<br />FEASIBILITY STUDY GEMLK 186534 <br />Page 4 <br />3.4 Additional Connection Options\Looping <br />The City’s primary goal in extending the watermain is to provide safe drinking water to residents <br />along the project corridor. However, all proposed extensions would terminate as dead ends, so <br />the City should evaluate opportunities to loop the system. The previous report identified potential <br />connections to the Gem Lake Villas water main system (Vadnais Heights Service). The water <br />main would extend south from Goose Lake Road, continuing between the parcels to connect <br />midway at the end of the unimproved right-of-way east of Little Fox Lane. From there, the <br />watermain would extend to the northwest corner of the Villas development, creating a looped <br />system. A reference figure is provided below with the suggested loop shown as the pink dashed <br />line. <br />Additionally, the City reviewed options to connect two small, privately owned cul-de-sacs to the <br />new water main. The first is off Big Fox Road heading west and the second is off Goose Lake <br />Road heading south, located approximately 540’ east of Labore Road. Stubbing a connection for <br />these cul-de-sacs would provide landlocked parcels easier access to the new watermain. These <br />parcels are not currently included in the assessment roll and therefore, the stubbing of a larger <br />water main pipe to service them was not considered. Instead, the City will install a corporation <br />stop at the main as part of this project for each of the parcels to connect to when they choose to <br />in the future.
