2.5.3 Groundwater <br />Roseville is served by the St. Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) which supplies <br />drinking water to the City of St. Paul and neighboring communities. The St. Paul Regional <br />Water Service is supplied primarily by surface water from the Mississippi River, but <br />approximately 7% of all the water they provide is groundwater. In Ramsey County, both <br />porous unconsolidated sand and gravel glacial deposits and fractured, weathered limestone or <br />sandstone bedrock formations act as aquifers. The primary public drinking water aquifer is <br />the Prairie du Chien - Jordan (Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Plan, 2009). In order to <br />protect groundwater aquifers and public drinking water sources, the Minnesota Department of <br />Health (MDH) delineates wellhead protection areas and drinking water supply areas which <br />are shown in Figure 15. <br />2.5.4 Pollution Sources <br />Information on individual pollutant sources is available from the MPCA's "What's In My <br />Neighborhood ?" (WIMN) online tool. This detailed information has not been included here <br />as it is subject to frequent change and may be obtained by calling the MPCA or by visiting <br />the MPCA's website (www.yca.state.mn.us) which has information on various pollutant <br />sources and related regulatory programs. A map identifying site locations (as of 07/16/12) is <br />displayed in Figure 16.
