The following comments have been gathered from various departments within <br />the county. The comments are listed by category area. <br /> <br />Water Supply <br /> <br />· In 2007, the Metropolitan Council prepared a legislative report (MS 473.1565) addressing water <br />supply in the metropolitan area. The report includes the statement "municipalities typically make <br />water system investments and conduct resource evaluations on a local level without <br />consideration of regional implications." The first recommendation of the Council report is to <br />amend Minnesota Statutes to require community water supply planning, in the metropolitan area, <br />to be linked with comprehensive planning. <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Council report includes a Water Supply Adequacy Analysis for the City of <br />Centerville indicating: available aquifer yield is high; that there is no major limitations on <br />groundwater withdrawal; the demand projections are medium municipal demand; and the current <br />groundwater resources are adequate for local supply (Appendix F: Water Supply Adequacy <br />Analysis, Water Supply Planning in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Technical Report, <br />January 2007). <br /> <br />Regardless of the proj ections of water resources adequacy - we believe that the city must address <br />this emerging issue by establishing the natural (base level) of available aquifer resources and <br />routine monitoring to determine if municipal, or regional, withdrawal is negatively impacting <br />
