Advantages of Stormwater Reuse Option
• Saves space in downtown redevelopment area vs. stormwater ponds or infiltration features
• Provides needed irrigation system to ballfields with “free” water
• Reduces stress on aquifer from irrigation demands • Keeps stormwater on the land – reduces runoff peaks
and volumes • Protects quality of Centerville Lake

Questions to be Answered
• Is the stormwater safe for use in a city park? • Will the stormwater kill turf grass due to high salinity? • Will the sprinkler system clog from sediment in the
stormwater? • What if the pond water for irrigation runs out? • What permit requirements need to be met?

Is the stormwater safe for use in a city
park?
• Water quality tests on pond water and sediment – fecal coliforms, heavy metals, PAHs, volatile organics, pH, chloride, Legionella – Results below MnDNR standards for swimmable waters
• Soil testing in ballfields to establish baselines – heavy metals, PAHs, volatile organics, pH, chloride – Results below Health Department guidelines
• Will continue to test periodically

Will the stormwater kill turf grass due to
high salinity?
• Chloride levels in pond water did not indicate problem • City will incorporate best management practices to
reduce risk – Sprinkling protocols – Fertilizer formulas

Will the sprinkler system clog from
sediment in the stormwater?
• Learned from practices in golf course industry • Pond and intake designed to minimize sediment in
irrigation system • Sprinkler heads selected based on performance under
these types of conditions

What if the pond water for irrigation runs
out?
• Pond designed with capacity for three weeks of operation with no rain
• City’s potable water system can be used to refill pond – without direct interconnection between potable water system and irrigation system

What permit requirements need to be met?
• MnDNR Water Appropriations permit was needed • Future permit requirements? TBD • At the same time, the project helped meet (and
exceed) RCWD requirements

Results and Conclusions
• System is fully operational and was successful throughout the summer
• At the very end of this year’s drought, the city did fill the pond with their water supply. However, the pond lasted longer than the estimated 3 weeks without rain.
• Volume used is to be monitored over a 3-year period for use in determining actual volume credits through RCWD
• Don’t be afraid to try something new

What is a Regional Approach?
Centralized treatment (not site by site) using the full spectrum of treatment options:
Active: - Irrigation - Flocculation* - Infiltration pipes
* Flocculation, in the field of chemistry, is a process wherein colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flakes by the addition of a clarifying agent.
Passive - Buffers - Sumps - Ponds

•Private (mostly)
•Delayed results
•Fragmented treatment
•Private (no?) maintenance

Regional vs. Site by Site Approach (continued)
Regional (centralized)
•Measurable results
•Wellheads protected
•Economy of scale
•Compatible land use
•Long-term planning
Site by site (piecemeal)
•Fragmented measurement
•Little control of wellheads
•Small-scale inefficiency
•Maybe incompatible land use
•Defies planning

• Not viable long-term water and septic solution
• 1950s – built centralized sewer system
• 1960s – built centralized water system
• 1970s – built all residential streets
• 1980s – retrofitted 100-year flood protection
• 2013 – build centralized surface water treatment

Taft/Legion Regional Partnership: Creativity & Leadership
• Technical
– Active and passive treatment methods
– Treating the lake itself, but not in-lake treatment
• Bureaucratic
– Regional concept
– Multi-agency: MAC, MnDOT, Hennepin County, MPCA, DNR
• Financial
– City sells bond, MCWD makes payments
– Spread costs over the life of the project
