The sanitary sewer trUnk main currently terminates 880 feet south of the Alpine Drive. The closest locations of the water main are an eight-inch main located on the south side of Alpine Drive and a 12-inch main on the west side of CSAH 5 (Nowthen Blvd.), a distance 300 feet north of 151st Lane.

City committed to contribute to the cost of part of the trUnk sewer line and allow for sewer and water trunk fees to be credited towards the installation of the trunk line. It is expected that a similar arrangement can be worked out as part of this development. However, the Ramsey City Council will be making the final determination in regards to this matter.
