Residents ask board to require capping of two long-standing private wells
Loading...
Summary
A resident asked the board to cap two long-standing wells with existing access (one on 30th Street, one on 23rd) and asked whether the utility has authority to enforce capping when properties change hands.
During public comment a resident (S6) asked the board to cap two long-standing private wells that have long-standing access and suggested now is an opportune time because one of the houses is for sale.
S6 said there are two locations with existing access and urged the utility to "cap those off," noting one house is currently for sale and another well is located on 23rd. A board member asked for the address and S2 asked for specifics to determine whether the utility has enforcement authority; S2 said the utility could enforce requirements if within its code or policy, but no formal enforcement action or legal citation was recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: uncapped or legacy wells can pose public-health or safety risks; the resident requested board action but the transcript records only the request and a follow-up request for addresses so staff can investigate.
