Wrenshall confronts water system needs after Well #1 pump denial
Summary
Council heard that the city’s application for a new pump at Well #1 was denied; staff will pursue options, collect quotes for a new fluoride tank and painting of wellhouse water lines, and await the video of south sewer line televising performed by contractor John Mikrot.
The Water Operator told the council that "the city’s application for a new pump at Well #1 was denied," and council members directed staff to explore alternative options. The minutes show the owner of the mobile home park contracted John Mikrot to jet the south sewer line; the city is waiting for the televising video to review infiltration-and-inflow issues.
Council asked staff to get quotes for a new fluoride tank and to obtain paint options for painting water lines in the wellhouses per Minnesota Department of Health recommendations. The minutes also note Task Order #8 (Funding Application/Administration) will be revised and reintroduced in August, which may relate to funding options for water projects.
No formal motion to fund a replacement pump or fluoride tank was recorded at this meeting; staff were directed to bring quotes and more information back to the council for future action.
