City Engineer Mark Erichson provided a summary of the Phase I project that retrofitted the existing irrigation system to irrigate 30 acres using stormwater instead of City potable water. This project was done in partnership with the Rice Creek Watershed District, Metropolitan Council, and the Waters Edge Homeowner Association. The HOA now wanted to expand the project to irrigate another 40 acres, and the RCWD has agreed to provide a grant of $185,760.
