� � SUGGESTED LETTER l�t�i VI'Li.AGE OP ARDEN HILLS Village Council Village of Roseville 2701 North Lexington Avenue St. Paul 13, Minnesota �� � 3 �, b� � � Gentlemen: Recent developments within the Village of Arden Hills have made it appear practical and timely that the Village consider immediately the necessary steps which might lead to •the construction of a partial water system for the easterly portion of the Village. As you are undoubtedly aware, Control Data Corporation is now constructing the first build- ing of their industrial plant. Control DatA must be provided water for fire fighting in the form of overhead storage prior to the opening of their plant which is established as late in 1963. If this is to be municipally supplied water, our council must act with- out delay. Accordingly,the Village of Arden Sills is contemplating theroviderthesenfacilitiesnwhich facilities by the Village rather than having Control Data p probably would not readily integrate into an eventual municipal system. Further�thei�i� wi11 6e other needs for a municipal water system, particularly iror fire protection, by other large users following in the very near future. `.,,.,, For the foregoing reasons, the Village of Arden Hillspin considering sources of water, /+�+? §eae arrived at the conclusion that they have two possibilities with an alternative third available to them. 1he first source, of course, would be to conatiucf Te�eWVillageth A necessary pumping equipment and utilize these for a source of �ugp Y second possibiiity is that the Village of &oseville would provide water to Arden Hills from the City of St. Paul. Our engineers, Banister Bngineering Company, adviae that this has been considered in the past by Roseville in planning its system. We further recognize that in negotiations with the City of St. Paul in 1962, that the needs of a portion of Arden Hills were considered in the preparation and ultimate conclusion in the matter of a contract between Roseville and St. Paul. A third alternative possibility would be for the Village of Arden Hills to construct deep wells for utilization for a short period, followed hy an ultimate connection with the Village of Roseville, with the deep wells to then be abandoned. Taking in account the above matters and the urgency of taking steps to provide water to Control Data, if the Village is to do so, we are desirous that the following questions he answered at the earliest possible date by your Council so that we may reach a desision as to which procedure we might follow. 1 2. � The date at which water would be available to Arden Hills at approximately the intersection of Glen Hill Road (County Road D) and Hamline Avenue. The cost to Arden Hills for the enlargement of Roseville mains necessary to convey water to the above point and the basis upan which such costs would Ue calculated. The location of these mains is also of interest. -1-
