Obon Mr. Richard Benson City of Orono B.ox 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 � � Re: Orono School - k'ater Supply Our File �t13906 Dear Dick: The water supply in the Orono school, Long Lake area is marginal and the City of 1,ong Lake has prepared a preliminary engineering report for upgrading the sys- tem. The City of Long Lake has notified the City of Orono that water supply will be terminated in �981in the event a new joint powers agreement is not developed. The water supply system is presently adequate for domestic use but only mini- mal fire protection is available. There are water pressure problems in the system during the periods of high domestic use but these are �minimal and it would appear, could be solved by controlling sprinkling during high peak water use periods. The major problem is providing an adequate water system for fire protection in the area. The City of Long Lake preliminary engineering report provides for a water system which would jointly serve the Orono school area and the City of Long Lake. The upgrading of t�e Long Lake system by construction of a new elevated tank and additional strengthening of the Long Lake distribution system is estimated to cost $424,300.00. The improvements would result in a rate in- crease of $.60/1000 gallons based on eight percent interest and a twenty year repayment period. The City of Orono is presently reviewing a water rate in- crease to $0.71/1000 gallons and with the new improvements ttlis water rate would be $1.31/1000 gallons. The development of an independent water system in the City of Orono to ade- quately provide for normal domestic use and fire protection would require con- struction of an elevated water reservoir well and pumphouse. The estimated cost of our independent water system in the City of Orono is $455,400 which would result in a water rate of $4.03/1000 gallons plus no�al operation and main- • tenance costs. Page 1.
