Save Water, Save Energy, Save Money!
The 2000 gallon usage and tiered rate structure have changed. The biggest change noticed by those who received recent water and sewer bill was the amount the bill increased compared to previous months. In an effort to help residents reduce usage and the amount charged on that usage, The City of Belle Plaine Utilities Department would like to direct you to a helpful website sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The link is http://www.epa.gov/watersense. The website explains many ways you can conserve water inside and outside of your home, calculate your water savings, water sense for kids, and much more. Did you know common types of leaks found throughout the home include the dripping faucet that keeps you awake at night, leaking valves and toilet flappers? These can be easily fixed and save you ten percent on your water bills.
Hopefully you find this website helpful in your efforts to conserve water, find and stop leaks around your home and save money, too. Any time you have questions or concerns about your water bill or meter please feel free to call the public works utilities department at 952-873-4644.
Belle Plaine Water Treatment Facility
In 2007 the City of Belle Plaine engaged the services of Bolton & Menk, Inc. to study and design a new water treatment facility to meet existing needs, accommodate future growth, and meet drinking water quality standards to provide a safe drinking water supply to the residents of Belle Plaine.
The treatment facility has been designed to remove iron and manganese from the raw water as well as chlorinate and fluoridate the water to enhance public health. Future advanced treatment can be accomplished by adding reverse osmosis membrane filters to the facility.
For additional information about the Belle Plaine Water Treatment Facility, please read the attached handout.
