Cameron Anderson, Chairman, of the Roseville \Ja,ter Study <br />Conmuttee, presented the following report: <br /> <br />The Roseville Water Study Co~~ittee, pursuant to the request of <br />the Village Council, has conducted extensive personal interviews <br />with various eJ~erts and has made an exhaustive detailed study <br />of available materials concerning the natter of a municipal water <br />system during the course of at least two and often three meetings <br />a week over a period of appro:{imately three months. <br /> <br />The Conw~ttee recow~ends, by a vote of eleven to zero, that a <br />municipal water system be established as soon as is practical and <br />that the construction thereof is financially feasible. <br /> <br />The Comm.ittee further recommends by a vote of seven to four that <br />the source of supply of water for aforesaid municipal water system <br />be a surface supply purchased from either Minneapolis or St. Paul. <br />The recorunendations as to the source of water was based, among <br />other, upon the follo,D_ng considerations: <br /> <br />1) A surface supply would be more dependable since doubt <br />exists in the mind of some authorities as to the long- <br />term adequacies of ground water. <br /> <br />2) Surface viater purchased from either city .muld be of known <br />quality. <br /> <br />3) Authorities generally agree that lime soda softening as <br />obtained from either city appears more desirable than <br />other softening systems. <br /> <br />4) A less complex operation of a municipal water system <br />would be required. Maintenance costs would be pre- <br />dictable. <br /> <br />5) A surface water system would probably be a better water <br />system to integrate into a metropolitan water system <br />at a later date. <br /> <br />8:00 P.B. <br /> <br />J:.lQNUTES <br /> <br />VJATEH STUDY <br />COl-:JHI T'l'EE <br />PEPORT <br />
