and will be reviewed by staff concurrently with inspection of sediment and erosion control measures. 2. Replace note on Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan about installing
“Perimeter Control Devices” for tree protection with “Tree Protection Fence
installed in accordance with City Tree Protection Fence Detail”. 3. The Landscape Plan (Sheet L1) note #3 mentions protecting trees to the dripline. This statement must mention protecting trees in accordance with City Tree
Protection Fence Detail provided on Sheet C3.2. 4. The tree planting detail shall include comments about exposing root flare so it is visibly at grade to ensure trees are installed at proper depth, and that mulch is pulled back 3 inches from the trunk (mulch is not left touching the trunk).
5. 3 mitigation trees are required. These trees must be added to the Landscape Plan (Sheet L1). 6. The boulevard tree shown for Lot 1 must be moved south into the right-of-way.

proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C;
3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a
proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D;
4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access
to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must

must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must
determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total
traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options,
including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties
that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and

CITY COUNCIL
WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 3
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator
WORK SESSION DATE: February 5, 2024
TOPIC: City Council Code of Conduct and Meeting Rules of Decorum
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
In 2003, the City Council adopted Ethical Rules and Guidelines for the Council to adhere to; in
2006, these guidelines were modified into the Council Code of Conduct. Since that time, there
have been various iterations of the Code of Conduct that have been adopted by Council, the most
recent in 2018, attached hereto for reference.
Staff has drafted a proposed revision and update to the Code of Conduct for Council’s
consideration; a redlined draft is attached for review. This is a working draft and comments,
feedback, suggestions, and input from Council are welcomed.
Furthermore, staff is also proposing that Council consider for adoption Rules of Decorum for City
Council meetings. While public comment is not required at any public meeting under the
Minnesota Open Meeting Law statutes, the City Charter does require that Council consider public
comment at any public meeting (see Charter, Section 3.01) but that Council may place reasonable
restrictions upon comments and questions. The proposed Rules of Decorum would accomplish
the objective laid out in the Charter by providing guidelines for resident participation during
meetings and work sessions. Guidance would also be provided for Council to enforce the rules,
resulting in more orderly and organized public meetings.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Presented for Council discussion and feedback. The current Code of Conduct requires that
following each municipal election, the new Council shall ratify the Code of Conduct by resolution.
Staff will bring forward a formal resolution at the February 12, 2024 meeting following direction
from Council.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 4
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Hannah Lynch, Finance Director
WORK SESSION DATE: February 5, 2024
TOPIC: ERP Software
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
New Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is in the 2024-2028 Financial Plan as a 2026
project. With many governmental software providers 18 months out on conversions, staff
would like to begin researching and setting up demonstrations with potential new software
providers.
The City currently has Springbrook software. Conversion from Tyler Technologies Pace software
occurred in 2015 due to Pace utilizing old technology and no longer being updated by Tyler
Technologies. Pace was the City’s software for roughly 17 years. Springbrook is nearing 10 years
since conversion and it is best practice to evaluate software every 10 to 15 years.
Since the conversion to Springbrook, the City’s internal operations have continued to grow and
evolve. In that time, more cloud-based, all-encompassing, ERP software is available. Staff would
like to explore new software to integrate information, automate processes, and utilize modern
features. Specific processes and features sought after include:
• Modern Financial Management solution
o Intuitive interface and functionally
o Robust reporting tools
o Budget creation and production of budget documents
o Project and grant accounting
o Comprehensive bank reconciliation feature
o Accounts payable workflow
o Capital asset invoice flagging and construction project tracking
o Special assessment database
• Reconfigured Utility Billing solution
o Clean-up class and rate setups
• Integrated Human Resource Management solution
o Streamline employee information, payroll, promotions, and compensation
changes
45
2
o Manage job postings and applications
o Administer benefits open enrollment
o Robust electronic timesheets with a full electronic workflow
• Integrated Community Development solution
o Building, Permits, and Inspections
o Planning, Zoning, and Engineering
o Code Enforcement
o Business Licensing
Staff recognizes no software is perfect nor will perform to all of our expectations, but we
believe a large improvement can be realized. In addition, an all-encompassing ERP software
could eliminate the following additional software/services currently used alongside
Springbrook:
• PermitWorks and PSN Payment Processing
• Ease Benefits Administration
• Microsoft Access Special Assessment Database
• Excel spreadsheets maintained to supplement current software or lack of software
If a conversion is anticipated for 2026, a contract with a new provider needs to be signed by the
end of 2024, anticipating an 18 month waiting period. Funding proposed in the 2024-2028
Financial Plan for a one-time conversion fee is as follows:
• $100,000 General Fund Reserves
• $150,000 Closed Bond Fund Reserves
The City currently pays Springbrook an annual maintenance fee of $35,618. With a new
provider, that annual maintenance fee will likely increase and need to be accounted for as part
of the annual budgeting process.

PROJECT NAME: ERP Software
Project Year: 2026
Department: Administration/Finance
Program: Citywide
Project Type: Office Equipment and Furniture
Useful Life (Years): 10
Contact Person: Finance Director
Project Description:
Explore alternatives to the City's current Enterprise Resource System (ERP) System, Springbrook.
Project Justification:
Springbrook was implemented in 2015 and is used for all finance processing (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
Fixed Assets, General Ledger, Payroll, and Utility Billing). Best practices cannot always be implemented due to software
limitations. Springbrook also does not meet the City's needs to be an all-encompassing ERP software as it does not
provide modules to serve Human Resources or Community Development/Building Inspections. The Human Resources
module within Springbrook was explored, although it did not provide useful work flows or the appropriate interaction with
payroll. Additional sought after HR software capabilities include open enrollment, pay adjustments, and applicant
screening. Community Development/Building Inspections currently uses a Microsoft Access software, PermitWorks, for
inspections, code enforcement, business licensing, and planning. Financial transactions from PermitWorks are imported

ITEM NO. 5
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: February 5, 2024
TOPIC: Water Treatment Plant Capacity Analysis
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The City authorized the preparation of plans and specification for the Water Treatment Plant in
August of 2022. The plant uses a gravity filtration process that is capable of operating either
conventionally or biologically. Biological filters, where a microbial population is promoted in
the filters to perform iron, manganese, and ammonia removal, can often be operated at higher
loading rate, thereby increasing the WTP capacity. This increase is only feasible under
biological filtration.
The plant is being designed to conventionally treat a volume of 6,000 gallons per minute (gpm)
based on our 2040 forecasted demand. The City’s Comprehensive Water Plan anticipates an
ultimate treatment need of 10,000 gpm. This additional treatment is planned to be provided by
a 2nd WTP and well field in the north side of Lino Lakes.
To minimize long term infrastructure costs staff requested WSB to complete a capacity analysis
to determine what would be needed to maximize potential for biological treatment at the
proposed plant. Based on the review the biological WTP capacity could potentially increase
from 6,000 to 10,000 gpm with no change to filters. However, this would require oversizing of
other components of the plant and distribution system to accommodate the higher flow rate.
While the projected post 2040 demand is well into the future, it is a sizable increase, and likely
to change, oversizing of certain components within the plant would add future flexibility and
redundancy to the plant’s operations. Elimination of a future water treatment plant would
result in substantial savings in future infrastructure costs. A high level estimate provided by
WSB identified a potential cost savings of $25 million.
After additional discussion with WSB, staff is recommending the addition of a fourth high
service pump, expanded aerators and larger electrical service at the time of construction. This
would improve operation and maintenance of the plant initially while providing future capacity.

These improvements can be incorporated at an estimated cost of $500,000 to $750,000 as part
of the initial design. Upsizing of trunk water main necessary to meet the increased flows would
happen in the future with planned capital improvements.
To accommodate the changes WSB is estimating a design fee change of approximately $19,560
and an additional 4 - 6 weeks of design time. The project would still be on schedule for a
bidding this spring.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is requesting City Council direction on whether to incorporate increased capacity in the
WTP.

Re: Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
City of Lino Lakes, MN
WSB Project No. 021336-000
WSB is designing a gravity filtration water treatment plant (WTP) for the City of Lino Lakes that
will be capable of operating either conventionally or biologically. Biological filters, where a
microbial population is promoted in the filters to perform iron, manganese, and ammonia removal,
can often be operated at a higher loading rate – thereby increasing the WTP capacity. Note that
this capacity increase is only feasible under biological filtration, not conventional filtration.
In this case, the biological WTP capacity could potentially increase from 6,000 gallons per minute
(gpm) to 10,000 gpm with no changes to the filters. However, oversizing of other components of
the WTP and the water distribution system would be needed to accommodate the higher flow
rate. This technical memorandum summarizes those impacts, to inform a decision on whether or
not to proceed with the changes.
For context, the water demands and capacities considered in this memo are far in the future. The
City’s existing maximum day demand is about 3,150 gpm (based on a 20-hour supply window
instead of 24-hour to be conservative). The City’s projected 2040 max day demand is about 6,000
gpm, and the ultimate max day demand is about 10,000 gpm. Therefore, the capacities
contemplated in this memo are looking ahead to roughly a doubling and tripling of existing water
demands, and the City’s Comprehensive Water Supply Plan will be revisited multiple times before
these demands are realized.
The baseline WTP sizing and potential WTP upsizing are summarized in Table 1 for comparison.
The oversized components were limited to those considered absolutely necessary, and to allow
for the modular addition of equipment wherever possible.
Table 1 – WTP Sizing Comparison

K:\021336-000\Admin\Docs\Design Memos\MEMO Lino Lakes WTP Capacity Sensitivity Analysis.docx
As shown in Table 1, two additional aerators and one additional high service pump would need to
be added in the future to increase the WTP capacity from 6,000 gpm to 10,000 gpm. With some
adjustment, space can be reserved in the WTP for this equipment. Provisions would need to be
made to position a crane to lift the additional aerators into place through a removable wall or roof
at the southwest corner of the building.
The filters, detention tank, clearwell, and backwash tank volumes would remain unchanged with
the increase in capacity. This will result in a decrease of detention time in the detention tank and
residence time in the clearwell when operating at 10,000 gpm, but the resulting times are
acceptable for biological filtration. The filter backwash sequence and backwash waste volumes
will remain the same, so the backwash tank volume does not need to change.
The increased capacity would also require improvements to the water distribution system as
summarized in Table 2, to transmit the higher flow rate from the central WTP out to the
northwestern and eastern parts of the system (and to Tower No. 1 in particular). These
improvements were determined using an extended period simulation (EPS) in the City’s water
model during maximum day demand, and they are the minimum needed to maintain tower levels
and AWWA-recommended hydraulic conditions in the distribution system.

Planned Black Duck 12” Trunk WM Black Duck 12” Trunk WM
Additional -
Lake Drive 12” Trunk WM Connections
Hodson Road Parallel 16” Trunk WM
North 16” Trunk WM Loop
As shown in Table 2, the higher flow rate would require more trunk watermain improvements than
previously planned to convey flow from the central WTP location outward to the rest of the
system. Although the North 16” Trunk WM Loop would be challenging to construct through the
wetlands and highway corridor in the northern part of the City, it would provide benefits of looping
and redundancy in addition to the transmission needed under the 10,000 gpm scenario.
Long-term (post-2040), the alternative to the biological 10,000 gpm WTP capacity would be to
construct about four new wells and a second WTP in the northern portion of the system. This
would eliminate the need for the additional trunk watermain improvements since the water supply
would be decentralized or dispersed with a supply point in the north. However, the wells and WTP
would also be costly. The order of magnitude cost difference between these two scenarios is
summarized in Table 3.
Table 3 – Order of Magnitude Cost Comparison
Description 6,000 gpm WTP and Future
Well Field and WTP Biological 10,000 gpm WTP
Additional Facilities 4 Wells and 1 WTP Trunk Watermain Improvements
(see Table 2)
Order of Magnitude Cost $40 million $15 million
Table 3 suggests that the additional trunk watermain improvements are more cost-effective than
the new well field and WTP. Therefore, we recommend proceeding with the adjustments to the
WTP design to allow for the higher biological capacity and the addition of the two aerators and
one HSP in the future. Given the long-term nature of these projections, there will be ample
opportunity to further study and evaluate the City’s water supply system.
