Pursuant to Minnesota Rule 4720.5130, the City of Rosemount is required to prepare and submit
a Well Head Protection Plan (WHPP) to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for all
wells in the public water supply system. A WHPP is a tool used by a municipal water supplier to
protect and safeguard the public water supply wells by preventing contaminants from entering the
area that contributes water to the well or well field over a period of time. The requirements of
the program were developed in recognition of the amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act
and the Minnesota Groundwater Protection Act. City staff has been working to develop a plan
for the City of Rosemount's water supply system, and is now prepared to submit the plan for
final approval.
Pursuant to Minnesota Rule 4720.5350, a public water supplier must conduct a public hearing on
the Well Head Protection Plan before submitting the plan to the MDH. To suffice for the final
requirements associated with the Well Head Program, Staff is recommending that the City
Council make a motion to set a public hearing on February 17, 2004 to introduce the Plan to the
public and allow for public comment.
