slowed down in the past three to five years. For the five , year period ending in 1980, the rate of growth was 7.4 per— cent. Presently, the Metropolitan Council is projecting a 1990 population of 13,900 for Ramsey, which is a 3.2 percent growth rate per year. This is somewhat less than Ramsey's projection of 4.2 percent or a 1990 population of 15,225. Planning for sewer in Ramsey and surrounding communities has been a much discussed topic. The discussion has involved the future of the Anoka Waste Water Treatment Plant and the pos— sibility of either serving Ramsey with an interceptor sewer line through Anoka, Champlin, and Brooklyn Park or expanding the Anoka plant. Although a final recommendation has not been made, present plans seem to indicate the following: 1) CAB (Champlin, Anoka, Brooklyn Park) interceptor — The CAB interceptor may not be constructed as originally scheduled. The original plan recommended extending the CAB interceptor line through northern Brooklyn Park through Champlin and across the Mississippi to Anoka. Because of downstream constructions in the interceptor line, and overloaded lift stations, the Anoka portion of the CAB interceptor will be constructed first, and this flow will be diverted to the Anoka treatment plant. The existing sewered area of Champlin will continue to go to the Anoka treatment plant until the CAB interceptor is extended through Brooklyn Park. 2) Anoka treatment plant — There has been considerable dis— cussion about the future of the Anoka treatment plant. Discussion has ranged from phasing the plant out of exis— tence, to expanding the facilities to handle increased flow. Although a final decision has not been made, it appears that Anoka and Ramsey will continue to use the plant until it reaches its design capacity. As was men— tioned previously, it is hoped that by that time, various downstream constructions will be resolved regarding un— dersized interceptors and overload lift stations between Anoka and the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant allowing for the phase out of the A.W.T.P. WASTE Ramsey's goals for development are dependent upon sewer MANAGEMENT service being available to the city to allow for orderly b. Goals & Needs and planned development. It is Ramsey's primary goal to expand and develop the industrial /commercial area along State Trunk Highway 10 to provide a strong tax base for the City. It is projected that by 1990 the commercial /industrial sewered population equivalent (P.E.) in the Mississippi River Watershed will be 2,840. This projection is based on present building permit activity which indicates that approximately 15% of all permits taken out in 1981 are 70a 9 -14 -81 1 -7 -82 4 -1 -82
