2008 - 2017 Capital Improvement Program

Project #8009, Empire Plant Service Area Capacity  

Description:

This project implements the recommendations of the Rosemount/Empire Master/Facility Plan  (REMP). This broad based planning effort recommended that the existing Empire Plant  be  expanded  from its current capacity of 12 mgd to 24 mgd. This will provide service to the existing  Empire Plant service area through the year 2030. The project also includes the construction of a  new outfall pipe  to allow the plant effluent to be discharged directly to the Mississippi River, through  Rosemount.

Impact on O&M Costs:

The project will increase systemwide O&M costs due to the expansion of the plant. However, the increase will be offset by the additional customers in the communities served by the plant.
