Jane Byron, Stormwater Specialist ATTACHMENTS: Commercial Audit Report, Utility Billing APPROVED BY: BLEInsert RECOMMENDED ACTION: None Quarterly WaterEfficiency RebateUpdate: The City ofRosemount was awarded a Water Efficiency Grant from the Metropolitan Council (MCES) in the amount of $11,300. The city is required to match $3,770 and that has been funded from the Water Fund. As part ofthis program, the following rebate amounts are allowed: 50 for Water Sense Toilets 150 for Energy Star Washers 150 for Water Sense Irrigation Controllers 200 for Irrigation system audits Table 1 provides a summary of the entire rebate program activity, along with the city-funded rebate programs that were inplace prior tothe MCES Water Efficiency Grant inJanuary 2020.

Water Efficiency and Stormwater Rebate Update.docx Quarterly Stormwater RebateUpdate: In May of 2019, the Utility Commission recommended City Council adopt a rebate program for residents to install projects on their property to improve stormwater quality and reduce runoff volume. In March 2020, City Council approved the Stormwater Rebate Policy and established a maximum amount of $5,000 for 2020. Table 2 provides a summary of the entire rebate program activity. Table 2 2020 Total Rebate $0 Rain Barrels: $0 Cisterns & Rainwater Harvesting: $0 Raingardens: $0 Native Plantings: $0 Buffers: $0 Stormwater Reuse: $0 Permeable Pavers & Pavements $0 Please note, only one application has been received for this program. The project was not approved because itwas located in an easement next toa storm drain. However, further investigation shows that four residents are taking advantage of the SWCD Landscaping for Clean Water $250 installation grant. Landscaping for Clean Water grant recipients are provided with information on the Rosemount Stormwater Rebate. It appears as though residents are taking advantage of other complementary programs in 2020. Advertisement ofthe program was included in the utility insert that isgoing out with the Jan-March billing. The Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) Landscaping for Clean Water Program (LFCW) is advertised in the utility insert. This is an education and grant program offered bythe SWCD that informs residents on stormwater quality issues and projects, such as raingardens, that are also eligible for funding under the stormwater rebate. Information on the Rosemount Stormwater Rebate is included in the LFCW workshop materials. Staff will continue topublicize these programs via social media, city newsletters, staff updates and additional methods. 2 Commercial Site Assessment™ Tier II Prepared for: Claret Springs 15115 Cimarron Court Lakeville, MN 55068 2020 Season Proud Partner of 763.434.5414 twincities@conservairrigation.com conservairrigation.com Claret Springs 1 | P a g e Commercial Site Assessment™ Date of Tier I CSA: July 31st, 2020 Certified Technician: Garret Peterson, CLIA, CIT Date of Tier II CSA: July 31th, 2020 Certified Technician: Garret Peterson, CLIA, CIT Irrigated Acres: 5.46 Irrigated 2 : 237,718 Claret Springs 2 | P a g e Audit System Observations Irrigation system controller is a Hunter I-Core 30 zone max with 21 zones currently utilized. Program A: Starts 10:00pm (stacked 3 times), even days, omitting Thursdays, including Zones – 1-11&18. Program B: Starts 10:00pm (stacked 3 times), odd days, omitting Thursdays, including zones 12-21. Zone 18 running on even and odd days. Cycle soak style of running setup for 3 cycles as noted by “stacking” 10:00pm start time. Controller has a wired HunterTM weather-based Sensor called Solar SyncTM. Controllers with Solar Sync receive weather data daily and adjust runtimes based on that and the regional July Evapotranspiration data. This makes the I-Core a Smart controller geared towards water savings. Almost all rotors in all zones had a 2.0 nozzle installed. Nozzles of rotors should change depending on area of coverage. For example, if a head covers 90° the nozzle will be a 1.0, a head covering 180° is a 2.0 nozzle, 270° head should be a 3.0, and so on. If all nozzles are the same and the heads turn at a fixed rate, then areas covered by a 90° head will get more water and those covered by a 360° head will get too little. Unfortunately, the “wrong nozzle sizing” heads will have to be completely new rotors since the model of rotor is older and the correct nozzles are no longer possible to acquire. There are also zones that have poor coverage/spacing. Spray zones along the boulevards are over spraying onto the road to make up for poor spacing and single line uniformity. An opposing zone and swapping nozzles on existing zones would provide better, more even, and efficient coverage. Zone 5 is a rotor zone that covers a turf island adjacent to parking spaces. The amount of water wasted on overspray to keep the small island turf watered is significant. I recommend reducing turf and changing to rotary nozzle sprays or eliminating turf on the island. There were some zones that could also use heads moved out of wooded areas, or to better spots for coverage. Lastly, there were many rotors that needed to have their position in the ground adjusted for proper coverage, ex. crooked, too low, too high, etc. Microclimates are mostly sun versus shade on this property. Sunny areas, especially by asphalt or other heat radiation need much more water than shady areas like under trees. This is not accounted for on this site for run times and/or design of zones. The easiest solution is to reduce nozzle size in shaded areas, and possibly increase in sunny areas.

Director of Public Works AGENDA NO. 7.a. City Engineer ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY: BLE RECOMMENDED ACTION: None, informational only BACKGROUND As part of the City of Rosemount’s water conservation efforts, City Council has, over the last several years, provided an incentive to home owners to install smart irrigation controllers. In some cases, this incentive was partially funded by the Metropolitan Council with a city fund match. Additional details were provided inItem 6.a. This evening a representative from Rachio, a provider of smart irrigation controllers, will be providing some additional information for the Commission. Areview of the irrigation controller rebates issued for 2020 show that a large majority of those were Rachio. C:\\Users\\jab\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\7.a. Smart Irrigation Controllers_632164\\7.a. Smart Irrigation Controllers.docx EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Utility Commission Meeting: January 25, 2021 AGENDA SECTION: AGENDA ITEM: Stormwater Pond Maintenance Project New Business PREPARED BY: Brian Erickson, P.E. Director of Public Works AGENDA NO. 7.b. City Engineer ATTACHMENTS: Project Plan Cover Sheet APPROVED BY: BLE RECOMMENDED ACTION: None, informational only BACKGROUND Per the NPDES MS4 General Permit administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the City is required to inspect every stormwater pond and outfall at least once per permit term and develop a method to assess the effectiveness of all stormwater ponds for preventing/capturing pollution. Inspections performed in 2015 and subsequent modeling indicated that pond 1935 (Broback Industrial Park) and pond 0589 (Dawson CT) were operating at alow efficiency and maintenance was recommended. This project will excavate approximately 1640 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from pond 1935 and 1,285 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from pond 0589. An additional 520 cubic yards of soil will be removed from upland areas of pond 1935 to reduce slope steepness as asafety precaution for equipment, such as mowers, that accesses the site regularly for maintenance. Approximately, 1,985 cubic yards of the sediment being removed have contaminant levels that require special disposal (e.g. not for use as fill in residential areas or disposal at a landfill). Phosphorus removal efficiency is expected toimprove by 12% in pond 0589 and by 29% in pond 1935. Suspended solids removal is expected toimprove by 15% in pond 0589 and by 43% in pond 1935. Additional benefits of the project include removal of voluntary trees for better inspection and maintenance access and increased flood storage capacity. The project was awarded by City Council on December 1, 2020 to Nadeau Companies in the amount of 136,409.40 which was approximately $78,000 below the Engineer’sEstimate. This project will be funded using the Storm Water Utility, and the engineer’sestimate of probable project cost was $214,250.00. The contractor will begin work in late January 2021 and anticipates being completed by February 2021. Final restoration will be performed in the spring. This project isthe first inan anticipated annual program. C:\\Users\\jab\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\7.b. Stormwater Pond Maintenance_632165\\7.b.

Director of Public Works AGENDA NO. 8.c. City Engineer ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY: BLE RECOMMENDED ACTION: None, informational only BACKGROUND Utility Commissioners requested that staff provide updates on the following items for meetings going forward. METCouncil WellAssessment – Staff will be reviewing this information over the winter toestablish the need for expanding the current well system. Currently, the consultant from the Comprehensive Water Plan is updating a ‘trigger’ chart which will indicate the proper timing for adding wells and/or towers to the system. SmartMeterUpdate – Staff has been incontact with one neighboring community to discuss their experiences with moving toa ‘smart meter’ program. Approximately 90% of the meters have been changed and one of the benefits at this point is a knowledge of leaks in the system downstream of the meter which allowed the property owner to be alerted to make repairs. In addition, the new technology eliminates moving parts on the meters. As time permits, staff will work to establish a meter replacement program that updates existing meters to smart meters. Staff is also received quotes for removing the irrigation meter currently installed in single family homes. Final planning and potential start of this project will happen inthe upcoming months with a goal ofa start date in early spring. WaterUsagefor2020 – As provided separately (Item 8b.), the annual pumping for all municipal wells has been compiled. Staff will provide an update on the highest usages at the February 2021 meeting. In addition, the water usage for city facilities will be provided as well. TourofaWaterTower – Postponed until spring of 2021 at the earliest. FiveYearPondMaintenance Plan – Maintenance plan will be presented tothe Commission at future meeting as a separate agenda item. Water/Stormwater Rebate Update (quarterly) – Update provided separately at the January 25, 2021 meeting. Next update will be at the March 2021 meeting. C:\\Users\\jab\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8.c.
