The City will work to implement a new water storage facility to serve the growing water system demands in the low pressure zone (Village Area south of the UPRR and southeastern parts of the City) and to replace the aging Water Tower No.1. 3. The City will review and update its Comprehensive Water System plan based on the Land Use adopted by this Plan to ensure system capacity is available for each service area, including an updated Water System Capital Improvement Plan. 4. The City will continue to work with the MDH to monitor the groundwater contamination plumes and contamination impacts to Lake Elmo properties and will develop a mitigation plan for extending the City's water supply to replace private wells whenever feasible. The City will work to identify appropriate funding resources, including the recent 3M Settlement Fund and Closed Landfill Fund, to implement City water supply extensions to replace private wells, and to address short and long-term public water supply system improvements. 6. Continue to monitor the potential future use of Well No. 3 and Well No. 1 by 10-15 providing water treatment, but plan for the abandonment of these wells when they are deemed no longer needed. Abandonment is important to protect against groundwater contamination at the well locations. 7. Negotiate a long-term Agreement with the City of Oakdale for a water system interconnect between the two Cities for standby emergency water supply use. 8. Maintain the City's Water Supply Plan consistent with the MnDNR water supply plan template and continue to provide necessary reporting through the MnDNR Permit and Reporting System (MPARS). Continue to incrementally review the Water Supply Plan to ensure it is consistent with continuing development activities and demands. 9. Implement water conservation measures as identified in the City's Water Supply Plan included as Appendix H of this Plan. IMPLEMENTATION THE CITY OF City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 2040 ��
