Discussion of Water Restrictions for Phase II of the Lake Lucy
Water Reservoir Renovation Project No. 00-02
City Council is recommended to approve the attached resolution setting sprinkling
restrictions for Phase II of the Lake Lucy Water Reservoir Renovation Project and
communicating the City's intention to strictly enforce these restrictions to the
Carver County Sheriff's Department and Court System.
Staff is asking that the restrictions be set now to allow adequate time for a public
education campaign.
Phase II of the Lake Lucy Water Reservoir Renovation Project is scheduled to
begin May 1, 2001 or as soon thereafter as weather allows. The project is
anticipated to be completed in four weeks.
The Lake Lucy Water Reservoir holds approximately 66% of the City's water
storage capacity. The storage system serves two (2) purposes in the City:
1. Provide pressure to the City water supply system.
2. Provide storage to allow the City to spread out peak demand.
Failure to implement sprinkling restrictions may result in water shortages during
the project.
