Table 13.2 outlines this <br />information. The last column of this table estimates the number of residents and <br />employees that will be served by the municipal water system based on the ratio of rural to <br />urban residents shown in Table 13.1 above. <br />Table 13.2 2001 Comprehensive Plan Population Projections by City of Ramsey <br />Year <br />1990 <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />2020 <br />Population <br />12,408 <br />19,630 <br />25,050 <br />32,250 <br />Number of <br />Households <br />3,620 <br />5,950 <br />8,350 <br />10,750 <br />Existing Water System Description <br />Number of <br />Employees <br />1,941 <br />2,500 <br />7,000 <br />9,000 <br />Population Served <br />by Municipal System <br />11,000 <br />22,000 <br />28,000 <br />Water Supply. The City currently operates five municipal wells in two well fields <br />(Figure 13.2) and anticipates drilling an additional well in the near future. Approved <br />wellhead protection plans for both well fields are on file with the Minnesota Department <br />of Health (MDH). <br />All five wells have been developed in the Franconia -Ironton -Galesville (FIG) aquifer. A <br />more complete description of the subsurface stratigraphy and geologic morphology is <br />provided in Item 19. Figure 19.3 graphically displays the well drilling logs for the three <br />wells on and adjacent to the RTC site. <br />Table 13.3 summarizes the capacity of each well and its permitted appropriation. <br />13-2 <br />
