~-~------~------~ The regions major rivers (Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix) used ndwater flow boundaries to determine the regional flow field within aquifers are not within the City. The regional flow field was a critical influence in the delineation of WHPAs in part 1 of this plan. The City wells draw water from the Prairie du Chein and Jordan aquifers. These aquifers exhibit confined hydrologic conditions indicating a natural hydrologic barrier from land surface. Land Use Data Elements Land use within the DWSMAs is determined using the Anoka County Geographic Information System and the Property Tax Records databases. The parcel Property Identification Numbers (PIN) and land use status (agricultural. residential, commercial, industrial, and tax exempt) are cataloged within each DWSMA Tax exempt parcels can include govemment-owned land, parks, public works facilities, public and private schools, and religious institutions. The purpose of reviewing land use is to determine the extent of existing classes of land use and predicting future changes that may require additional city wells or system capacity. Land use changes also affect the presence of potential contaminant sources that may be introduced or removed from the City's DWSMA. Community Setting The City of Centerville was incorporated on August 11, 1857. The name was chosen because of its central location between St. Paul, Stillwater, and Anoka. This was the main rest stop between Stillwater and Anoka in the earliest days of the Minnesota territory. It was originally settled by Messrs. Peltier, laValle. and laMotte, who platted the town in 1854. Hunters and trappers were attracted to the area in the early 1800's because of the abundance of lakes and wildlife. Families from Canada settled in the area because it reminded them of their homeland. Several descendants of the original settlers still fIVe in Centerville. Centerville honors its history and heritage. The City celebrates its rich French-canadian heritage at the annual Fete des Lacs (Festival of Lakes) summer celebration. The settlers cleared the land for agricultural use which became the focus of the area's economy. Businesses that supported agriculture followed. Centerville is a 2.2 square mile City located in the approximate center of the City of Lino Lakes. In the year 2000, Centerville's population was 3,202 representing an increase of 96% from the 1990 census. The City's population is estimated to increase at a rate of approximately 15% during the next three (10 year) census periods (2010. 2020. and 2030). Centerville is a suburban community that aspires to maintain its little town character. Located between the shores of Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake, residents enjoy the rural setting. The caring community that makes up Centerville is evident when people pitch in together to build park equipment, plant flowers at the school or clean up the town on Earth Day.
