EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The City of Shorewood's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan evaluates the existing sanitary
sewer system, projects future wastewater flows, and outlines the timing and sequence of future
improvements to accommodate those flows. The Sanitary Sewer Plan allows the City and the
Metropolitan Council (MCES) to build and improve their sanitary sewer collection and treatment
systems so that development can occur in the most efficient and cost - effective manner.
Existing System
The City of Shorewood's sanitary sewer system currently consists of approximately 60 miles of
sanitary main, fourteen lift stations, and 2.6 miles of forcemain, which were installed from the
early 1970's onward. Several of the City's lift stations have not been rehabilitated since the early
1970's. The wastewater flow is measured at eight MCES meters and is discharged to ten MCES
interceptors. It is then conveyed through the MCES system to the MCES Blue Lake Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the City of Shakopee.
Population and Wastewater Flow
The City of Shorewood has seen an increasing trend in its population over the last ten years.
MCES meter data from the last five years shows that wastewater flow is increasing as well. The
average wastewater flow from 2012 -2016 was 0.77 million gallons per day (MGD).
Growth and Flow Projections
The largest development within Shorewood is the redevelopment of the Minnetonka Country
Club site into 142 single - family residential lots, which was approved in 2016. The Metropolitan
Council projects that the population of the City will increase by approximately three percent
between now and the year 2040. This report projects that the City's average wastewater flow
will increase to 0.81 MGD by the year 2040.
Proposed Improvements
The City trunk gravity sewers (greater than 8 -inch diameter) reviewed in this plan all have
adequate capacity through the year 2040. In addition, the City's fourteen lift stations are all
projected to have adequate capacity through the year 2040. Therefore, the City's sanitary sewer
investments are focused towards maintaining and rehabilitating the existing system. The City
has budgeted $70,000 annually for inflow and infiltration (1 /1) reduction projects. The City also
plans to rehabilitate Lift Station Nos. 7, 10, and 20 over the next three years.
Changes From 2030 Plan
In this cycle of Comprehensive Planning, MCES has required greater detail and analysis of lift
station and trunk sewer capacity, which this plan provides. They also require greater detail and
a stronger commitment regarding 1 /1, so this plan includes more information on 1/1 identification,
mitigation, and budgeting. Sanitary sewer improvements remain focused on system
maintenance and rehabilitation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
The City of Shorewood is required to prepare a Comprehensive Plan that aligns with the
Metropolitan Council's Metropolitan System Plan every ten years per Minnesota Rule 473.858.
The Sanitary Sewer Plan is one component of the Comprehensive Plan. It evaluates the
existing sanitary sewer system, projects future wastewater flows, and outlines the timing and
sequence of future improvements to accommodate those flows. The Sanitary Sewer Plan allows
the City and the Metropolitan Council to build and improve their sanitary sewer collection and
treatment systems so that development can occur in the most efficient and cost - effective
manner.
The City of Shorewood's Sanitary Sewer Plan was developed to align with the Metropolitan
Council's Thrive MSP 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. The Thrive MSP 2040 Plan was
approved in May 2015 and outlines regional goals for the wastewater system, including
environmental sustainability, water reuse, and water conservation. Additionally, the Thrive MSP
2040 Plan includes population, household, and employment projections, and projected
wastewater flows.
Despite projected population increases, the Metropolitan Council estimates that sanitary sewer
flows from the City of Shorewood will decrease by approximately 5% by the year 2040. This
Sanitary Sewer Plan outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council can expect to see
changes in wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity upgrades will be
required at regional wastewater treatment plants and interceptors. This plan also serves as a
guiding document for City infrastructure improvements and expansion.

BACKGROUND
The City of Shorewood is located in western Hennepin County on the southern shores of Lake
Minnetonka. Clockwise beginning to the north, the City of Shorewood is bordered by the Cities
of Tonka Bay, Excelsior, Greenwood, Deephaven, Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Victoria,
Minnetrista, Mound, and Orono. The City of Shorewood is primarily residential with some
commercial and public land, and approximately 60 percent of the City is covered by lakes,
wetlands, and floodplains.
Shorewood has been designated entirely as a suburban community. This designation indicates
that the City experienced continued growth over the last thirty years. The Metropolitan Council
expects suburban communities to, "plan for forecasted population and household growth at
average densities of at least 5 units per acre ... and to target opportunities for more intensive
development near regional transit investments."
The City's sanitary sewer system was first installed in the early 1970's. Capacity limitations in
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) sewer system created service issues
for Shorewood in the mid 1980's, but improvements to the regional interceptor system resolved
those issues. Today, Shorewood is fully built -out and is served completely by the municipal
sanitary sewer system. Given that no further expansion of the system is required, the City
currently focuses on system maintenance and upgrades.

EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
The City of Shorewood's existing sanitary sewer system collects and conveys wastewater to ten
MCES interceptors and eight MCES meters. It includes fourteen local lift stations, which are
summarized in Table 1. In this report, the system has been divided into service areas based on
the receiving lift stations and MCES interceptors. A map of the existing sanitary sewer system is
shown in Figure 1, and a map of the service areas is shown in Figure 2.

Individual Sewage Treatment Systems
The City of Shorewood requires that all new development connect to the sanitary sewer system
and prohibits the installation of new individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS), or septic
systems. The only ISTS that remain in use are located at 6185 Mill Street, 26750 Smithtown
Road, and on Gale Island and Spray Island, which are not served by the public system. These
locations are shown in Figure 3. The section of Shorewood City Code regarding ISTS, Chapter
904: Sewer Code, is consistent with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulations
(Minnesota Rules Chapters 7080 - 7083). The provisions, excerpted below, specify connection to
the public sewer and abandonment of ISTS.
Subd. 3. Connection to public sewer, abandonment of systems.
a. The owners of all houses, buildings or properties which abut upon or are served
by a public sewer and where cesspools and septic tanks have been in existence prior to
the construction of the sanitary sewer shall connect with the public sewer when public
sewer becomes available to the property. Shoreland property shall be further governed
by Minn. Rules § 6120.3400. Any septic tanks and cesspools and private sewage
disposal facilities then existing shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
b. At the time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private
sewage disposal system, as provided in § 904.05 of this chapter, a direct connection
shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this chapter. Any septic tanks,
cesspools and similar private sewage disposal facilities then existing shall be abandoned
and filled with suitable material.
Community Treatment Systems
There are no public or private community treatment systems within the City of Shorewood. All of
the properties within the City are served by the public collection system or by individual sewage
treatment systems, as described above.

FORECASTS
Population
The Metropolitan Council publishes population and sewer usage forecasts for each city in the
Metropolitan Area. These forecasts help cities prepare infrastructure for growth and promote
continued maintenance of municipal infrastructure. The forecast data in Table 2 is from the
Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook Community Page for Shorewood. Nearly the
entire population of Shorewood is served by the public sanitary sewer system, save the few
ISTS described previously. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that the entire
population is sewered.

Population, households, and employment are all projected to increase gradually over the next
few decades. The population of the City is projected to increase by approximately three percent
between now and the year 2040. Estimates of which MCES Meters and Interceptors can expect
to see growth and an increase in sanitary flow, based on existing land use and the areas of the
City that are expected to develop or redevelop, are shown in Table 3.

Projected Wastewater Flows
The wastewater flow from the City of Shorewood is treated at the Blue Lake WWTP. Table 4
lists projected total average wastewater flow from Shorewood to the Blue Lake WWTP, as
estimated by this Sanitary Sewer Plan and by the MCES Water Resources Policy Plan (WRPP)
Note that the projections used in this report, based on MCES meter data and unmetered flow
estimates, are slightly different from the flows projected in the WRPP.

SANITARY SEWER DESIGN CRITERIA
Land Use
Detailed information and figures regarding Shorewood's land use are included in the City's 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City's existing and 2040 land use maps were used in the
development of this plan. Using existing land use, metering data, and future land use
information, current and future flows were calculated and divided by meter service area as
described below. This analysis considered the land use designations listed in Table 5. The
largest development within Shorewood is the redevelopment of the Minnetonka Country Club
site into 142 single - family residential lots, which was approved in 2016.
Estimated Average Flows — Existing
The existing wastewater flows within the City were estimated based on a combination of MCES
meter data and land use designations. The MCES meter data provides flow rates for broad
metersheds within the City. Flow rates for the smaller sanitary sewer sub - districts and lift station
service areas were estimated by calibrating flow estimates based on land use designations and
acreages with the MCES meter data.
Estimated Average Flows — 2040 Build Out
Once existing flows were estimated, future flows were projected based on the planned 2040
land use from the Land Use Plan. Parcels that are planned to be developed were assigned
wastewater flow rates in accordance to their land use type. Table 5 lists the assigned flows,
which include design considerations for inflow and infiltration (1 /1). The Inflow and Infiltration
section of this report provides more information about 1/1 as it relates to Shorewood's sanitary
sewer system.

Future flows were added to existing flows to determine if existing pipe capacities will be
sufficient. In locations in which development will lead to pipes that are under capacity,
recommendations are made to address the issue.

Peak Flow Factors
To ensure that the sanitary sewer system is capable of handling flow fluctuations throughout the
day, peak flows are calculated using peak factors based on average flows. The peak factors are
provided by the Metropolitan Council and scale based on average flows. Pipes that serve small
generator customers are more likely to experience large fluctuations in flows. Therefore, the
peak factor decreases as average flow increases. The Metropolitan Council peak flow factors
for sanitary sewer design used in this report are shown in Figure 4 below. Note that historical
peak factors calculated from MCES meter data, as available, are used in lieu of the standard
peak factors to calculate existing peak flows.

SANITARY SEWER TRUNK RECOMMENDATIONS
The firm capacity, existing flow, projected flow, and projected residual capacity for each of the
City's lift stations are listed in Table 7. The existing wastewater flows were estimated based on
metering and billing data from MCES for 2012 -2016 and the land use designations within each
lift station's service area. The increase in projected flows was estimated based on the land use
designations of areas that are expected to develop or redevelop by 2040. Standard MCES peak
factors for sanitary sewer design were used to calculate peak flows, except for those lift stations
located within metershed M415, where a historical peak factor calculated from MCES meter
data was used to calculate existing peak flows. The standard peak factors were applied to
calculate all 2040 peak flows.

Table 8 lists the capacity, existing wastewater flow, 2040 projected flow, and residual capacity
of the City's trunk sewers. Trunk sewers were identified based on the sewer mains that convey
the majority of the wastewater flow generated in each metershed. Peak factors utilized to
calculate peak flows are based on the recommended MCES factors displayed in Figure 3. This
report does not analyze the capacity of the MCES interceptor sewers that pass through the City
of Shorewood.
Table 8. Trunk Sewer Capacity Analysis
As seen in Table 7 and Table 8, upgrades to the existing list stations and trunk sewers will not
be required to provide service through the specified planning period. Additionally, no new trunk
sewers and lift stations will be needed. Lateral sewers may be extended as development or

MCES Interceptor Facility Forecasts
The MCES interceptors used by each meter service area, as well as the 2040 forecasted flow to
those interceptors, are listed in Table 9. Note that the total flow listed may not correspond to the
flow at every point along the interceptor, as the flow may accumulate along the interceptor path
through the metershed. Also, note that the flow listed is only the flow generated in Shorewood
and does not include any flows from neighboring communities that may also discharge into the
metershed.

INFLOW AND INFILTRATION
General
Inflow is water, typically stormwater, which enters the sewer system through broken manhole
covers, sewer cleanouts, sump pumps, foundation drains, and rain leaders. Infiltration is water,
typically groundwater, which leaks into the sewer system through cracks in the sewer mains,
laterals, joints, and manholes.
Water from inflow and infiltration (1 /1) can consume available capacity in the wastewater
collection system and increase the flow into treatment facilities. In extreme cases, the added
flow can cause bypasses or overflows of raw wastewater. This extra flow also requires a larger
capacity in the city's collection and treatment components, which results in increased capital,
operation and maintenance, and replacement costs. As a sewer system ages and deteriorates,
1/1 can become an increasing burden on a City's system. Therefore, it is imperative that 1/1 be
reduced whenever it is cost effective to do so.
In 2006, the MCES began an Ongoing 1/1 Program which requires communities within their
service area to eliminate excessive 1 /1. The MCES establishes annual 1/1 goals for each
community discharging wastewater into the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) based on
average daily flows, adjustments for community growth, and 1/1 mitigation peaking factors.
Flow metering data is available for the metersheds within Shorewood, and an analysis of this
data as it relates to 1/1 is presented on the following page. The City completed a three -year 1/1
reduction program in the early 1990's which included the televising, sealing, and repair of older
sections of the system located in wet soils. In the 1990's, the City also began an aggressive
sump pump inspection program to eliminate the discharge of stormwater from private properties
to the sanitary sewer system. In the 2000's and 2010's, several segments of the sanitary sewer
system were rehabilitated or replaced as part of the City's regular street and utility improvement
projects, as described in Table 11. The City's existing strategies, programs, investments, and
goals for reducing 1/1 are listed in this section.

1/1 Analysis
Shorewood's sanitary sewer system currently consists of approximately 60 miles of sanitary
main, fourteen lift stations, and 2.6 miles of forcemain, which were installed from the early
1970's onward. Those lift stations that have not been rehabilitated since the early 1970's (see
Table 1), and the surrounding sanitary sewers, are more susceptible to 1 /1. An estimated 29% of
the residential housing within the City was built before 1970. Of the pre -1970 era private
services, none have been evaluated for 1/1 aside from the sump pump inspections mentioned
previously.
The amount of clearwater flow generated within the City was estimated by calculating the
average annual and peak quarter 1/1 rates, equal to the average wastewater flow minus the base
wastewater flow, using data from 2012 -2016. The average flow, both annual and quarterly, was
calculated from MCES meter data. Because much of the wastewater flow in the City of
Shorewood is unmetered, the finest time scale for which flow estimates are available is
quarterly. The peak quarter flow was determined for each year from 2012 -2016, and then those
peak quarter flows were averaged to give the value listed in Table 10. The base flow was
approximated as the winter water usage, which was calculated as the average water pumped in
December through February from 2012 -2016 times a historical ratio of water used to water
pumped (presented as Total Water Delivered divided by Total Water Pumped in the City's
Water Supply Plan). Because the City has two separate water systems, West and East, a
separate 1/1 estimate was made for each system based on the corresponding sanitary sewer
districts.

1/1 Reduction
The City's strategy for preventing excess 1/1 includes requiring all development to conform to
City standards. City code prohibiting the discharge of storm water to the sanitary sewer system
and requiring the disconnection of existing 1/1 sources is excerpted below.
904.09 PROHIBITED DISCHARGES INTO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM.
Subd. 1. Prohibited connections. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged,
directly or indirectly, any storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff,
subsurface drainage or cooling water to any sanitary sewer. Any person having a roof
drain, sump pump, unauthorized swimming pool discharge, cistern overflow pipe or
surface drain connected and /or discharging into the sanitary sewer shall disconnect and
remove any piping or system conveying the water to the sanitary sewer system.
In addition, the City has routine activities directed at recognizing and correcting 1 /1. The City's
annual Street Improvement Projects include sewer televising, chimney seal installation, pipe
lining, and manhole grouting. Some of the specific projects completed by the City of Shorewood
to reduce 1/1 are shown in Table 11. The costs listed only include sanitary sewer improvements.
Table 11. 1/1 Activities Completed
The City of Shorewood will continue to proactively identify 1/1 sources and take corrective
actions. The City has budgeted $70,000 annually for 1/1 reduction projects in addition to its other
sanitary sewer improvement projects. The rehabilitation that has been completed to date has
resulted in a reduction of 1 /1. However, the remaining 1/1 continues to be a concern and is being
addressed by the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The City of Shorewood's Comprehensive Water Plan describes the City's existing water
distribution system and water demand, projects future water demand through the year 2040,
and proposes infrastructure improvements to accommodate that demand. This Plan has been
prepared according to the guidelines established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The Water Supply Plan that will be attached to this
report follows a template provided by the DNR, while this Comprehensive Water Supply Plan
expands upon the template for City and Metropolitan Council planning.
Existing System
The City of Shorewood's water distribution system provides approximately 145 million gallons of
water each year to nearly 1,500 service connections. The overall system is composed of several
separate water distribution systems: two major systems known as the West and East systems,
and three small service areas supplied by the Cities of Chanhassen, Excelsior, and Tonka Bay.
Each major system is served by three groundwater wells and one water tower. Chlorine is
added for disinfection and fluoride to prevent tooth decay at each well house.
Population and Water Demand
The population of the City of Shorewood shows an increasing trend over the last ten years.
Despite this growth, the average daily water demand and the per capita water demand have
shown a decreasing trend. Improved appliances, reduced irrigation, general attitudes toward
conservation, and rainfall likely all play a role in these trends.
Growth and Demand Projections
The Metropolitan Council projects that the City of Shorewood will continue to develop and grow
over the lifetime of this Plan, and that its total per capita water use will plateau by the year 2020.
The City of Shorewood's water distribution system is expected to serve 4,110 people by the
year 2040, at which time the projected total per capita water use of 109 gallons per capita per
day will result in an average day demand of 0.45 million gallons per day and a maximum day
demand of 1.17 million gallons per day.
Proposed Improvements
The City has planned several improvements to its well houses over the next few years. In
addition, trunk watermain will need to be extended to accommodate future developments, as
well as existing unserviced developments wishing to connect to the City system.
Changes From 2030 Plan
This plan provides greater detail on the existing system, including interconnections with
neighboring systems and those areas served by neighboring communities. The DNR has also
been increasing its emphasis on water conservation, wellhead protection, and natural resource
impacts, so this plan includes additional detail on Shorewood's efforts in those areas.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose
This Comprehensive Water Supply Plan is a section of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of the Comprehensive Water Supply Plan is to provide an overview of the City's
current drinking water resources, infrastructure, policies, and challenges, and to present future
plans.
The City of Shorewood has identified the following policies and goals for its water distribution
system:
• The overall water system is to remain financially self- supporting.
• Any future extensions of City water must be consistent with the overall plan for City
water (i.e. pipe sizes).
• Properties used for commercial purposes, multiple - family residential purposes
involving four or more dwelling units, and single - family residential developments of
more than three lots shall connect to the municipal water system where it is
technically and financially feasible
• Allow water main extensions to provide water to residents where technically and
financially feasible and where demand can be demonstrated. Consider a super-
majority of residents as being demand for water extensions.
This Comprehensive Water Supply Plan has been prepared according to the guidelines
established by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) per Minnesota Statute 473.859, which requires water supply plans be completed by all
local units of government in the seven - county Metropolitan Area. The attached Water Supply
Plan conforms to the template provided by the DNR, while this Comprehensive Plan expands
upon the template and provides further information for City and Metropolitan Council planning.
Background
The City of Shorewood is located in Hennepin County on the southern shores of Lake
Minnetonka and includes 5.5 square miles of land area and 8.0 square miles of open water.
Only a portion of the properties within the City limits are currently served by the City's water
utility; the other portion, including the islands, is served by private wells.
The scope of this study includes the population projections from the City's overall
Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)
City System Statement, to project water system demands for the City of Shorewood through the
year 2040. The 2040 service area was defined based on the Land Use Plan prepared for the
City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Existing and future water demands were calculated for the
City based on the historical data and population projections.

Water Use Categories and Definitions
General water use categories and definitions used in this report, as defined by the Department
of Natural Resources, are as follows:
• Residential uses consist of water being used for normal household purposes, such as
drinking, food preparation, bathing, washing clothes and dishes, flushing toilets, and
watering lawns and gardens.
• Institutional uses consist of those for hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, and
other facilities that use water for essential domestic requirements. This includes public
facilities and public metered uses. Institutional water -use records are typically
maintained for emergency planning and allocation purposes.
• Commercial uses consist of water used by motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings,
and commercial facilities.
• Industrial uses consist of water used for thermoelectric power (electric utility generation)
and other industrial uses such as steel, chemical and allied products, food processing,
paper and allied products, mining, and petroleum refining.
• Wholesale deliveries consist of bulk water sales to other public water suppliers.
• Unaccounted water is the volume of water withdrawn from all sources minus the
volume sold.
■ Non - essential water uses as defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, include lawn
sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other non - essential uses.
Some of the above categories also include non - essential uses of water.

EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing water distribution system for the City of Shorewood is shown in Figure 1. It
currently serves nearly 1,500 connections. The system consists of approximately 30 miles of
watermain, including both ductile iron pipe ranging from 6 -inch to 20 -inch in diameter. The
existing water system consists of three separate systems: West and East major systems, and a
smaller central system. Each major system is served by three wells and one water tower.
Water Sources and Treatment
Well information by system is provided in Table 1. The total well pumping capacities in the West
and East systems are 1,750 gpm and 1,850 gpm, respectively. The West System has a firm
capacity (capacity with the largest well out of service) of 1,000 gpm, and the East System has a
firm capacity of 850 gpm. Well logs and maintenance reports are included in Appendix 1. The
City's water level monitoring plan is included in Appendix 2, and water level graphs for each
well are included in Appendix 3.

Water Distribution
The West System provides service primarily to the developments to the west of Excelsior. Pipe
diameters in this half of the system range from 6 -inch to 20 -inch of ductile iron watermain. The
20 -inch watermain is a short segment connecting the water tower to the system. The 16 -inch
trunk watermains run along Smithtown Road, Eureka Road, and Minnetonka Drive. The
remainder of the watermain is 6 -inch, 8 -inch, and 12 -inch.
The East System provides service to the developments to the east of Excelsior. This half of the
system includes pipe diameters from 6 -inch to 16 -inch of ductile iron watermain. The 16 -inch
watermain connects the water tower to the system, while the 12 -inch trunk watermain runs
along MN State Highway 7, Old Market Road, and St. Albans Bay Road. The remainder of the
watermain in this half of the system is 6 -inch and 8 -inch.

POPULATION AND WATER DEMAND
The population served by the City of Shorewood's water system shows an increasing trend over
the last ten years. The total population served by the City's water system was 3,865 in 2015.
Population, water use, and water demand data from the past ten years are listed in Table 2.
Despite the increase in population served and the number of water connections, the total water
used and the total water pumped have been decreasing steadily since 2012. The residential and
total per capita water demands also show decreasing trends since 2012. It is likely that
improved appliances, reduced irrigation, general attitudes toward conservation, rainfall, and
climate all play a role in these trends.

Existing Water Conservation Policies
Although Minnesotans benefit from the state's abundant water supplies, those supplies are finite
and potential threats exist that could impact the quality of our drinking water. Factors that can
potentially limit water supply include population increases, economic trends, uneven statewide
availability of groundwater, climate change, and degraded water quality. There are many
benefits to enacting water conservation policies and many practical, feasible objectives the City
has already and will continue to pursue.
The average total water pumped per year in the City of Shorewood from 2012 to 2016 was 149
million gallons, with an average of 0.9% of that usage being unmetered or unaccounted. The
average residential per capita demand has been decreasing steadily since 2012. From 2012 to
2016 the average residential per capita use was 97 gallons per day, which is greater than the
DNR's recommended residential demand of less than 75 gallons per capita per day. As
previously discussed, the decrease in residential per capita demand may be attributed to
improved appliances, reduced irrigation, general attitudes toward conservation, and rainfall.

Wellhead Protection
Long -term preventative programs and measures for the City's existing water system will help
reduce the risk of emergency situations. The City of Shorewood has a number of programs to
help reduce these risks. This includes a Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) that was adopted in
December of 2015 and is due to be updated in 2025. It lists the following goals:
1. Maintain or improve the current level of water quality so that the municipal water supply
will continue to meet or exceed all applicable state and federal water quality standards.
2. Continue to supply sufficient water quantity for system users and emergency needs.
3. Provide and promote activities that protect the source water aquifer that provides water
to the municipal system. This will include increased public awareness of the Wellhead
and Source Water Protection Program and groundwater - related issues as well as
management of the identified potential contaminant sources and conveyance
mechanisms within the Drinking Water Supply Management Area ( DWSMA).
4. Continue to collect data to support future wellhead and source water protection efforts.
In order to achieve these objectives, the WHPP lists the following measures to be implemented:
• Well Management
• Promote proper sealing of abandoned, unused, unmaintained, or damaged wells
• Identify remaining unlocated wells within the DWSMA
• Educate the public about proper well management
• Identify new high- capacity wells within the DWSMA
• Continue to monitor the water quality from the City's wells
• Update the Inner Wellhead Management Zone (IWMZ) surveys
• Monitor and work to minimize impacts within the IWMZ area
• Public Education
• Foster public support for and understanding for the WHPP
• Develop an understanding for the location of the gas and oil pipelines within the
DWSMA
• Storage Tank Management
o Educate owners of all storage tanks greater than 1,100 gallons within the
moderate vulnerability area of the DWSMA on the importance of spill prevention
• Data Collection
• Continue to collect and maintain local geologic and hydrogeologic data
• Evaluate the water quality monitoring strategy and results
• Maintain up to date information about wells and potential contaminant sources
within the DWSMA
• Land Use Planning and Zoning
o Consider the location of the DWSMA during land use planning and zoning

GROWTH AND DEMAND PROJECTIONS
The City of Shorewood is projected to experience gradual growth and development. The City's
projected population and water demands are listed in Table 5. The population projections were
calculated using the Metropolitan Council estimated rate of growth through the year 2040 for the
City of Shorewood and the known population and population served values from 2016. As of
2016, any new population growth will be serviced by the municipal water system. The total per
capita water demand of 109 gallons per capita per day was calculated from the average 2012-
2016 demand, shown in Table 2. A peaking factor of 2.6, which is the City's average 2012 -2016
peaking factor, was applied to calculate maximum day demand. The maximum day demand is
expected to reach 1.165 million gallons per day by the year 2040.
It is important to note that there are several connections located in the south - central part of
Shorewood that receive water from the Cities of Chanhassen, Excelsior, and Tonka Bay. The
population served by these connections is estimated to be approximately 151. Given the
peaking factor and the total per capita water demand used in this study, the connections
supplied by neighboring communities require an estimated maximum day demand of 0.043
million gallons per day. This maximum demand flow was removed from the City -wide maximum
demand displayed in Table 5 prior to distributing total maximum demand between the East and
West systems based on historical water pumping data.
The expected increase in demand through the year 2040 was assigned to each system based
on the location of expected development or redevelopment. The City reserves the right to deny
permission for a subdivision if City water is not available at that property.

Future Water Conservation Policies
The Minnesota DNR has established eight water conservation objectives and strategies. These
are listed below with comments on the City of Shorewood's progress towards the completion of
each.
1. Reduce unaccounted (non- revenue) water loss to less than 10 %.
• The City's average unaccounted water use from 2012 to 2016 was 0.9 %, which is
well below the recommended target of 10 %. The City has an automated meter
system to notify the City of leaky fixtures, and leak detection surveys are performed
as needed.
• There are a total of over 1,400 metered connections in Shorewood. The City
completed meter replacement projects in recent years, 2007 and 2009. Meter
replacement efforts completed by the City consisted of converting the majority of the
meters (1,393) into automatic meters. Residential and commercial meters are tested
as requested by the owner.
2. Achieve residential demand of less than 75 gallons per capita per day.
• The average residential per capita water demand for the City of Shorewood from
2012 to 2016 was 97 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), which is greater than the
DNR's 75 gpcd target. Data from the DNR and the City indicates that residential water
demand has been decreasing since 2012.
• In order to continue reducing residential demand, the City will review its ordinances
on water efficient landscaping and water reuse annually, consider revising its
ordinance to limit irrigation in 3 -6 years, continue to make water system
improvements, provide incentives for installing water efficient appliances and fixtures
in 1 -3 years, and provide incentives to reduce outdoor water use in 1 -3 years
following adoption of this plan. The City will also continue water conservation
education and outreach.
3. Achieve at least a 15% reduction in per capita daily demand across all customer
categories over the next 10 years.
• The City of Shorewood will conduct facility water use audits annually, install
enhanced water meters capable of automated readings to detect spikes in
consumption, install conservation fixtures and appliances, repair leaking system
components, investigate water reuse, and reduce outdoor water use.
4. Achieve a decreasing trend in total per capita demand.
• Residential water usage shows a fluctuating trend, although it has steadily decreased
since 2012. Commercial, institutional, and industrial (C /l /1) water use follows a similar
trend. Decreases in water usage since 2012 may be attributed to water efficient
fixtures and public education on the importance of water conservation. A graph
showing total per capita water demand by customer category is included in Appendix
8.
5. Reduce peak day demand so that the ratio of maximum to average day demand is less
than 2.6.
• The City's ten -year average (2005 -2014) ratio of maximum to average day demand is
3.3. The position of the DNR has been that a peak day /average day ratio that is
Comprehensive Water Plan
City of Shorewood, MN
WSB Project No. 2925 -36
PAGE 12
above 2.6 indicates that the volume of water being used for irrigation in a community
is too high and that efforts should be made to reduce the peak day use by the
community.
6. Implement a conservation water rate structure
• The water rates in Shorewood are based on an increasing block rate structure. This
rate structure promotes water conservation because the price is volume- tiered. Water
billing in Shorewood is on a quarterly schedule, and a copy of the rate structure is
included in Appendix 9.
• The City has also implemented restricted summertime lawn watering hours to reduce
peak day demands during months of high water usage.
7. Additional strategies to reduce water use and support wellhead protection planning
• The City of Shorewood will consider implementing a rebate program for water efficient
appliances and fixtures.
8. Tracking success
The City will continue to monitor water usage by customer category, including the
City's regular maintenance activities (hydrant flushing, street sweeping, etc.).
Regulation
The City of Shorewood has implemented regulation to reduce demand and improve efficiency in
its water system. During May 1 I through September 30th each year, residents can water lawns
only before 11:00 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m. This regulation helps prevent wasteful irrigation and
reduces summer season water demands. A critical water deficiency ordinance has also been
established. A summary of these and additional water regulations is included in Appendix 10.
Retrofitting Programs
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) provides education about rain gardens and
native and drought tolerant landscaping and has a cost share program to encourage clean -
water landscaping.
Education and Outreach
The City has implemented, or plans to implement, the following education and outreach
programs:
• Consumer Confidence Reports prepared annually
• Shore Report, News for Residents of the City of Shorewood, prepared each month
• Information available at utility and public buildings and on the City website

PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
The City of Shorewood's water system will require maintenance and trunk watermain
expansions through the year 2040. Table 6 lists the improvements proposed, along with
estimated dates of implementation and costs, in order to maintain the City's system. In addition,
the City's Capital Improvement Plan is included in Appendix 4.
Table 6 — Proposed Capital Improvements
*Values listed include both direct and indirect costs.
Proposed Sources and Treatment
It is recommended that a City's treatment or production capacity be equal to at least the
maximum day demand with the largest well out of service (firm capacity). Since the City has
two separate systems, each should be able to satisfy this constraint individually.
The West System's firm capacity is 1,000 gpm. The daily demand for this system is projected to
reach a maximum of 366 gpm by the year 2040. Thus, maximum day demand for this system is
not projected to exceed its firm capacity by the end of the planning period.
The East System's firm capacity is 850 gpm. The daily demand for this system is projected to
reach a maximum of 414 gpm by the year 2040. Thus, maximum day demand for this system is
not projected to exceed its firm capacity by the end of the planning period.

Proposed Storage
It is recommended that a system's total storage capacity equal or exceed its average day
demand. The West system's storage capacity of 500,000 gallons exceeds its projected 2040
average day demand of 203,000 gallons. The East system's storage capacity of 400,000
gallons also exceeds its projected 2040 average day demand of 229,000 gallons.
Proposed Distribution
To provide service to future and existing developments, the City will need to expand trunk
watermain in several areas. Areas in need of expansion were identified in the 2012 Water
Distribution Plan Update through the year 2031. The main goal of the 2012 Water Distribution
Plan was to provide recommendations for the City's water system expansion including a Capital
Improvement Plan cost forecast for watermain segments, alternative construction methods to
reduce overall project costs, policy alternatives to encourage residents to connect to the City's
distribution system, and alternatives for funding the expansion of the system. The plan
projected a $26 million investment to expand the water distribution network over a twenty -year
time span. The majority of the plan focused on the expansion of the system by proposing the
addition of lateral watermain (8 -inch diameter and smaller) to provide general distribution of
water to properties, with a few trunk mains (10 -inch diameter and greater) to provide water
distribution to networks of lateral watermain.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES
Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination,
mechanical problems, power failures, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The
purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify
actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these
procedures should be in support of, and part of, an all- hazard emergency operations plan.
Federal Emergency Response Plan
Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended by the Public Health Security and
Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107 -188, Title IV — Drinking
Water Security and Safety), requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to
prepare an Emergency Response Plan.
The City of Shorewood has a Federal Emergency Response Plan that was revised in 2011. The
contacts for this plan are:
Emergency Response Lead: Larry Brown
Phone: (952) 960 -7913
Email: (brown @shorewoodpw.com
Operational Contingency Plan
The State recommends that all utilities develop an operational contingency plan that describes
measures to be taken for water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures, as
well as for routine maintenance. A contact list for contractors and suppliers and a water
emergency telephone list that act as an Operational Contingency Plan are included in
Appendix 5.
Emergency Response Procedures
Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources, water treatment, and the
distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation and maintenance
records should be maintained in secured central and back -up locations so that the records are
accessible for emergency purposes. A detailed map of the system showing the water sources,
treatment plant, storage facilities, supply lines, interconnections, and other information that
would be useful in an emergency should also be readily available. It is critical that public water
supplier representatives and emergency response personnel communicate about the response
procedures and be able to easily obtain this kind of information both in electronic and hard copy
formats (in case of a power outage).
The City of Shorewood maintains records and maps of the water system. City staff can access
these resources from a central secured location in the event of an emergency, and appropriate
staff know where these resources are located.

Procedures for Augmenting Water Supplies
The City of Shorewood has six interconnections with four neighboring communities, to be used
only in the event of an emergency. Each interconnection has a capacity of 1,000 gpm. The
interconnections are with Minnetonka at Vine Hill Road and Shady Hills Road and at Vine Hill
Road and Waterford Place; with Chanhassen at Silver Lake Trail; with Victoria at Smithtown
Road; and with Tonka Bay at CSAH 19 and Glen Road and at CSAH 19 and Smithtown Road.
The City is exploring a possible interconnection with the City of Excelsior and has identified
potential locations for that interconnection. Copies of the cooperative agreements for these
interconnections are included in Appendix 6.
In the case of a short -term emergency, the City would need to obtain and distribute bottled
water. For a long -term emergency, the City will evaluate the cause of service disruption and will
determine if a new water source or improved water treatment is necessary. The scale of the
response will depend on the cause of the disruption. In this case, a feasibility study will be
conducted to determine the most cost - effective solution to the issue.
Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures and Triggers
The City must prepare procedures to address gradual decreases in water supply, as well as
emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc.
These allocation and demand reduction procedures must be consistent with Minnesota State
Statute 103G.261 that identifies and defines the priorities in which water usage will be allocated
in the event of an emergency. They are defined as follows:
1. Domestic water supply only, excluding industrial and commercial uses of municipal
water supply. The first priority also includes uses for power production that meet
contingency requirements. Domestic use is defined by MN Rules 6115.0630, Subp. 9, as
use for general household purposes for human needs such as cooking, cleaning,
drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and uses for on -farm livestock watering excluding
commercial livestock operations which use more than 10,000 gallons per day or one
million gallons per year.
2. Consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day.
3. Agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products of more than 10,000 gallons
per day.
4. Power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency plan.
5. All other water use of more than 10,000 gallons per day.
6. Non - essential uses. These uses are defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as lawn
sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other non - essential uses.

Minnesota Statutes require public water supply authorities to adopt and enforce water
conservation restrictions during periods of critical water shortages. As stated in Minnesota
Statutes 103G.291, Subdivision 1, regarding public water supply appropriation during
deficiency, if the governor determines and declares by executive order that there is a critical
water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water must adopt and enforce
water conservation restrictions within their jurisdiction that are consistent with rules adopted by
the commissioner. The restrictions must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and
park irrigation, and other nonessential uses, and have appropriate penalties for failure to comply
with the restrictions.
The City has a critical water deficiency ordinance defined in Shorewood City Code, Chapter 9:
Section 903.12 Subd.1. A copy of this ordinance is included in Appendix 7. The City has
authorized the City Council to have standing authority to implement water restrictions, which
improves response times for dealing with water emergencies.
