ATTACHMENT A Mellopolitan Council Comments on Villagc of Rt- AnflioDy Water Conservation Plan(September- INTRODUCTION The Village of St.Anthony plan was submitted under the 1993 legislation(Chapter 186)requiring Metropolitan Area communities to amend their local comprehensive plans to include a water supply element if the community has a municipal water supply system. The plan submittal was reviewed according to-the "Metropolitan Area Community Water Supply Plan Content Guidelines" adoptBdjoindy by the Metropolitan Council and the M[mnesota Department of Nawral Resources (DNR)in January 1994. 11he Council also reviewed the submittal as a local comprehensive plan amendment, and applied the authorities contained in NEmnesota Statutes, Chapter 473 in so doing. Comments on the required conservation and emergency response plans will be submitted to the DNR for its consideration in review of these plans according to Minnesota Statutes, § 103G.291, subd.3.
