City of Shore wood's Water System, Water System Ordinance and Policies
DATE:
SUBJECT:
During discussions on the 2003 budgets, the City Council expressed concerns about the financial
condition of the Water Fund. It wished to review the physical infrastructure of the City's water
system, as well as the Water Ordinance (Section 903 of the City Code) and the policies related to
extension of City water services. Some councilmembers were disappointed that the number of new
connections-new customers-to the system was relatively small, and consequently the increasing
cost to operate the system must be spread among existing customers.
In preparing for this City Council work session~ we (staff) have spent several weeks sorting through
the history and current state of water affairs in the City. Policies and ordinances have shifted,
memories of what has and has not been in effect, what exceptions have been recognized, all have
combined to sow confusion among even well-informed people.
Throughout this memorandum, we have sought to simplify issues and focus on what may be done
from this point forward. As we provide a staffoerspective for Council's consideration, we view key
issues to be:
a) The guiding principle in establishing water rates should be to recover the costs of operations
and maintenance, and should not include shortfalls in debt service obligations.
b) For the City and its customers, the on-going economy of the water system is dependent on
encouraging connections to it. As a corollary, extending the water system increases the
potential for connections.
c) Connections to City water need to be more attractive, through pricing and through
information about the benefits of public water. (For some benefits, see Page 11 of this
memo.)
d) Current policies may act as barriers to extension of water services.

A couple of questions remain in the background, for which there are no definitive answers at this
time. We do not have sufficient knowledge or perspective to address some of the big questions when
considering the future of Shore wood's water system:
1) Is reliance on private wells a sustainable practice? How long will the natural resource be
available and safe?
2) What is the likelihood of State action requiring public water? Might it be required when
certain densities of development (existing and new) exist?
A topical overview of the water system and issues follows.

I. Physical System Overview
The City's water system is currently composed of five separate systems. However, these separate
systems have been installed in order to take opportunities to connect them. All of the existing wells,
storage tanks, and watermains are necessary for the individual systems to operate, and all will be
needed when they may be connected.
Included in the attachments are maps showing the current facilities and the master plan for the water
system.
Immediate/Near-term System Needs: The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the
Water system addresses needed upgrades to the infrastructure. They include:
· Badger Wellhouse: The existing pumps and building need to be replaced for safety and
reliability in operations. The Badger location is the eastern well in the system serving the
western half of Shorewood, and will be a key central well in an interconnected system. The
cost ofthis reconstruction and improvement, scheduled for 2003, is $398,000.
· Amesbury: The Amesbury system is a small one serving a limited number of customers in
northeastern Shorewood. This system is designed to connect to the "southeast system". This
interconnection will provide greater reliability, pressure, and water quality to customers in that
area. These upgrades are not scheduled during the next five years.
· Woodhaven System: The Woodhaven well serves a limited number of customers south ofSt.
John the Baptist Catholic Church in Excelsior. Staffhas been working with City of Excelsior
staff and the Church to extend the water supply from Excelsior. When this connection is
made, the W oodhaven well would be abandoned. Residents will have better reliability,
pressure, and water quality. Fire protection would also be greatly enhanced. This
improvement is shown in the CIP for 2003 at a cost of$140,300.
There is also a need to clarify water capacity - in terms of diameters ofwatermains - resulting from
the newly-effective version of the Uniform Fire Code (UFC). As we have learned from the CUB and
EFD West/SLMPD Station projects, the water flow capacity required for fire protection has been
increased significantly. Consequently, the watermains planned for the City's system may need to be
larger than currently designed.
Interconnections: Shorewood's systems currently have connections to systems in the cities of
Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Victoria, and Tonka Bay. These interconnections provide some mutual
level of assurance of back-up sources of water if a system is unable to meet demand (e.g.,
firefighting, well/pump failure). These interconnections are not imperative to the operations of any
of the systems, but they provide some level of insurance among the communities.

II. Financial Overview
Revenue for the City's Water Fund comes almost entirely from charges for service (i.e., water bills)
and "connection charges", the amount paid by property owners when they hook up to City water.
The current connection charge was set at $10,000, and was intended to pay for the capital costs of a
fully built-out system. Properties in areas for which special assessments were levied or pending prior
to 1998 are subject to a "unit" connection charge, and the number of units to be charged varies by
type and density of development.
Depreciation: The Water Fund financial summary shows a cost for depreciation. Theoretically,
depreciation should be covered by revenue to the Water Fund, so that these parts of the existing
infrastructure can be replaced with minimal additional funding. This is a non-cash item that affects
the balance sheet of the Fund (i.e., "fund balance"); it does not, however, affect the cash balance in
the Fund. It is an accounting standard in government finance, and will be required for compliance
with the new GASB 34 reporting that the City will need to perform early next year.
Here's an excerpt from a GFOA publication that summarizes depreciation:
" 'Funding depreciation' means that governments sometimes set aside resources during the
life of a capital asset to finance its replacement at the end of its useful life. Because
depreciation is based on the historical cost of an asset, setting aside amounts equal to
depreciation expense over the life of a capital asset rarely produces sufficient resources to
fund its replacement."
A policy decision can be made not to recover depreciation costs. It may become necessary to issue
debt for major maintenance or replacement of existing water system infrastructure. Reasons for not
recovering full costs should be articulated.
In recent years, revenue from connection charges and from an agreement with the City of Victoria
has been applied debt service payments and for accounting toward depreciation. The number of
connections annually has generally been declining for the past few years, and the financial agreement
with Victoria has run its course.
Debt Oblie:ations: The Water Fund currently has $1.73 million of outstanding debt. The bonds are
not callable until 2006. The number of recent connection charges is proving not been sufficient to
cover the annual debt service obligation. Hence, some of the debt service cost is reflected in the
water rate.
Water System, Ordinance, and Policies
January 27,2003, City Council Work Session
Page Five
Other Financial Considerations: On January 1, 2003, the City terminated its relationship with
Munitech for maintenance of the system and brought this responsibility in-house. Munitech
performed as well as it could within the contract for service and its need to be profitable. Staff
believes that the profit motive did not result in the best care of the system. We expect that the City
will see greater value for the monies it would have expended for Munitech's services. It is probable
that maintenance and operations costs now borne by the City will be somewhat larger, at least in the
short term, in order to address matters not sufficiently performed under the contract-for-service
arrangement.
Homeland Security is one unknown in terms of what may be required of municipal water systems.
We have taken the necessary steps to make the water facilities secure from unauthorized entry.
Whether this level of protection will be deemed adequate by federal and/or state agencies remains to
be seen.
Financial Trends: The 2003 rate increase for water was designed to cover the anticipated costs of
operations and debt service for 2003, but not depreciation. It is anticipated that the year-end cash
balance in the Water Fund will remain static.
· Opportunities to reduce expenditures always will be sought. Efficiencies gained in operations
likely would be incremental. With the exception of the Woodhaven system, which could be
transferred to Excelsior, it is questionable whether the existing system could scaled back
without compromising the system and its customers. Outlays could be reduced through
deferral of capital improvements (which does not result in long-term savings).
· To avoid future reductions in the cash balance, annual rate adjustments will be necessary to
meet operations and debt service expenses, unless there are significant increases in the number
of connections to the water system.

III. Water Ordinance:
The "water ordinance" appears in the City Code as Section 903. It addresses the use of the system, a
variety of specifications, ways to extend water services and ways to pay to do so. In actuality, the
water ordinance has several parts:
. The ordinance adopted by the City Council in April 1998.
. The resolution adopted by the City Council in April 1998, establishing the new ordinance and
leaving the prior ordinance in effect for proj ects with special assessments levied or pending on
January 1, 1998.
. The ordinance in effect prior to April 1998.
. The "Community Facilities" section of the Comprehensive Plan, which contains some guiding
principles related to the availability of potable water.
The "ordinance" is difficult to comprehend and cumbersome to administer. Staff suggests that it be
rewritten as one coherent. comprehensive ordinance. It may be streamlined by removing much of the
prescriptive specifications and referencing the City's subdivision regulations. It may be further
streamlined, for instance, by making reference to Minnesota Statute Chapter 429 (public
improvements and special assessments) rather than reiterating its provisions in the City Code.
Extensions to the Water System: The City Council last reviewed the water ordinance at a work
session on Februarv 26.2001. The memorandum for that discussion is attached. The Council
concurred with staffs interpretation of the three methods to initiate extensions of the water system.
Staff also suggested policies for clarity and consistency (see p. 3 of the memo) going forward, and the
Council agreed that these policies be developed.
Policies in the Comprehensive Plan: The following principles are followed for extensions ofthe
system.
. "With the exception of commercial and multiple-family residential, no one is required to
physically connect with the system.
. "New development of more than three lots shall provide City water where it is technically and
financially feasible." {Note: Parameters regarding feasibility have not been fully articulated.}
. "Allow watermain 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." {Note: Supermajority has been determined to be two-
thirds. }
Some clarification of terms may be helpful.
. "Connection Charge" is the fee (currently $10,000) to hook up to the City's water system. It is
paid when a property owner physically connects to the watermain. If a property owner in an
existing development chooses not to connect to a new watermain, he/she does not pay for the
pipe being placed in the street. A unit-basis for connection charges is in place for pre-1998
installations (i.e., varies based on type and density of development).
Water System, Ordinance, and Policies
January 27,2003, City Council Work Session
Page Seven
· "Assessment" has two uses.
(1) A special assessment pursuant to a City improvement project, as allowed by Chapter 429
of Minnesota Statutes. With policies adopted in 1998, the City does not levy special
assessments against individual properties to construct a watermain project.
(2) The Council may levy an assessment/or the connection charge against individual
properties. This approach can spread out the paYment of connection charges for property
owners over several years. Property owners may request the Council to levy such
assessment.
Pre-1998 Projects: In 1998, the City Council decided that special assessments (pursuant to MS 429)
that were then pending or levied against individual properties would remain. These special
assessments typically included the cost of the watermain, service connection stubs,
pavement/boulevard replacement, and a cost toward the "trunk system". Under the City's current
ordinance and policies, it depends whether affected properties not yet hooked up to the system would
be required to pay the $10,000 connection charge. A map showing pre- and post-1998 watermain
installations is included as an attachment.
Since 1998, the City Council has authorized extension of City water when there has been new
development (meeting the feasibility criterion) and when two-thirds of property owners along a new
watermain have submitted a petition for the improvement. The Council has required that petitioners
pay for the engineering feasibility study if the Council did not authorize the project to proceed (based
on IS-year financial feasibility). The 1998 ordinance does permit the City Council to initiate an
improvement project on its own; since adoption, however, the Council has not initiated a project.
Council established the connection charge at $10,000, and it is the same regardless of the type or
density of development.
The 1998 amendments require that Council adopt a resolution (not required by MS 429) to set the
public hearing for water improvements unless there is 100% agreement among the abutting residents.
They also require a minimum 1 O-days' published notice of a public hearing in the City's newsletter
and official newspaper before any modification can be made to Section 903 of the City Code.

IV. Alternatives regarding Extensions, Connections
Currently, the Comprehensive Plan shows the City's water system to be available eventually
throughout Shorewood. Owners of existing lots do not need to pay for the infrastructure until they
decide to connect to the water system. Planning and changes are evaluated, and costs are assigned,
based on their value or benefit to the system, rather than to individual properties.
Price of the Connection Charge: Questions have surfaced regarding the competitiveness and fairness
of the City's connection charge. The current cost structure may be discouraging new customers.
. Current criteria: For new development, the developer pays for all of the water infrastructure
and each lot is subject to the connection charge. The cost of the water infrastructure is passed
on to the subsequent purchaser of the property, so in effect City water costs more than the
$10,000 connection charge.
For existing development, petitioners must meet economic feasibility standards.
" .,. [P]etitioners [must] have agreed to pay the entire cost ofthe improvement minus
any oversize cost and minus the present value of any additional estimated net revenues
to the Water Fund occasioned by the improvement for a IS-year period." (Sec. 903.18,
Subd. 2b).
Thus, extensions to existing properties are deemed feasible if the costs per each are calculated
not to exceed $10,000, including no charge for oversizing and providing free water for up to
15 years. (These evaluation criteria were used with the installation of the Lakeside
watermain.)
As suggested in the February 2001 memorandum and concurred by Council,
. The connection charge for a single-family residential lot should be a minimum fixed rate.
. Any difference in the connection charge between an existing lot of record and a newly-created
lot may be discriminatory in nature. Therefore, the minimum connection charge should be
uniform.
. Residents who connect to a watermain improvement after-the-fact should pay the connection
charges that are in effect at the time of connection.
--Currently, then, every such property should be charged $10,000 (less any prior
assessments that may have been paid). Properties that have been assessed and have not yet
hooked up should be subject to the connection charge.
--The economic feasibility criteria could be revisited. Extensions of watermain could
be permitted where pro-rated costs exceed $10,000 per lot, provided that the property owners
agree to pay the resulting amount.

· Individuals or corporations who install improvements, e.g., watermain, service stubs, shut-off
valves, within the public right-of-way should be given a credit to be applied directly to the
cOlUlection charge.
--If, for example, someone spends $5,000 to install water infrastructure and $10,000
for the City's water connection charge, it would cost $15,000 to have City water. With new
wells costing in the $8,000 - 9,000 range, City water may be non-competitive.
--There is also a question of equity. A property owner pays the $10,000 connection
charge, and it is intended to cover all the cost of system infrastructure (less the service line
from the main to the building). Ifthere is not an existing line to hook onto, the owner has to
pay for the cost the new infrastructure as well. A "fixed cost" rather than a "cost-plus"
approach may be fairer and more competitive.
· If a residential connection requires excavation within the public right-of-way and installation
of a service stub, a credit should be applied to the connection charge.
--Currently, connection to an existing watermain may result in ripping up the street or
boulevard, and the property owner is responsible for restoration costs. If new customers
believe the connection charge is to cover all costs, then credit for these expenses would be
appropriate. Such restoration costs can run several thousand dollars. Crediting these costs
would make connection to the City's system more attractive financially.
Examples of Current Cases and Potential Credits: There are two projects, one approved and one in
concept, that illustrate the effects of providing credits for water infrastructure.
1) CUB/Linden Hills: Council has responded to a request from the owner/developer of
Shorewood Village Shopping Center to consider installation of a privately-constructed
watermain north through the Linden Hills subdivision, then under Yellowstone Trail, and then
north under Minnetonka Drive to connect to the City water system at Gillette Circle. After
installation, ownership would be turned over to the City. The extension would run along
about 30 properties. It would also be sized to serve a much larger area of that now-unserved
part of the City.
The 14-10t Linden Hills subdivision has had preliminary plat approval with private water
systems. Under the current cost-plus policy, preliminary estimates suggest that providing
City water would be about twice as expensive as having private wells. By limiting the
connection charge to $10,000 and crediting the developer with the cost of providing
watermain and service stubs, the City would realize net revenue to the system and have the
potential to gain customers.
Water System, Ordinance, and Policies
January 27,2003, City Council Work Session
Page Ten
The owner/developer of the shopping center prefers to have City water. The requirement that
a City-installed watermain extension have approval by two-thirds of the property owners
along the route, even if the developer were willing to pay the full cost of the improvements,
presented issues for planning and implementation.
2) Carmichael Auto Salvage: There has been some private interest expressed recently to
redevelop this property. Development of this property could provide an important segment of
the connection ofthe Amesbury system with the Southeast system. Providing credits on the
connection charge could make it likely that City water would be extended, and this long-
sought-after connection of the systems would be made. Again, there would be the potential
for new customers along the line.
It may be preferable to determine a cap for the credit that would be given. For example, there could
be a general policy with a fixed dollar amount per unit, or a case-by-case policy that would establish
a credit up to a certain percentage of costs.
Cost of the Feasibility Study: Current policy requires petitioners to pay for the engineering feasibility
study for the water system improvement project if the decision is made not to construct it. This
policy encourages petitioners to be serious about wanting City water extended to them, and protects
the Water Fund from frivolous requests to perform feasibility studies. On the other hand, this
possibility of having to pay for the study may discourage property owners from pursuing the
extension of City water.
One could also argue that such studies are necessary to evaluate extensions of the system, and that the
plans should be valid for several years as topography and roadways change little. It may be
considered appropriate for the City to share in the cost of producing a feasibility study.
Estimates of the costs to build out the system were made in 1995, and assumed that there would be
economies of scale with a lot of construction of the system occurring. These estimates could be
updated and shared with residents, so that they could weigh in on whether a feasibility study should
be undertaken.
Super-maioritv: Current policy requires that a super-majority - two-thirds - of property owners
along a new watermain agree to connect to it before the Council orders its installation. The Council
should consider whether this level of super-majority or some other (e.g., 55%?, 60%?) should be
required.
Gauging Interest: The Council has suggested that the City look at ways to determine where there is
growing or sufficient interest in extending City water. It has also encouraged staff to find ways to
market City water. There is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation here: Is there a growing interest
which would require little change to the ordinance/policies, or whether (and to what extent) changes
in the water ordinance/policies are necessary to make it attractive?

We can gather some information to target interest. For instance, we have anecdotal experience that
suggests houses with 25- to 30-year-old wells are needing wells and/or pumps replaced. On the
relatively small lots in Shorewood, it may be extremely difficult to site new wells or be able to get
drilling rigs on the properties. These parts of the City could be mapped, and residents in those areas
could be provided information about what is probable as their private water systems age.
Costs for new or replacement wells alone are currently in a typical range of$8,000 to $9,000. (We
have heard of a recent total private replacement that cost the property owner $12,000.) Private
systems have initial installation costs, as well as replacement costs. The City system is installed and
paid for once. This type of information can also be better developed and disseminated.
Another possibility to make it attractive to connect to the City's system would be to adopt a schedule
wherein the connection charge increases every few years.
The 2003 General Fund budget includes $10,000 to conduct a community quality-of-life/issues
survey. There may be ways to add questions and geographic indicators related to City water to the
survey, with the additional cost borne by the Water Fund.
Some quick points to relate to interest new customers:
· You only pay for the City's system once. With a private well, you need to maintain and
eventually replace the pump, and usually deepen or replace the well.
· The cost to connect to the City's system is competitive with the cost for drilling a new well
and installing a new pump.
· Connection to the water connection can be fmanced through the City at simple interest.
· The City's water rates are (may be?) similar to the operating costs for private wells.
· The City's system is reliable.
· You'll have water running when the electricity is out.
· You'll have more water available for firefighters to use.
· Your house may sell more quickly if you have City water.
· Some insurance companies offer lower homeonwers premiums if you have City water.
· The City's water is tested regularly (you can have assurance that it's safe).
· The City's water has fluoride added, thus providing a dental health benefit.
v. Concluding Comments
The water system has a long and varied history in Shorewood. The purpose ofthis report is to
summarize where a number of issues stand today. It is a starting point for what will likely be a series
of discussions by the Council about what to do from this point forward.

Background
The City of Shore wood has 1,126 individual service COIDlections to the municipal water system.
Other residents obtain water through individual residential wells.
The City of Shorewood operates and maintains five separate well houses, with a total of seven wells
to service the customers. For reference, the following table provides some basic infonnation of the
City's systems.

The Amesbury and W oodhaven wells are what are known as hydro-pneumatic systems. These types
of systems are designed for a small neighborhood system. The Minnesota Department of Health
recommends that the number of connections served by these types of systems should not exceed
twenty-five. Currently the number of connections for the Amesbury System is that are served by this
system exceeds this amount.
The Badger Field and Boulder Bridge well houses are interconnected via a trunk watermain on
Smithtown Road to the Minnewashta Water Tower. This tower is located at 26352 Smithtown Road.
This site is located on the Minnewashta Elementary School property by way of an easement. This
structure has a capacity of 500,000 gallons. The water servicing this area is not treated, with the
exception ofthe addition of chlorine and fluoride.
The Southeast area well is connected to the Waterford water tower located at 5500 Old Market Road.
This structure is located on City property, and has a capacity of 400,000 gallons. Water from this
well is treated for iron removal, along with the addition of chlorine, and fluoride prior to delivery to
the distribution system.
Capacities and Permitted Allocations
All commercial and municipal wells within the State are mandated to receive water appropriation
permits from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Table 2 indicates the volumes that are
pumped from the well systems and the permitted amounts.

The City of Shorewood exceeds the permitted water volumes in each area. While optimizations of
the system can be performed, the City must preserve the appropriation amounts currently in place to
avoid further fines due to over appropriation of water.
The City has even tried to negotiate in the past with the DNR to shift portions of appropriations form
one well to another. However, the DNR is not willing to make these types of adjustments due to
differences in aquifers and watershed recharge areas.
Recommended Changes for Optimization
From an technical viewpoint, the two revisions to the system that are recommended to optimize the
system are as follows:
1. Interconnection of the Woodhaven well to the City of Excelsior's Water System.
The current facility is deteriorating rapidly. Parts for the well controls are becoming obsolete.
In addition, the floor for the entire structure has settled approximately 1.5 inches. A
feasibility report was prepared several years ago to determine the most cost-effective
alternative to service this area. Options considered were "Do nothing," Rehabilitate the well
house, Reconstruct the well house, and connect the system in with the City of Excelsior's
system. The latter was the most cost-effective alternative.
2. Interconnection of the Amesbury Well system with the SE Area Water System.
As mentioned above, the Amesbury well system is over burdened, and does not meet current
regulations. In addition, both wells for the Amesbury system have been bordering
contamination standards for arsenic and radon. The Minnesota Department of Health
continues to restrict the allowable levels of contaminants for groundwater wells. It is very
probable that the City will be forced to either interconnect this system with the SE area
system to dilute contamination levels or add a water treatment system in the future.
Therefore, Staff is recommending that the City examine the feasibility of interconnection of
the Amesbury well system with the SE Area system.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
Mayor and City Council
Larry Brown, Director of Public Works ~
Craig Dawson, City Administrator .
TO:
DATE:
February 22, 2001
RE:
Discussion Regarding Municipal Water Ordinance
Attachment 1 is a Memorandum dated July 16, 1999 from Brad Nielsen, AI Rolek, Larry Brown,
and Jim Hurm regarding 4iscussion of City Water policies. Attachment 2 is the excerpt from the
latest draft of the Comprehensive Plan for Municipal Water.
It should be noted that the last page of Attachment 1 is listed as "Policy Alternatives." During
previous work sessions, Staff interpreted the feedback received by the City Council as reaching
consensus with regard to these alternatives.
While striving not to get bogged down in the details of the ordinance amendment, the following is a
summary of key points and issues that appear to have consensus, and items that have yet to be
addressed.
I. Actions for Initiation of an Improvement Project
It has been discussed previously that there are three primary scenarios to initiate a watermain
improvement project. The three scenarios are summarized below.
A. Scenario 1, Petition by Residents. If fifty percent of the owners of property along an
identified route petition the City for a watermain improvement project, the City Council will
direct the following actions to occur:
1. Verification that fifty percent of the owners (based ort a unit basis) along the identified
route are represented on the written petition.
o PRINTED ON RECYCLEO PAPER
:#3
"
2. After the petition has been formally accepted by the City Council, th~ City Engineer will
be directed to prepare a feasibility report as to the technical and financial feasibility of
such an improvement project.
3. If after the feasibility report has been prepared and presented, and two thirds of those
affected property owners along the route agree in writing that the project should proceed,
the City Council will order the preparation of Plans Specifications and Engineer's
Estimate for Construction.
4. A public hearing shall be ordered to review the proposed assessment roll and scope of
project. If found to be acceptable a project will be ordered.
B. Scenario 2 Review of the Installation of Watermain in Conjunction With a Roadway
Improvement Project.
In the event that the City of Shorewood initiates a public works improvement project for
roadway reconstruction, owners of property along the affected route will be "surveyed" to
determine if a report addressing the feasibility for the installation of city water is desirable.
If fifty percent of the affected property owners along the affected route desire such a project,
as evidenced by the survey, the City Council will direct the City Engineer to prepare a
feasibility report as to the technical and financial feasibility of such an improvement project.
From this point forward, the process would follow the identical process of lA 3 and 4 above.
C. Scenario 3 Water Improvement Project Ordered by the City Council That Stems out of
System Needs or Mandates From Other Agencies.
Under this scenario, the City Council can order an improvement project that may be required
t() meet an urgent need of the distribution system, or mandates to remain in accordance with
current standards. It has been discussed previously that a vote of 4/Stbs of the City Council
sh<?uld be required to initiate such an improvement project.
n. ..~~~.~ .'Qlicy
The City of ShorewOOdhas relied in the past on a unitasse~S111ent methodforinatallation of
municipal water projects. The followingia a summary of principles that~av~.been discussed
previously with alplitcharge, and itemsthalb.ave yet to be resolve6.
A. I~ is desirable to have the Connection Charge for single-family residential lot as a minimum
fixed rate. Costs determined by construction shall be portioned out equally amongst all of
tp.eaffectec:i units, with the minimUJnremaining at the set connection charge.
B. It bas been suggested that any difference intbe connection charge betWeen an existing lot of
record and newly-created lot is discriminat()ry in nature. Therefore, the minimum connection
charge should be uniform.
C. Indivi4ual8 or corporations who install improvements, i.e. watennain, semcestubs, shut off
valves, within.the public right-or-way. should be given a credit to be applied directly to the
connection charge, at the time.ofassessment.
D. Residents who connect to a watermain improvem~t after the fact, shall pay the connection
charges that are in effect at the time of connection. If such a connection requires excavation
within the public right of way and installation of a service stub, a credit shall be applied to
the connection charge at the time of assessment.
E. At some point a consensus as to the amount of a connection charge needs to be reached.
While not the focus of Monday night's work session, Staff is intending on performing a long-
term cash flow analysis of the City Water System to determine permissible ranges. It is
anticipated that this will be presented with the draft ordinance amendment.
These major issues indicated above and within the attachments are to serve as the basis of Monday
night's Work Session. Once a consensus has been reached, Staff will turn their attention to
amending the current ordinance to reflect these policies, and return to the City Council meeting with
a draft ordinance amendment.

RE: City Water Discussion - Study Session
FILE NO. Comp Plan - Comm. Facilities Chapter
Having discussed city water at several meetings, staff.has prepared an outline for the
section of the Community Facilities Chapter of the Comp Plan that addresses City Water.
The first two pages contain a very brief background on the current system and identify
issues that have been raised, to date. It is hoped that the last two pages can be formulated
into a bro~-based policy to be incorporated into the Plan.
This outline attempts to establish a general direction, from which more substantive plans
can evolve. With little exception, we have attemp~ to .avoid getting bogged down in
detail. Hopefully the Councllcan come to some agreement on Monday night so that we
can wrap up this section of the Comprehensive Plan. .':

this one;there should be!)
. AlIQwwater main extensions to provide water where residents want it
and where technically and fmancially feasible
.. Any future extensions must be consistent with overall plan for City water
(i.e. pipe sizes)
. With the exception of COmmercial and multiple-family residential no one
is required tophysicaUy c()nnec1 to the system
- existing wells can be maintained
- new wells can be drilled

Policy Alternatives
. Provide City water as economically as possible - explore ways to reduce
costs of water main extension
. New development (more than three lots) should provide City water
where it is available and financially feasible (e.g. $10,000 per unitor
less)
. Consider super-majority rule of the residents (e.g. 67 %) as being demand
for City water
. Explore demand for water with all s~eet reconstruction projects
- consider super-majority rule of residents as demand
- City Council can initiate projects on 4/5ths vote
. Prepare engineering cost estimates for various logical ex~ensions of
water main - to be used to advise residents of approximate cost only;
feasibility studies will still be prepared based upon interest; estimates to
be updated annually
. Plan ahead for water -leave right-of-way if nothing else

years.
The City~ite$ that all new development connect to the sanitary sewer system. Although new
on-site septic systems are prQhibited, a small number of systems remain in existence. These
systems should be identified and, where feasible, required to connect. Regulations to this effect
already exist within the. City Code.
Remaining new segments of the municipal system will be constructed and paid for as part of
private development projects. Gravity sewer is to be encouraged, while lift stations are to be
allowed only when gravity service is technically'and economically not feasible.
Municipal Water
Shorewood's municipal water system consists of five separate systems as shown on the following
_.~--_...,-_____pag.e._Approximatel}L40_percent-Of..the-bouseholds-ill-SAorcwood-m.:e..c-GnBeeted-t&-Uie-systen1;- ......--
In 1984 the City prepared a Comprehensive Water Study to serve as a guide for ~e development
of an overall system. The Study was updated in 1990 and again in 1996 after which the City
initiated a plan for extending water throughout the cQmmunity over a ten to twenty-year period.
Since then the City Council has detennined that the majority of Shorewood residents did not
support such an aggressive approach to the construction of a city..wide system. Consequently, '
the direction at this time is to concentrate on making the existing system as reliable and
financially viable as possible, and to serve residents where demand can be demonstrated.
~.
The City's water policies and codes should be updated based upon the following guidelines:
· The ov~rall water system is to remain fmancially self-supporting.
· Any future extensions of city water must be consistent with the overall plan for citY water
(Le. pipe sizes).
· With the exception of commercial and multiple-family residential, no one is required to
physically connect to the system. Further, existing wells can be maintained and new
wells can be drilled.
· New development of more than three lots shall provide city water 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
~f residents as being demand for water extensions.

The City will continue to examine ways to provide water as economically as possible. Future
planning should include the preparation of engineering estimates for various logical extensions of
water main. These estimates should be updated annually to advise residents of approximate
water costs. Feasibility studies will be prepared based upon interest. Water main extension
should be considered in all projects, providing adequate right-of-way, if nothing else. Finally,
the City should explore the demand for water in conjunction with all street reconstruction
projects.
Storm Sewer
In 1975 the City prepared a Comprehensive Storm Water Study which identified 16
subwatershed districts within the community (see page CF-19). The Purgatory Creek drainage
district and part of the Carson Bay district is located in the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek.
Watershed. The remaining 1$ drainage districts are located within the Minnehaha Creek'
Watershed. While the study proposed substantial reliance on natural drainage systems,
particularly the preservation and use of wetlands, a number of areas were proposed to be served
by storm sewer. New development has, for the most part, been requ.ired to install stonn water
drainage facilities consistent with the 1975 study. Certain_ areas which developed prior to the
Stormwater Study, however, have experienced drainage problems which have been difficult and
expensive to correct. The City has adopted a three-part program to add~s drainage problems:
1. A stormwater management utility has been established. funds from which are used
--------.----------- -------in-two-ways;-Half-o:fthe-annual-revenue-fromthe-utHit:y-i-s--set-aside-f-or-larg'e --.- --- --
drainage projects. The remaining funds are used on an annual basis for
maintenance or small drainage projects. Projects will be prioritized and
programmed based on the following crl.teria:
a.

b.
Public Safety and Health. Primary attention will be paid to those projects
that impact the public health or safety. These projects include ice
problems on the road, erosion that is causing a hazardous structural
problem (i.e. undermining a road), or storm water that is causing a
significant health problem (such as flOQding the sanitary systey;n).

Community
Facilities/Services
Issues
Sanitary Sewer Virtually the entire community is served
by the municipal sewer system, or has sanitary sewer
availability. With minor exceptions future extensions to
the.system will be paid for by private development.
Capacity issues raised in the past have been resolved.
Rate increases by the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission reinforce the need to control inflow and
infiltration into the existing system. Consequently, repair
and routine maintenance of the system will be a priority in
coming years.
Water System Despite an increased interest in the last
several years, the majority of residents do not feel that a
city-wide water system is desirable or economically
feasible at this time. As a result, future planning must
focus on determining where demand exists for city water
and finding ways to provide it as inexpensively as possible.
Aside from financial considerations, certain physical
deficiencies exist within the overall system:
Amesbury - This system consists of two wells serving 146
residential units. Without a backup source, the system is
near or at capacity. Interconnection to the southeast area
system is viewed as an important objective.
W oodhaven - Despite serving only 20 properties, the
extension of this system is not advisable due to the single
well and lack of a backup source. The City should continue
to explore the possibility of an interconnection with
Excelsior or Chanhassen to enhance the reliability of the
system.
Stormwater Management While new development in
recent years has been required to address storm water
runoff, many older parts of the community experience
drainage problems. The City has recently adopted a
program for funding stormwater management projects.

t
Since then the City Council has determined that the majority of Shorewood residents did not
support such an aggressive approach to the construction of a city-wide system. Consequently, .
the direction at this time is to concentrate on making the existing system as reliable and
financially viable as possible, and to serve residents where demand can be demonstrated.
The City's water policies and codes should be updated based upon the following guidelines:
. The ov~rall water system is to remain fmancially self-supporting.
. Any future extensions of city water must be consistent with the overall plan for city water
(Le. pipe sizes).
. With the exception of commercial and multiple-family residential, no one is required to
physically connect to the system. Further, existing wells can be maintained and new
wells can be drilled.
. New development of more than three lots shall provide city water 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.

The City will continue to examine ways to provide water as economically as possible. Future
planning should include the preparation of engineering estimates for various logical extensions of
water main. These estimates should be updated annually to advise residents of approximate
water costs. Feasibility studies will be prepared based upon interest. Water main extension
should be considered in all projects, providing adequate right-of-way, if nothing else. Finally,
the City should explore the demand for water in conjunction with all street reconstruction
projects.
Stonn Sewer
In 1975 the City prepared a Comprehensive Storm Water Study which identified 16
subwatershed districts within the community (see page CF-19).. The Purgatory Creek drainage
district and part of the Carson Bay district is located in the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed. The remaining 15 drainage districts are located within the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed. While the study proposed substantial reliance on natural drainage systems,
particularly the preservation and use of wetlands, a number of areas were proposed to be served
by storm sewer. New development has, for the most part, been required to install storm water
drainage facilities consistent with the 1975 study. Certain areas which developed prior to the
Storrnwater Study, however, have experienced drainage problems which have been difficult and
expensive to correct. The City has adopted a three-part program to address drainage problems:
1. A stormwater management utility has been established, funds from which are used
in two ways. Half of the annual revenue from the utility is set aside for large
drainage projects. The remaining funds are used on an annual basis for
maintenance or small drainage projects. Projects will be prioritized and
programmed based on the following criteria:
8/99
a.
Public Safety and Health. Primary attention will be paid to those projects
that impact the public health or safety. These projects include ice
problems on the road, erosion that is causing a hazardous structural
problem (Le. undermining a road), or storm water that is causing a
significant health problem (such as flooding the sanitary system).
b.
Substantial Financial Impact to the City. This category includes those
projects that, while not endangering the public health, will still have a
negative impact on the residents as a whole. Projects in this category
include minor infrastructure replacement that cannot be funded cost
effectively by other means. Other potential projects include erosion
causing property damage and minor structure replacement.
c.
Public Nuisance. This category includes those projects that cannot be
considered a substantial hazard, are not likely to cause a financial loss to
the City, but are a public nuisance. These projects include standing water
in the roadway, unwanted flooding in public parks, and minor erosion
projects.
d.
Private Nuisance. Finally, those projects that are a nuisance to a single
residence or small group of residences that the City Council deems that the
City has some responsibility to help correct. These projects include those

Chapter Summary
Community facilities and services include lands, buildings,
services and systems which are provided on a public or
semipublic basis. The City's goals in this regard are as
follows:
The City shall provide those basic facilities and services
which ensure the health, safety and general welfare of
the public, the cost of which facilities and services are
most efficiently shared by the general public.
The efforts of varying government agencies shall be
coordinated to avoid duplication of efforts, unnecessary
expense and improper location of public facilities.
The City shall establish a basis for developing and
maintaining a sound fmanciaI planning program for
capital improvements, relating such improvements to
actual need, proper location and timing.
Following is a summary of recommendations intended to
achieye these goals.
1. Develop policies to provide city water service
where demand can be demonstrated and where
technically and financially feasible.
2. Promote and increase the provision of facilities and
services on a joint-use basis between units of
govemmept.
3. Continue to identify problem areas of the sanitary
sewer system for televising, sealing and repair.
4. Establish a sewer maintenance program including
manhole inspection and sewer flushing on a three
year cycle.
5. Allow sanitary sewer lift stations only when gravity
service is not technically and economically feasible.
8/99 CF- 33
6. Explore the following water system improvements:
· Interconnect the Amesbury and Southeast Area systems.
· Interconnect the W oodhaven svstem with Excelsior or Chanhassen.
.
7. Water extensions must be consistent with Shorewood's Implementation Plan for Water
Distribution System Improvements, dated January 1996 and the "Ten States Standards".
8. Prioritize small drainage projects based on: 1) public safety and health; 2) substantial
financial impact to the City; 3) public nuisance; and 4) private nuisance.
9. Finance large drainage projects through special taxing districts based on established
subwatersheds.
10. Stormwater runoff shall be managed based upon the principle that the rate of runoff
leaving a site after development shall not exceed the rate of runoff prior to development.
11. Focus future park planning on the development of existing sites rather than on acquisition
of land, but examine land which becomes available to the City for recreational
opportunities.
12. Consider expansion of existing parks as funding allows.
13. Continue to coordinate recreational programs with other communities through the
Minnetonka School District.
14. Continue to provide police protection through the existing four-city joint powers
agreement.
15. . Continue to contract for fire protection through the Excelsior and Mound fire
departments.
16. Establish four to six refuse collection districts within the community t awarding contracts
to low-bidding private haulers.
17. Require all new development to place all utilities underground and establish a program to
eliminate overhead wiring over the next 10 to 15 years.
18. Provide street lighting only where consistent with adopted City policy.
19. Include expansion of the City Council Chambers in the Capital. Improvements Plan.
