Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Eric Volk-Water Superintendent <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> April 14, 2015 5.6 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Gravel Mining Area Land Use, Transportation, and Utility Plan <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The Elk River City Council approved the Gravel Mining Plan last Monday at the city council <br /> meeting. The plan covers two areas, which are likely to develop in the future. The two areas <br /> cover a total of 530 acres. The areas will be broken down into three sections. The sections are <br /> 274 acres for housing, 119 acres for highway business, and 133 acres for industrial. Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities contributed$8,000 to incorporate the development of the water distribution <br /> system into the plan. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> The Gravel Mining Plan has projected that the system will grow from the south to the east. The <br /> area where the gravel mines are is higher in elevation than what our current system can sustain. <br /> Therefore, a booster station and a standpipe will need to be constructed to supply a sufficient <br /> amount of water to the future customers. In time, a water tower, wells, and water treatment plants <br /> will be situated in the new pressure zone. The projected daily total for the first two phases is <br /> 210,000 gallons per day. Attached is the Water System section from the Gravel Mining Plan.
