2008 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chapter 5: Public Facilities <br /> <br />5-7 <br />Public Utilities <br /> <br />Water Supply <br />The City’s water system includes one 500,000 gallon elevated storage tank, a two million gallon <br />reservoir, and four wells. Mounds View pumps an average of 1.5 million gallons of water per day. <br />The water system has adequate capacity to handle the needs of the city into the foreseeable future. <br />Figure 11 on page 5-12 shows the water system. <br /> <br />To fulfill the Metropolitan Council’s requirements for water supply planning, the City has completed <br />the DNR’s Water Emergency and Conservation Plan, which is provided in Appendix E on page E-1. <br /> <br /> <br />Sanitary Sewer <br />Mounds View has based its forecasts for sewered population, household, employment, and <br />wastewater flows on those provided in the Metropolitan Council’s System Statement for the City. <br />These numbers are provided below in Table 17. Because Mounds View is fully developed, the City <br />is not anticipating any increase in sanitary sewer flows within this planning period. <br /> <br />Table 17: Community Forecasts <br />Year 2010 2020 2030 <br />Sewered Population 12,900 13,000 13,400 <br />Sewered Households 5,350 5,600 6,000 <br />Sewered Employment 7,400 8,900 9,400 <br />Average Annual Wastewater <br />Flow (MGD) <br />1.46 1.47 1.47 <br />Allowable Peak Hourly Flow <br />(MGD) <br />4.26 4.26 4.26 <br />Source: Metropolitan Council System Statement (2005) <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council interceptor 4-NS-523 serves Mounds View. This interceptor currently has an <br />available capacity of 2 mgd (million gallons per day) to provide for the long term needs of the City. <br />The Metropolitan Council has a proposed interceptor improvement project to rehabilitate lift station <br />L35 and replace the existing forcemains with two new ones. They are scheduling this project for <br />design and construction between 2011 and 2020. This project would help support the long-term <br />sanitary sewer needs of Mounds View. <br /> <br />The Mounds View sanitary sewer system consists of municipal sewer mains, force mains and two <br />lift stations. According to Metropolitan Council estimates, average annual sewer flows will rise <br />slightly from 1.46 mgd in 2010 to 1.47 mgd in 2030. The system has adequate capacity to handle <br />existing and potential future development. Figure 10 on page 5-11 shows the sanitary sewer system.
