CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />SECTION 2 Page 3 <br />St. Anthony Village is completely within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Sanitary sewer and <br />water service is provided throughout the City. The St. Anthony Village sanitary sewer system <br />consists of approximately 25 miles of sewer mains and three lift stations. The City handles its <br />wastewater on a metropolitan level, sending it to the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant located <br />in St. Paul. The Metropolitan Plant is the largest in the state of Minnesota, serving 1.8 million <br />users with a maximum capacity of 251 million gallons per day. <br />Storm sewers, ditches, curbs, and gutters provide drainage for the City. The individual watershed <br />maps (Figure 4, Appendix A) show the City's stormwater system of pipes, channels, ponds, and <br />other current and planned stormwater management facilities. Future street maintenance and <br />redevelopment will likely dictate the extension or reconstruction of the storm drainage system. <br />2.6.
