Centerville Lake Water Quality Project The Rice Creek Watershed District was awarded a $954,500 Clean Water Fund grant for an alum treatment on Centerville Lake. Matt Kocian, Lake and Stream Program Manager, said: “We’re very excited for this project, and confident that it will improve water quality conditions.” If possible, the goal would be to complete the first “dose” of treatment as early as April of 2024, with a second dose programmed for the spring of 2026. The watershed plans to hold some public informational meetings in the coming months as part of a larger public engagement strategy, including social media posts and appearing at city meetings, among other things. Mr. Kocian presented information at the January 24 City Council meeting and answered questions on project logistics. The watershed is seeking partner participation on the cost of the project from the two cities and the county parks department. Centerville’s share is estimated at $35,000. The City Council will consider their support of this cost at their March 27th meeting.

City Engineer Statz plans to attend and give input. We are also tracking a bill at the legislature that aims to make Water Supply a “Regional” issue, giving authority to Met Council to oversee issues related to the topic. Our legislative advocates at Metro Cities and the League of Minnesota Cities are working to oppose this bill and any further regional overreach by Met Council.
