2. Water System IIIThe city has five wells from which it draws water. One well, located at Jackson Avenue and Fourth Street, is no longer used because of the sand content of the water is produces, and also, there is not treatment on this well. This well should be abandoned in the future. The other four wells are located at Highway 10 at the Chamber of Commerce site, at the Cretex property near Burlington Railway, at the Gary Street site, and in the Hillside Estates Addition. Each of the four active wells also has a water treatment plant associated with it for iron removal. Currently, the city flouridates but does not chlorinate its water. tiricir)42 The system also has five water towers, two of which are phased out. They are the 100,000 gallon towers located on Jackson Avenue at Fourth Street and at the Cretex site. The other three towers are located near the School Administration Building along Highway 169, Gary ;; ynk Street near Highway 10, and in the Hillside Estates Addition. The pipe network ranges from a maximum size of 24 inches down to 4 inch diameter. The c system is comprised of 46.4 miles of watermain. 3. Storm Drainage 4- a1c' .Id The city has a Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan which guides the construction of storm drainage facilities within the city. Currently, there are three major districts where facilities have Ai been constructed. These consist of the Central City where a detention pond located in Lion's 3 fY Park and a pipe network drain the area to the Mississippi River, discharging at the location of .Z��' Main Street and TH 10. The second drainage district is the 169 Corridor, where some of the trunk 1;)'b t ID lines have been constructed. There are future improvements needed as development p p continues in this district. The third area is the Western Area of the city. First and second phases L of this drain through a large diameter storm sewer to Lake Orono. Other storm sewer facilities in the city consist of smaller diameter pipes, county ditch system, and isolated wetland areas. D. PLAN The Utilities Plan includes an expanded urban service area (Figure 3-C) and a phasing component for a systematic extension of water and sewer services. Expansion of the existing ,� Qv facilities in an orderly manner will serve two purposes: 1) it will allow for urban density n expansion in additional parts of the city at a cost effective rate, and 2) it will increase the '2e (1.V utilization of the sanitary sewer and water facilities, thus spreading costs over a larger population. \-ibe. *:\1444 i t;oP Phase I expansion is targeted to occur before 1993. This five year expansion is to be west of the /p existing urban service area between the Mississippi River and the Elk River (the western area), and east of Highway 169 between Elk Hills Drive and 197th Avenue. The western area should �" be serviced as soon as economically feasible. Phase II expansion is targeted to occur after the completion of Phase I. Any expansion is contingent upon the city's determination that there is readily available a cost effective method by way of which to extend those services to the serviced properties without undue burden to the taxpayers. All future development within the boundaries of the planned urban service district will require immediate hookup to the water and sanitary sewer systems except for the residential area between the Elk River, County Road 35, Meadowvale Road and the western boundary of the `, IIcity which will require overlay plats for future development. �� "
