2018 Annual Report • Public Works Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />CENTRAL PARK SPLASH PAD WATER REUSE PROJECT <br />As part of the 2018 Street and Utility Improvement <br />Project the installation of a force main and lift station <br />near the Central Park splash pad was installed. In <br />2017, Public Works staff completed retrofits to the <br />splash pad equipment and established new hours of <br />operations to reduce the amount of potable water used <br />for the splash pad. Currently, water used at the splash <br />pad discharges to the existing storm sewer system <br />which conveys runoff to Mirror Lake. <br /> <br />With the addition of the force main and lift station, the <br />water used for the splash pad will be collected and <br />routed to the existing water reuse facility which <br />currently collects and reuses stormwater runoff for <br />irrigation at Central Park. The addition of the runoff <br />from the splash pad is expected to reduce and <br />potentially eliminate the need for potable water use for irrigation as splash pad use increases <br />with hot, dry weather. The city is working with the school district to address their irrigation <br />needs so that all 25 acres at Central Park can be irrigated with reuse water. <br /> <br />
