City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />13-3 <br />The City operates and maintains approximately 44 miles of mainline, two water <br />towers, one booster station (water pumping facilities) and has three emergency <br />cross connections with adjacent communities (Table 10.1). These <br />interconnections are normally closed, but can be opened to meet emergency <br />needs. <br />Table 13.1 - Intercommunity Water Connections <br /> <br /> <br />13.1.2 Sanitary Sewer (Appendix E) <br /> <br />The entire City of Arden Hills is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area <br />(MUSA), therefore sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the <br />City via the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) system. <br />Within the City, the system is under the jurisdiction of the City’s sanitary sewer <br />utility. Historically, the sanitary sewer utility has managed to be self-supporting; <br />with future infrastructure replacement needs financed from revenues generated <br />from the fees paid by users. <br /> <br />The Arden Hills sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 42 miles of <br />sanitary sewer, over 1,050 manholes, and fourteen (14) lift stations. The sanitary <br />sewer information is included in Appendix E. <br /> <br />13.1.3 Stormwater/Surface Water Management <br /> <br />With nearly 550 acres of water across seven lakes, numerous wetlands, and <br />Rice Creek, protecting water quality and managing stormwater is of the utmost <br />importance in Arden Hills. As part of the City’s water quality goals, the City <br />recognizes the need to establish a plan that is in conformance with the plans and <br />regulations adopted by the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Metropolitan <br />Council’s Water Resource Management Plan. <br /> <br />As part of the TCAAP redevelopment process, an AUAR was completed that <br />included an analysis of stormwater mitigation needs. According to the AUAR, <br />stormwater will be managed on-site, maintaining the current drainage patterns <br />and utilizing the current outfalls to Rice Creek and Round Lake. Stormwater will <br />be conveyed to Round Lake and Rice Creek by means of underground storm <br />sewer, ponds, vegetated swales, and wetlands. Conveyance systems will be <br />designed in accordance with acceptable industry standards and in conformance <br />City Size Location <br />Shoreview 8" North of Grey Fox Road on Lexington Avenue <br />Shoreview 8" North of Cummings Park Drive on Lexington <br />Avenue <br />New Brighton 8" East of Cleveland Avenue on Stowe Avenue
