One of the primary findings of this survey continues to be strategies to create additional <br />opportunities for residents to participate in the community. <br />• How can we provide opportunities for our community members that want to be engaged in <br />community? <br />• What programs and services would add value to our community? <br />Project No. RCP-17: Will the Faucet Turn On? (Water Conservation Toolkit) <br />Project Lead: <br />Bruce Westby, City Engineer <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />763-433-9825 <br />bwestby@cityoframsey.com <br />Project Description <br />Our community draws our water supply exclusively through ground water supplies. Our community's <br />soil conditions are very sandy, creating a significant demand for water supply in summer months. <br />Research indicates that our forecasted growth may eventually outpace groundwater supply. Our <br />community continues to explore alternative water supply from the Mississippi River. <br />Increasing water supply is only one piece of the equation. The City continues to explore opportunities to <br />reduce water demand. The City has created educational and communication pieces. The City has <br />implemented certain land use standards such as required topsoil. These efforts have assisted in reducing <br />water demand, but there are many other opportunities that we would like to explore to provide a menu <br />of options. <br />• What regulatory controls exist to reduce water demand? <br />• What incentive -based approaches exist? <br />• What financial approaches exist? <br />• When considering implementing new programs and standards, how do we best engage the <br />public in policy analysis before a decision is made? <br />City of Ramsey — Resilient Communities Program Application; February, 2017; 2/9/2017 10:30 AM <br />G:\ComDev\Landuse Applications\2016\16-99 Resilient Communities Project\Full Application\Preparation of Application\Resilient Communities <br />Project CC Authorize.docx <br />
