The Source of Water Supply <br /> All three wells in St. Anthony get their water come from the Jordan Sandstone but Well #3 is <br /> also in the Prairie Duschain, Shakopee. Each well is capable of pumping 1200 gallons per <br /> minute. All three wells are capable of pumping 3600 gallons per minute, 216,000 gallons per <br /> hour, 5,184,000 gallons a day, 1,866,240,000 gallons per year. <br /> The City does not need to replace nor do we have plans to increase the number of wells. We <br /> can not perdict what could happen to the aquafur or one of the wells. <br /> The supply and demand study was done in the late 1980's and it was determined that the City <br /> of St. Anthony needed all three wells to insure that peak demand is met. <br /> If the water system did not change in the make up of the water supply our treatment facilities <br /> would not change but this is only determined by what is detected in the water supply. <br /> The City of St. Anthony also has an inter-connection of water lines between Roseville and St. <br /> Anthony. This is located on 29th Avenue NE and County Road 88. This water line could serve <br /> about one half of the City in case of an emergency. <br /> The City has an emergency plan for the public water supply. <br />
