RE: Rural Water System - July 30th Meeting
On July 30th the University of Minnesota presented, through their
consultants, 'information on a proposed "rural water system" for the -
areas of east Rosemount with contaminated wells. This presentation was
for the benefit of the residents with contaminated wells who were all
invited to this meeting. Mayor Knutson, Vern Napper and 1 were in
attendance.
Gordon Kraus, of DeWild, Grant, Richest & Associates, the consulting
firm hired to conduct the feasibility study and design of such a system,
presented information on (1) alternate sources of the water; (2)
alternates on ownership and operation of the system; (3) system design
considerations; and (4) construction timetables.
The question was then put to the residents whether the University should
continue the study on the rural water system as a viable alternative to
supply those residents with ,potable water.
Following a'lengthy discussion on the proposal by residents, the hand
vote was unanimous among the residents present, being 15 of 27 with
contaminated wells.
The consultant will complete a preliminary design with cost estimates
now and advised me after the meeting that they will present this
information to the city prior to the September 1st Council meeting.
