.I'" .. October 22, 1990 Worksession Minutes, Page Three . WATER TOWER Engineer Maurer reviewed the water tower study STUDY noting that only two or three issues were significant. He noted that the system is actually in pretty good shape, but that the report ignored the Arsenal property. Maurer noted three areas in the line that are short of pressure. They are Round Lake, the area around Mounds View High School, and part of the Roscville connection on Hamline Avenue. There is 800 feet of 12 inch section in this area. Maurer suggested three ways to fill the water tower to capacity: l. Build a booster station at the Arden HillsjRoseville border. This would be very expensive. 2. Build a booster station at County Road E. Maurer felt this would not accomplish much. 3 . The most reasonable method would be to remodel the existing lift station and expand the building. He proposed one pump, not two, and upgrade the controls at the existing station and replace the pumps. Mayor Sather noted that Maurer should formulate a list of chronological order and come back to Council with this information. Hansen thanked Maurer for the good job he did with . the water tower study. KEITHSON POND Engineer Maurer reviewed the drawing of Keithson Pond. Attorney Filla noted that the pond was reconfigured in October, 1987, and there was no great discussion on an outlet for the pond. Maurer noted the pond is presently not doing the job. The question is what needs to be done to the pond to make it work. Maurer suggested pumping it from time to time, with a long term solution being a positive outlet to the southwest as part of a city drainage plan. Mayor Sather asked what a short-term solution would be. Maurer responded that the pond would need to be shaped and expanded in the easement area and to dig the hole deeper. Attorney Filla stated in order to obtain an easement from George Reiling, the city must: l. Establish that this is a public improvement. 2 . Council must authorize a portion of Reiling's property for condemnation. 3. City must construct the project and outlet. From start to finish, Filla estimated a six month or longer time frame. . .
