SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE The purpose for this study is to update the City's comprehensive sewer plans taking into account current population and land use projections. Past sanitary sewer studies have been completed for the City of Ramsey in the years 1971, 1974, 1978, 1989, and most recently in 1991. Prior to 1991 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 Comprehensive Sewer Plan, 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. 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. Section 4: Discusses the proposed sanitary sewer trunk system. Section 5: Summarizes recommendations and provides an implementation plan.
