City of Ramsey Local Water Supply Plan <br />Part 4. ITEMS FOR METROPOLITAN AREA COMMUNITIES <br />Minnesota Statute 473.859 requires WSPs to be completed for all local <br />units of government in the seven -county Metropolitan Area as part of the <br />local comprehensive planning process. <br />Much of the information in Parts 1-3 addresses water demand for the next 10 years. However, <br />additional information is needed to address water demand through 2040, which will make the <br />WSP consistent with the Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act, upon which the local <br />comprehensive plans are based. <br />This Part 4 provides guidance to complete the WSP in a way that addresses plans for water <br />supply through 2040. <br />METROPOLITAN <br />COUNCIL <br />A. Water Demand Projections through 2040 <br />Complete Table 7 in Part 1D by filling in information about long-term water demand projections <br />through 2040. Total Community Population projections should be consistent with the <br />community's system statement, which can be found on the Metropolitan Council's website and <br />which was sent to the community in September 2015. <br />Projected Average Day, Maximum Day, and Annual Water Demands may either be calculated <br />using the method outlined in Appendix 2 of the 2015 Master Water Supply Plan or by a method <br />developed by the individual water supplier. <br />B. Potential Water Supply Issues <br />Complete Table 10 in Part 1E by providing information about the potential water supply issues <br />in your community, including those that might occur due to 2040 projected water use. <br />The Master Water Supply Plan provides information about potential issues for your community <br />in Appendix 1 (Water Supply Profiles). This resource may be useful in completing Table 10. <br />You may document results of local work done to evaluate impact of planned uses by attaching a <br />feasibility assessment or providing a citation and link to where the plan is available <br />electronically. <br />C. Proposed Alternative Approaches to Meet Extended Water Demand <br />Projections <br />Complete Table 12 in Part 1F with information about potential water supply infrastructure <br />impacts (such as replacements, expansions or additions to wells/intakes, water storage and <br />treatment capacity, distribution systems, and emergency interconnections) of extended plans <br />for development and redevelopment, in 10-year increments through 2040. It may be useful to <br />refer to information in the community's local Land Use Plan, if available. <br />Complete Table 14 in Part 1F by checking each approach your community is considering to <br />meet future demand. For each approach your community is considering, provide information <br />about the amount of future water demand to be met using that approach, the timeframe to <br />52 April 7, 2017 <br />
