Community Faces Growth and Aging Infrastructure
The City of Robbinsdale is an inner ring suburb of the Minneapolis Metropolitan area with about 14,000 residents and provides an average of 2 MGD of potable water to the community.
Robbinsdale, MN became fully developed in the 1970s and was experiencing redevelopment and pressure to add additional density in various locations throughout the City.
In the late 1960s the City had constructed three regional water treatment plants to provide iron and manganese filtration, and those facilities had served them well for a very long time.
Unfortunately, these facilities were nearing the end of their useful life, and Robbinsdale was faced with significant infrastructure challenges to replace these water treatment plants.
Investing in the Future
Following a feasibility study and council engagement, it was determined that Robbinsdale would make a significant investment in its water system. In addition to the treatment plant replacement, Robbinsdale elected to replace two existing wells, connect all of its wells to one central treatment plant, and build a new water tower.
The City Council decided to proceed forward with a new centralized lime softening water treatment plant in order to improve the quality of the water they were providing to residents and businesses
