June 23, 2003 Farmington City Hall 325 Oak St. Farmington, MN 55024 Attn: Water Board To Whom It May Concern: D @@@[rw~ 8M! On Saturday, June 21,2003, my husband and I were at our daughter's house, 18892 Eaglewood Trail, Farmington, babysitting our grandson for the weekend. Our daughter and her husband were out of town and we noticed that their lawn seemed awfully dry so we put the sprinkler on in the front yard. Around 1 :35 pm, a person by the name of Wendy came to the door and handed me a water use restriction violation. I explained to her that my daughter was not home, that we live in Stillwater and have a private well, and had no idea about watering restrictions in the area. I apologized and asked if she could rescind the citation, but she said she could not do that and told me to write a letter explaining the circumstances. We did not intentionally violate the water use restrictions nor did my daughter and her husband (Rachel and Andrew Benish). I am attaching a copy of the citation and asking that under these circumstances it be waived. Now that we know the restrictions we will adhere to them when we are at their home. Please let us know your decision on this. Since I travel for my job, email is usually the fastest way to reach me. Thank you. Sincerely, . <1\~~ Kathy Nelson 10150 Oakgreen Ave. N.

City of Farmington Water Board 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Date: 6-27-03 Dear Board, I was issued a water use restriction citation on June 18th for watering during the cities watering ban. I was watering freshly laid sod in the front of my, house on a hot afternoon. I remembered watering sod during to ban was allowed, but forgot that I needed a daily watering permit. I would ask that this citation be considered a warning and that if in the future I need to water new sod during the ban I will obtain the proper permit from the city office. Thank you for your time and your response to my request.

When last Saturday I had my sprinkler going on in the front lawn were the grass was browning and dying, under my visual supervision as I weed wacked my lawn when a lady approached me in a red truck with a citation for watering my grass on the wrong day or hour I asked her if she was kidding it was shocking and embarrassing I have never heard such a thing except for years ago during a drout. A city watering ban seems absurd when you pay for water during a fairly wet season it seem like a way to ticket people and give some one a city job! If I was to fill a pool with hundreds of gallons or water my lawn with less were is the conservation? If I run my water in my hand for hours and use hundreds of gallons or turn my sprinkler on for one hour or less weres the conservation. If theres a price for water and we ran low the city would import and or buy more and sell it right back to us. This water ban ect. Should be revised and or removed its contradicting and wrong. Ive lived in Inver Grove and South St Paul and other surrounding cities and they were not participating in this program as far as I was aware. When living in an association there are enough rules to last a life time so its hard to keep track of city rules laws and the associations, I would spend more time looking at the clock and calendar then doing any thing else. The association wants lawns mowed on Thursdays witch .witched from Wednesdays then there are watering days and hours odd even from this time to that time ect. When there are people that do not work 9-5 jobs and work night and or weekends or different shifts such watering bans cause problems for others it needs to be more flexible. Not to mention my two young children would not be able to run thru the sprinkler on certain hot summer days during certain hours, watering and playing kill two birds with one sprinkle.

To Whom It May Concern: We are new residents to Farmington and we wish to contest the citation we received for water usage during a restricted time. We were unaware of the policy that Farmington uses for regulation. We were told by our neighbors that we were only allowed to water on odd days but he neglected to tell us that there was also a time restriction. We :were told by the woman that issued the citation that we should have received a welcome packet from the city of Farmington, but we did not. We have received one now that I called the city to request one. We have no issues with abiding by the rules and surely will but we just want to express that we were unaware of the policy. When I called, I was told that I should attend the administrative hearing before the Farmington Water Board in order to discuss this but I will not be able to attend, nor will my husband. I am eight months pregnant with twins and I am on bed rest, and my husband works that evening. Please consider removing this fee even though we cannot make a personal appearance to discuss this issue. Thank you, Christal Liberatore 18841 Easton Ave Farmington, MN 55024 651-460-6078 . .

We acknowledge to have operated contrary to the policy. However I do have a question. In at least two occasions we have been cited at the same time for adjoining units, in the same development block on the same watering system. Since these units are linked I do not believe it is fair to be cited for what is for all intents and purposes on system operating in violation. I would appreciate it if our concerns could be brought before the Water Board for its consideration.

Grayslake, IL Website: www.bonestroo.com Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates Engineers & Architects MEMORANDUM, DATE: July 22, 2003 TO: Farmington Water Board, Lee Mann FROM: Mark R. Rolfs SUBJECT: Farmington Water System Bonestroo No. 141-99-101 Due to the rapid growth that the City of Farmington has experienced the last couple of years, the Farmington Water Board questioned whether it was time to update the 1996 Water Supply and Distribution Plan. It was decided that the best way to answer this question was to evaluate the projections contained in the 1996 plan. The purpose ofthis memo is to compare the actual water use and population versus the projected water use and population contained in the 1996 Water Supply and Distribution Plan and then to recommend whether or not the Water Supply and Distribution Plan needs to be updated at this time. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the assumptions made in the 1996 Water Supply and Distribution Plan, three major elements ofthat plan were compared to recent historical data. These elements include the average annual water use, the maximum day water use, and the population. These three elements are the most important factors in the establishment of the supply, storage, and distribution facilities needed to adequately convey water throughout the City. These three comparisons are shown graphically as Figures 1,2, and 3 respectively. The conclusion of comparing these three factors is that the 1996 Water Supply and Distribution Plan is still doing a reasonable job of estimating the water facilities needed in the City of Farmington. This said, their needs to be an annual mechanism in place to more closely monitor the development within the City of Farmington. As shown on Figure 1, the average annual use has been pretty well predicted by the data in the 1996 plan. If anything, the actual use has been slightly less than the predicted use. The maximum day water demand shown on Figure 2 is similar, but as is generally the case, maximum day use has been a little more erratic in behavior since it is heavily influenced by the weather. In general, the maximum day demand has also been at or less then that predicted by the 1996 plan. Probably the most significant data that was reviewed is the last two years of population growth. Figure 3 shows 2335 West Highway 36. Sf. Paul, MN 55113. 651-636-4600. Fax: 651-636-1311 '. the projected population versus the actual population from 1996 to 2002. For the years 1996 to . 2000, the projections are very accurate. However, the last two years of data for population far exceed the projections made during the 1996 report. At this time, it is unknown whether the future growth will keep at this accelerated pace, or flatten back to a slope closer to that predicted in the 1996 plan. The most important component of the Water Supply and Distribution Plan is the computer model that analyzes all ofthe flow patterns within the distribution system. This model is the most important component because it sizes the trunk watermains within the distribution system. If the trunk watermains are sized incorrectly, then it is very expensive to either operate at an undesirable condition or to parallel existing mains once the roads are in place. The most important factor on the comprehensive water system model is the ultimate water use within that distribution system. The key element influencing the ultimate water use in the distribution model is the ultimate system population. Therefore, until an alternative ultimate system population is formed, or an alternative Study Area is defined, the benefits of a complete new water supply and distribution plan are lessened. The population jump that has occurred over the last two years needs to be carefully monitored, but at this time the water use has been reasonably consistent with the projected values. Therefore, it appears that any required changes could be accomplished by a change in timing of needed facilities. If it becomes clear that this recent accelerated growth is leading to a larger ultimate population than used in the 1996 report, then the corresponding change in the ultimate water use demand will have a much larger impact on the supply, storage and distribution system as a whole, and a new Water Supply and Distribution Plan will be needed. . For the reasons outlined above, it is not recommended that a new water supply and distribution plan be undertaken at this time. However, the following recommendations are made: · The Farmington Water Board adopt a policy of formally reviewing the average demand, the maximum day demand, and the estimated population each February from the data for the preceding year. This data should be compared against the projected data for that year from the 1996 report. · The Farmington Water Board authorize the preparation of a small report that would prepare several alternative 5-year capital improvement programs based on different mock population projections. This would alleviate the problem of having to formerly produce an official population projection that is different than other populations that the City of Farmington is publishing. This would be simply used as an analysis tool to help decide which facilities are more imminent based upon different possible population growth patterns. · As the time gets closer for the next water storage facility in the City of Farmington, as part of the feasibility report for that storage facility, that the Farmington Water Board authorize the preparation and analysis of an interim water distribution model that would evaluate the piping and flow patterns for the storage reservoir at the time that it goes into service. With these three steps, it is felt that the preparation of a full water supply and distribution plan can be postponed several years, unless the annual review of growth and water use reveals a more long term change in the ultimate population. .

Currently, we are having difficulties watering our sod because of the way our watering zones are setup with the building addresses. The easiest way to split-up the watering is to water the sod on the south side of 200th street on even days and water the north side on odd days. If you feel there would be a better way to break up the site please let me know. Please call me at 651-460-4338 with any questions or changes.

Odd/Even Watering Policy in Farmington In order to ensure adequate water pressure in times of peak usage, the City of Farmington has a year round Odd/Even Watering Policy. In addition to the odd/even policy, no watering is allowed between 12 noon and 6pm. Tips for Earth Friendly Lawn & Yard Care.... · Don't allow sprinklers to run unattended. Use a timer as a reminder when it's time to move or turn off the sprinkler. · Morning is the best time to water most lawns. Before 10 AM is best because rising heat later on tends to steal a lot of water by evaporation. Another benefit is that grass and leaves have a chance to dry off quickly. Evening or night time waterings leave the grass wet and can allow lawn diseases to develop. · A lush green lawn requires 1 to 1-1/2 inches of water a week. Water three times a week applying about 1/2 inch at a time. Keep in mind the amount of rainfall that might fall on your yard and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. . Avoid watering when windy or in the heat of the day. · Lawns that are frequently aerated absorb water better. Mulch shrubs and other plantings so the soil holds moisture longer. · Forget about watering streets, walks and driveways. They don't grow a thing. · If you let your grass grow to about 1-1/2 to 2 inches in the summer, water loss will be reduced because the blades will provide shade for the roots. '. · High nitrogen fertilizers stimulate lawn growth and increase water requirements. Most established lawns only need fertilizing in the fall when the primary grass root growth occurs with the cool temperatures. The only water we will ever have is what we have right now.

From: Lena Larson Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 2:28 PM To: Lee Mann Subject: estimates for the Water Board Hi Lee, I've gotten rough quotes for the security lighting and a gate around Daisy Knoll tower. Kelly Electric gave me an estimate of $3,000 after meeting with Bill and determining that 3 lights strategically located around the tower should be sufficient. This cost would not include welding required to weld brackets to the tower. Midwest Fence said barrier gates can range from $700 to $1800 installed, depending on what kind of gate is decided on. I haven't received any literature from him as of yet. Please let me know if you have any questions. Lena Larson Public Works Administrative Assistant phone 651-463-1622 ]0 I I I I I . . 07/28/2003
