Asleson Gentlemen: The Rosemount Utilities Commission has reviewed the above referenced report prepared by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates and desires that the inter- connection be made as proposed in the Diamond Path 2nd Addition alternate: iAlthough this alternate is slightly more expensive, the Commission feels that the advantages offset the increased cost. The advantages are as follows: 1) No easements required. 2) Connection is between two looped 8 inch watermains instead of one dead end 6 inch watermain (Rosemount) and one dead end 8 inch watermain (Apple Valley) providing better water circulation and flow. Should this alternate be acceptable, please contact the City of Rosemount so that the details of the joint powers agreement can be discussed. Sincerely, Thomas F.
