Water Treatment Plant Groundbreaking Future Site of the New WATER TREATMENT PLANT City f RAMSI_l JNI._ 111 The City of Ramsey held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new ten million -gallon -a -day Water Treatment Plant on July 18. This project has been included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan since 2004. In 2019, the Minnesota Department of Health discovered that manganese levels in some of the City's wells exceeded the recommended limit. The City knew it was time to get the project underway. Pilot studies were conducted, which led to a feasibility study and eventually to full plans and specifications. The water treatment plant was officially awarded on March 28, 2023, to Magney Construction, with a total project cost estimated at $42.5M. The City is in an exceptional financial position, saving approximately $32 million in advance from water and sewer utility funds, which will go toward the project's cost. Additional financing will come from issuing a revenue bond whose debt service will be paid by water and sewer utility users via utility bill collections. Thank you to State Representative Harry Niska and State Senator Cal Bahr and their colleagues, Representative Norris, Representative Newton, Senator Abler, Senator Hoffman, Senator Hauschild and Senator Gustafson, for writing special legislation allowing the City to receive $3 2 million in bonding appropriations and a sales and use tax exemption status during the 2023 Legislation Session. The City's key partners in the project are SEH, Inc., Oertel Architects, SRF Design, Tree Engineering & Land Surveying, our project manager AE2S and the general contractor Magney Construction. Recognition needs to be given to the current City Council for following through with the project and staff members, past and present, who have worked diligently to see it come to fruition. City Councilmembers Debra Musgrove, Michael Olson, Dan Specht, Mayor Mark Kuzma, Councilmembers Matt Woestehoff, Chelsee Howell and State Representative Harry Niska ceremonially broke ground for the new Water Treatment Plant. Staff members and construction partners also participated in the event. 2 CITY OF RAMSEY I Weekly UPDATE I July 21, 2023
