City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />13-2 <br />13.1.1 Water Supply (Appendix D) <br /> <br />The Water Supply Plan provides the City of Arden Hills and its residents with <br />assurance that an adequate supply of safe water is available for use, guidance <br />and procedures for water system emergencies are in place, and measures are <br />being implemented to conserve the City’s water supply. The Water Supply Plan <br />is divided into four parts (Appendix D): <br /> Part I: Water Supply System Description and Evaluation <br /> Part II: Emergency Preparedness Procedures <br /> Part III: Water Conservation Plan <br /> Part IV: Items for Metropolitan Area Communities <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills purchases potable water from the City of Roseville, who <br />purchases water from the Saint Paul Regional Water Services. Saint Paul <br />Regional Water Services provides the required treatment processes before the <br />water is introduced into the water distribution system in Arden Hills; no further <br />treatment is required by the City of Arden Hills. Once in the City, the system is <br />under the jurisdiction of the City’s water utility. <br /> <br />The City has three connection points with the City of Roseville: <br />1. Cleveland Avenue and County Road D, <br />2. Fairview Avenue and County Road D, and <br />3. Glenhill Road and Hamline Avenue. <br /> <br />Historically, the water utility has managed to be self-supporting, with future <br />replacement needs financed from revenues generated from the fees paid by <br />users. The City periodically reviews the arrangement with the City of Roseville <br />and the Saint Paul Regional Water Services to ensure that the City is obtaining <br />the most cost-effective services. <br /> <br />The City operates and maintains approximately 55 miles of mainline, two water <br />towers, one booster station (water pumping facility) and three emergency cross <br />connections with adjacent communities (Table 13.1). These interconnections <br />are normally closed, but can be opened to meet emergency needs. <br />Table 13.1 - Intercommunity Water Connections <br /> <br /> <br /> <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 Draft 03/07/2018
