<br />I <br />I. .CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />I MEMORANDUM <br />I DATE: September 19, 1995 <br />I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> FROM=@errance Post, City Accountant <br />I SUBJECT: MuniciDal Water Sourcinl! <br />I At the last regular City Council meeting, Councilmember Aplikowski suggested that a discussion <br /> regarding options of where the City of Arden Hills could obtain its municipal water source be <br /> scheduled for the next work session. <br />I Background <br />I The municipal water source supplier for the City has always been the S1. Paul Water Utility. The <br /> City, in turn, has a supplementary contract for water service with the City of Rose vi lie. This <br /> contract's last five year period from 9/27/92 until 9/27/97 still has to be formally ratified by the <br />~, Arden Hills City Council. The significance of the 9/27/97 date is that it is the termination date of <br /> the underlying thirty-five (35) year contract for water service between the St. Paul Board of <br /> Water Commissioners and the City of Rose vi lie. <br />1 Prior Investigations <br /> In 1993, the Citizen Finance Committee of the City of Arden Hills briefly evaluated the viability <br />I of a city municipal well system and concluded that it would not be financially viable. <br /> TCAAP Supply <br />I The facility has made offers to the City in the past about possibly using their supply of cleaned <br /> potable water. I believe a stumbling block has been a requirement of TCAAP to accept all of the <br /> treated water and not just on an as needed basis. Current City demand needs are approximately <br />I 1,000,000 gallons per day. The treated supply has exceeded this demand requirement. <br /> Issues <br />I As the TCAAP facility d~velops, there may be enough of an increased demand to warrant <br /> utilizing the facility well system water sourcing. <br />I <br />I <br />I- <br />I <br />
