57 TH AND LOGAN UPDATE - CONTINUED
The Council /EDA continued its discussion on the 57 and Logan update, noting private water
wells that could be at risk and asked whether the City had assured it received feedback from all
residents in the area or if there may be additional private water wells.
Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel advised of the exhaustive effort to contact
residents to identify private water wells in the area. He explained the MPCA has offered to test
those private wells to assure the water is safe to use; however, staff recommends that no shallow
point wells in the metropolitan area be used as a potable water source. It was noted that when
property is sold, a municipal water source will be required. Mr. Eitel stated that all properties
within the area of the plume are connected to the municipal water supply and two homes outside
the plume area use a private water source.
The Council discussed whether all residents in this area would understand the MPCA flyers.
Mayor Willson noted that when the plume was first publicized, a neighborhood meeting had
been held and residents asked if it would affect their water supply. At that time, an educational
component was also provided.
City Manager Curt Boganey noted that over the years of this project, a lot of notices had been
sent and staff had knocked on doors to inform residents. Mr. Boganey indicated that he believed
due diligence has occurred to notify residents. The Council /EDA concurred.
Mayor /President Willson stated residents are wondering when 57 and Logan Avenues will be
redeveloped. Mr. Eitel stated the area will be redeveloped next spring.
