Barry Peters and Will Liebenow. from SEH. were present. Lund explained how the Roseville/Arden Hills water system functions. and reviewed the demands which are placed on the system based on residential. commercial. and industrial use. fire protection and times of the day. as well as weather conditions. He reviewed the hydraulic pressure grade line and how it relates to changes in pressure, and the operation of the pump stations. Lund advised Council that the new' elevated water tank in Arden Hills was constructed at the same height as the Roseville tank. He explained that with the use of an altitude valve. which closes when the Roseville tank reaches a certain level. Arden Hills water tank would fill to capacity. Lund also advised that the water level sensing instruments have not been installed in the new water tank. therefore. it has not yet been determined how the tank operates. Lund stated that if Arden Hills determines that the new water tower should be at full capacity at all times. an altitude valve would have to be installed and the controls for the Roseville pumps should be installed in the new Arden Hills tank. .
