Consideration of Resolution No. 07 -18, Authorizing
Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study
Simple Majority
Lino Lakes water supply is provided by the Jordan sandstone aquifer. This source is
considered abundant and meets all health requirements. The City does not treat its
water for iron and /or manganese removal, softening, or any other conventional
treatment processes. The City does provide chemical additions including disinfection
and fluoridation at the wellhead.
While iron and manganese do not pose a health problem at the levels found in Lino
Lakes' groundwater, they tend to present problems with appearance, taste, and odor as
well as problems with staining and other utility concerns. The current level of water
quality complaints is not sufficient to warrant treatment at this time. However, due to the
complexities of a water treatment facility and efficient integration of a facility into the
City's system of pipes, wells and storage, advanced planning is necessary.
TKDA Inc., has submitted a proposal to complete the feasibility study for a not to
exceed cost of $35,100. TKDA has been involved in numerous water treatment plant
projects including the northeast metro cities of Forest Lake, Oakdale and Coon Rapids
The feasibility study will address treatment options, site selection, storage alternatives,
raw watermain, and financing /funding alternative for a facility. The study will be funded
from the Trunk Utility Fund.
