Municipal community public water system purchasing all source water from neighbor(s) 6. Neighbor provides municipal community public water system and source 7. Jointly-owned municipal community public water supply system purchasing all source water from neighbor(s) 8. Planning for independent municipal community public water system This dataset also defines the source(s) of water supplying the community as groundwater, surface water, or both.The purpose is to provide information about water supply systems to inform community planning. This information is also used by the Metropolitan Council to organize water supply related content for System Statements and the Minimum Requirements checklist in the Local Planning Handbook. The 2005 Minnesota Legislature directed the Metropolitan Council to "carry out planning activities addressing the water supply needs of the metropolitan area" (Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.1565). Specifically the Council is charged with developing a base of technical information for water supply planning decisions and to prepare a metropolitan area master water supply plan. This dataset supports this charge. Data is based upon Minnesota Department of Health data, local water supply plans, and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources permit data.Filesus-mn-state-metc-water-cmty-water-supply-systemengPublicCommunity Water Supply System Types and Sources [Minnesota]DatasetsMinnesota--Anoka CountyMinnesota--Carver CountyMinnesota--Dakota CountyMinnesota--Hennepin CountyMinnesota--Ramsey CountyMinnesota--Scott CountyMinnesota--Washington CountyMinnesota--Twin Cities Metropolitan AreaMinnesotaMinnesota Geospatial Commons
