Title:
Update on Water Supply Planning Efforts
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to update the Public Works Committee on the City of Ramsey’s current efforts related to planning for future water supply.
Background:
The City of Ramsey currently serves about half of its residential properties with water through its public water supply system. The other half are served by private wells.
The City’s entire water supply system is currently served by 8 groundwater wells. The City had planned to add more groundwater wells as needed, but the current direction from regulating agencies is to tap into existing surface water sources when possible. What this means for the City of Ramsey is that we need to consider using the Mississippi River for some or all of our future water supply needs.
Due to the large amount of data that impacts this discussion, Staff is preparing a PowerPoint presentation on this topic which will be presented during the meeting.
