The city is undertaking improvements to the city water distribution system and will now assume ownership of the entire water main and hydrant serving the property. The easement provides a 10 foot wide area for the city use in maintaining the water main and allows existing county owned equipment and services to remain in place within the easement including utilities and signage. A permanent easement is necessary for continued use, operation, and maintenance of the water main by the city of Shoreview.
