Feasibility Report <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard Extension <br />City of Ramsey <br />In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, an 18 -inch sanitary sewer would be extended <br />westward in Bunker Lake Boulevard a distance of approximately 3,800 feet to Puma <br />Street. This line will provide service to the school campus, as well as future development <br />that may occur on the south side of Bunker Lake Boulevard, and could be further extended <br />in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />B. Water Distribution and Supply Improvements <br />Because the initial watermain extension will not be looped, a 16 -inch watermain will be <br />required in order to provide sufficient water supply to the school campus development. <br />Watermain will be extended across Armstrong Boulevard through a steel casing from the <br />existing main on the east side of Armstrong and then westward in Bunker Lake Boulevard <br />to Puma Street, a distance of approximately 3,800 feet. <br />Water usage in the Alpha Development is projected to be approximately 1,000 gallons per <br />day per acre. This usage rate is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of <br />Ramsey. A summer usage peaking factor of 3.0 is likely in order to maintain attractive <br />landscaping and an inviting atmosphere. Storm water reuse for landscaping needs should <br />be considered in order to reduce the summer demand of the proposed development on the <br />water supply system. Long term supply of water for the City of Ramsey is not addressed <br />in this report. <br />In the future, this trunk watermain can be extended north to Alpine Drive via Puma Street <br />to provide future looping and water to unserviced areas and future developments. A <br />future water main loop will reduce pressure drops during high demand periods and <br />improve water quality by eliminating the long dead-end run of trunk water main. Loops <br />within the development will be utilized to promote reliability and functional flexibility as <br />well as promoting fresh water moving throughout the system. <br />Elevated storage for the City of Ramsey is adequate to provide fire flow to the <br />development. The distribution system is adequate to move the water from the City's three <br />towers to the proposed development area. <br />Prepared By: R16.102774 <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc. November 2010 <br />
