SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE The purpose for this study is to update the City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan taking into account current population and land use projections. These projections are provided by the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Past sanitary sewer studies have been completed for the City of Ramsey in the years 1971, 1974, 1978, 1989, 1991 and most recently in 2004 and 2005. Prior to 2004, sanitary sewer planning was completed primarily to determine the appropriate sizing of the metropolitan sewer facilities that ultimately serve the City of Ramsey. The intent of this study is to incorporate the key components of past studies into one working document for future sewer planning. As with the 1991 and 2004 Comprehensive Sewer Plans, this study does not propose the expansion of sanitary sewers. The purpose of this report is to identify ultimate sewer flows based on current land use planning and identify the approximate location, sizing, and capacity of the trunk facilities needed to serve the potential growth. This study also estimates the cost of projected future sanitary sewer system improvements and evaluates if the current connection charge system is adequate to fund the improvements. B. REPORT ORGANIZATION To adequately address the major areas that are evaluated, the report is organized in five sections as shown below: Section 1: Introduction. Section 2: Reviews projected sanitary sewer flows based on anticipated population trends. Section 3: Evaluates the existing major sanitary sewer system components.
