2018 Annual Report • Finance Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />2018 WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES <br />Included in the 2018 Street and Utility <br />improvements was a project to capture the <br />Central Park Splash Pad water discharge and <br />use it for Central Park Irrigation. Currently <br />the water reuse system installed along Silver <br />Lake Road uses stormwater, along with back <br />wash water from the water treatment facility <br />to irrigate portions of Central Park. By <br />capturing the Splash Pad discharge the water <br />available for irrigation will be expanded to the <br />entirety of Central Park including District <br />282’s facilities. City Staff worked with School <br />District staff to identify the needed <br />modifications in the District’s current <br />irrigation system to take advantage of this <br />additional reuse capacity. As noted earlier the <br />cost of chemicals and electricity associated <br />with 1,000 gallons of water is $1.41. In 2018 the water used by the Central Park splash had <br />chemical and electrical costs alone of approximately $4,800. The irrigation modifications cost to <br />the school district were less than $9,000. There will be no water charges to the School District for <br />their expanded use of reuse water for irrigation. This partnership effort with the School District <br />has the potential to save up to 3 million gallons of ground water annually! <br />
