2019 Annual Report • Public Works Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />CENTRAL PARK SPLASH PAD WATER REUSE PROJECT <br />As part of the 2018 Street and Utility Improvement Project the installation of a force main and <br />lift station near the Central Park splash pad was installed. In 2017, Public Works staff <br />completed retrofits to the splash pad equipment and established new hours of operations to <br />reduce the amount of potable water used for the splash pad. The force main and lift station <br />went on line in the summer of 2019. <br />With the addition of the force main and lift station, the water used for the splash pad is <br />collected and routed to the existing water reuse facility which currently collects and reuses <br />stormwater runoff for irrigation at Central Park. The addition of the runoff from the splash pad <br />has eliminated the need for potable water use for irrigation as splash pad use increases with hot, <br />dry weather. In addition to providing water for irrigation in Central Park, the school district <br />modified their irrigation system to utilize reuse water for their irrigation needs, resulting in all <br />25 acres at Central Park being irrigated with reuse water. <br /> <br />
