St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />147 <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Purpose <br />This Comprehensive Water Supply Plan is a section of the City’s 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the Comprehensive Water Supply <br />Plan is to provide an overview of the City’s current drinking water <br />resources, infrastructure, policies, and challenges, and to present future <br />plans. A water distribution map is included in Figure 1. <br />This Comprehensive Water Supply Plan has been prepared according to <br />the guidelines established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota <br />Department of Natural Resources (DNR) per Minnesota Statute 473.859 <br />which requires water supply plans be completed by all local units of <br />government in the seven-county Metropolitan Area. The attached Water <br />Supply Plan conforms to the template provided by the DNR, while this <br />Comprehensive Plan satisfies the Metropolitan Council’s requirements. <br />Background <br />The City of St. Anthony, 2.37 square miles in area, is located in Hennepin <br />and Ramsey Counties to the northeast of Minneapolis and is fully <br />developed. The majority of the properties within the City limits are currently <br />serviced by the City’s water utility. <br />This report uses historical population and water use data with population <br />estimates provided in St. Anthony’s Metropolitan Council Environmental <br />Services (MCES) System Statement to assess current water demand and <br />to project water demand through the year 2040. The 2040 service area was <br />defined based on the future Land Use Plan prepared for the City’s 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />
