He stated that a water treatment plant is currently included in the CIP for groundwater <br /> treatment. He stated that the trend across the metro is that as cities continue to develop, the <br /> residents do not like the orange tint that accumulates. He stated that the question would be <br /> whether it would be better for the City to treat the water or have the industrial uses treat their <br /> own water. He provided background information on the funds available through the <br /> Metropolitan Council for a regional surface water treatment system. He stated that this is a <br /> planning level study, which would provide more accurate costs and options as well as design <br /> alternatives. He stated that Ramsey and the three other cities involved have passed resolutions in <br /> support of the study, which will be funded through Clean Water funds that were received by the <br /> Metropolitan Council. <br /> City Council Work Session/November 13,2018 <br /> Page 1 of 8 <br />
