Adams <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Proposed Twin Lakes Crossing <br /> <br />The proposed Twin Lakes Crossing development was discussed at staff review on May <br />2, 2002, and I offer the following comments. The water trunk line on Co. Rd. 13 will <br />need to be extended north to the northern edge of this development. The internal water <br />system is required to be looped for xvater quality and fire protection reasons and is a <br />standard requirement for all new developments. <br /> <br />The more serious consideration is adequate water quantity. Water usages in Elk River <br />has drastically increased due to lawn sprinkling. The number of water meters a typical <br />water production facility can support has decreased from 1000 to 650 meters. The <br />proposed Tvdn Lake Crossing development represents approximately ½ of a water <br />production facility. To provide adequate water quantity, another water production <br />facility is required. Two possible alternatives exist. The first is to construct a complete <br />water production facility around or in the north end of this proposed development at a <br />cost of $1.1 to $1.4 million. The other option is to construct a well only in or around the <br />north end of Grace Addition, ~vhich is a future Elk River Park. Water mains would then <br />be constructed along the 345 KV Excel electric transmission R/W to water production <br />facility #5 in the Hillside development. The #5 filter plant would be enlarged to <br />accommodate the additional capacity. The estimated cost would roughly be the same for <br />both options. I am now checking with Excel Energy if the last option is viable. <br /> <br /> <br />
