<br />system will serve 13,921 people in 2020 and 22,987 in 2030. The draft Water Supply Plan projects the <br />The projected 2030 average day and maximum day (the largest daily water use in a given year) water <br />Water Supply Plan (Ramsey, 2018a)are approximately 2,090 gallons per <br />minute (gpm) \[3.01 million gallons per day (MGD)\] and 6,060 gpm (8.73 MGD), respectively. Current daily <br />water demand (based on the period 2013-2017) averages approximately 1.7MGD. Maximum day demand <br />ranged from 4.4 MGD to 5.4 MGD in the period 2013-2017 (e.g., Ramsey, 2018). The current permitted <br />instantaneous pumping rate for the system is 8,200 gpmand the permitted annual volume is 850 MG. <br />The City currently adds chlorine and fluoride to the water supply at the pumphouses associated with the <br />wells (Ramsey, 2018a). In addition, ortho and polyphosphates are also added to the pumped water at the <br />pumphouses to inhibit corrosion and sequester iron and manganese.The City currently has four <br />wells is routed to the pumphouses for treatment as follows: <br />Pumphouse 1 water from Wells 1 and 2 <br /> <br />Pumphouse 2 water from Wells 3 and 4 <br /> <br />Pumphouse 3 water from Wells 5 and 6 <br /> <br />Pumphouse 4 water from Wells 7 and 8 <br /> <br />The City currently has the capacity to treat up to 11 MGD. <br />Ramsey currently has three elevated water storage facilities. These facilities have a combined storage <br />capacity of four million gallons. Construction of additional water storage facilities is not currently planned <br />(e.g., Ramsey, 2018). <br />As shown in MDH (2018), 2011 through 2015 pumping information from the City was used in the <br />development of pumping rates for use in delineating the WHPAs. Annual volume of water pumped by <br />11 through 2015 is shown in Table 2. <br />1.3DWSMAs <br />The DWSMAs delineated in the Part 1 WHPP amendment encompass the 10-year groundwater time of <br />two Drinking Water Supply Management <br />Areas (DWSMAs) have been delineated for Ramsey (MDH, 2018). These DWSMAs encompass Wellhead <br />Protection Areas (WHPAs) for the following Ramsey water supply wells: <br />West Wells 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 <br /> <br />East Wells 1 and 2 <br /> <br />The West DWSMA is found in Township 32N, Range 25W, Sections 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, and 29 (Figure 1). <br />The East DWSMA lies in Township 32N, Range 25W, Sections 25 and 36 (Figure 1). <br /> <br /> <br /> 5 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />
