2. The Board held a lengthy discussion on the present and future water supply
and distribution system. A letter the Board received from Glenn Cook, plus
explanations and answers to questions by Water Board members were of value.
It was the consensus of the Board that a budget of $1500.00 should be set for
additional testing of the water in Farmington. This is in excess of the
$15,000.00 cost of the Comprehensive Water System study already approved by the
Board.
3. The Board discussed a Water Availability Charge (WAC) for new residential
units. The Board agreed that a charge of $500.00 per new residential unit. The
Board received a memo from Engineer Kaldunski requesting a meeting be set to
work out a plan to submit to the City Council so that the necessary ordinances
and resolutions can be adopted.
4. When questioned as to when the Board would receive the water service analysis,
Glenn Cook and Dan Edgerton stated that they would begin work on the project in
January, 1988, with the expected completion date of April, 1988.
5. Engineer Kaldunski advised the Board that the contractor who painted the
inside of the water tower wanted to fulfill a portion of his warranty by inspecting
the painting. The Board agreed that the contractor should do the inspection
during November. No problems are foreseen, however, the contractor will have
equipment on site to repair any faulty areas immediately. Down time for the
water tower should be minimal.
6. Well No. 3 will be pulled for inspection, and repairs if necessary, by
Layne of Minnesota. Motion by Shirley, second by Juenemann to approve the
inspection and repair. APIF, motion carried.
