Minnesota may be a water-rich state, but protecting one of the state’s most valuable resources is a critical part of making local communities sustainable and resilient in the face of growing populations and a changing global climate. The idea of water reuse is especially salient for Rosemount because the city lies along a large pipeline that transports treated wastewater from the entire southeast metro area from a nearby municipal treatment plant to the Mississippi River, where it is discharged. The goal of this project was to investigate the feasibility of reusing storm water or treated effluent for irrigation, industrial applications, or other uses in the City of Rosemount. In collaboration with city project lead Andy Brotzler, Public Works Director for the City of Rosemount, four teams of students in PUBH 6132: Air, Water, and Health researched options for water reuse at both the community and household level and identified reasonable, cost-effective, and publicly acceptable reuse options for storm water or treated effluent, taking into account existing regulatory and other barriers. A combined final report and presentation from the project are available.ensustainabilitylocal governmentRosemountRosemount Projects, 2014-2015Presentation
