The City Council asked us to investigate the possibility of constructing a <br />water tower on Outlot A- determine if the site is feasible (ie: existing main sizes, water pressures, land use, <br />soil conditions, etc) for this use. <br /> <br />We obtained a computer model for the City's water system from HR Green. The model is not up to-date on <br />all the new mains that have been installed recently, but we will be doing this as we proceed on the study. <br />Our initial analysis of the site is that it looks feasible from an engineering standpoint. <br /> <br />From the Comprehensive Water Plan, a 400,000 gallon tank was proposed for behind City Hall. Outlot A <br />can handle this size tank and probably provide adequate fire flows to all parts of the City. This will be <br />positively determined when the new water model is run. A 12-inch main would be necessary along Center <br />Street from Dupre to 20th Avenue to complete a necessary loop for the system. <br /> <br />The high water elevation for the new tank would be set to match Lino Lakes high water elevation. We feel <br />that the City should have a soil boring taken at Outlot A to confirm if pilings would be needed for the tower <br />foundation. If pilings are needed, costs would be considerably higher for the tower construction. <br /> <br />We will have additional information available once the new model is run. <br /> <br />Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc. <br /> <br />st.
