• <br /> 2. Storm Drainage <br /> The city has a storm drainage system constructed in 1981 comprised of a <br /> detention pond located in the Lions Park and a pipe network which discharges to <br /> the Mississippi River. This system provides drainage for an area generally bounded <br /> by Highway 169 on the east, Main Street on the south, the railroad and Proctor <br /> Avenue on the west and the School District property on the north. <br /> Storm drainage in other areas of the City consists of old small diameter pipe <br /> systems, county and local unmaintained ditch systems, and isolated wetland areas. <br /> 3. Water System <br /> The city has three wells from which it draws water. They are located at <br /> Jackson Avenue and 4th Street, the old city hall, and at the Cretex property near <br /> the Burlington Northern Railway. This system also has three towers all at the <br /> same elevation. They are located at Jackson Avenue, Cretex, and near the school <br /> administration building along Highway 169. <br /> Prior to 1981, the pipe network had no pipe over 10 inches in diameter with <br /> most pipes of 4 inch, 6 inch, or 8 inch diameter. However, since 1981, there have <br /> been 8,300 linear feet of pipe constructed ranging in sizes of 12 inches, 16 inches <br /> and 24 inches. <br /> The Comprehensive Water Plan - 1982, serves as a guide for decisions with <br /> respect to the water system of the city. <br /> • <br /> 6 <br />
