SUBJECT: Water Tower Reconditioning
DATE: June 24, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The City awarded a construction contract to Classic Protective Coatings in November to
reconditioning of the water tower at the municipal center. Work has been progressing and this
memo provides a summary of the work completed over the last month.
DISCUSSION
The contractor started the steel repair work on April 16th. The contractors schedule was slightly
delayed due to mobilizing the containment structure and crews from a previous job. Work on
containment system setup was completed on May 17th with sandblasting and priming starting
on May 20th. The contractor has completed the sandblasting, priming, and first intermediate
coat. An additional intermediate coat will be applied before the finish coats. Coating work is
anticipated through June. Once the coatings are completed the tower will be disinfected,
flushed, refilled, and the water tested before being placed back in service. The schedule below
details project schedule milestones.

SUBJECT: Well No. 9 / Wellhouse 8 Improvements Update
DATE: June 19, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The City awarded contracts to Barr Engineering in May 2018 to provide design services for Well
No. 9 (Phase I); to Traut Companies in October 2018 for the construction of Well No. 9 (Phase
2); and to Magney Construction for improvements at Wellhouse 8 (Phase 3) in February 2019.
This memo provides a summary of the work completed over the last two months.
DISCUSSION
In late March, Traut Companies completed development of Well 9 and removed 775 cubic
yards of fill from the bottom of the well. On April 1st and 2nd, Traut performed test pumping of
Well 9 to determine production capacity of the new well. Groundwater levels in existing wells
were monitored during the test pumping and minimal interference was seen. Well 9 produced
2,000 gallons per minute for the entire 24 hour test with stable drawdown and only traces of
sand accumulation.
At Well 9, concrete pads have been set for the electric transformer and control panels, the
driveway has been paved, and the SCADA antenna mast has been installed. Dakota Electric
installed an electrical service line to the site from 195th Street.
At Wellhouse 8, the floor has been poured and walls painted in the building addition. Magney
installed a new raw watermain from 200th Street to the wellhouse and has upgraded the
finished watermain from the wellhouse to 200th Street.
City staff will meet with Howard Glad, Charleswood resident and representative of the
Charleswood HOA Board, to discuss their interest in purchasing the City owned lot and the City
acquiring the Well 8 site. Staff will have additional information for discussion at the July Water
Board meeting.

SUBJECT: Water Conservation Programs
DATE: July 19, 2018
INTRODUCTION
Farmington received a Source Water Protection Grant from the Minnesota Department of
Health. The grant is aimed to protect the city’s water supply and promote water conservation
by implementing smart watering and irrigation practices by providing an incentive to upgrade
outdated irrigation controllers.
DISCUSSION
During the summer months’ water consumption spikes, a majority of this water is used
for irrigation of lawns. Improper use of irrigation systems and over watering are common
problems that leads to water being wasted.
The grant funding will come to a close at the end of June. The program to date has helped 23
residents obtain an EPA WaterSense approved smart irrigation controller. The total amount
refunded as part of the grant is $3,321.98.
There was $7,000 available for the program. The city will look at applying for this funding again
in the future if it appears there is a need. At this time it doesn’t appear that there is a need to
continue funding this program.
BUDGET IMPACT
$2,000 from water education plan will be used as a local match for the $5,000 grant provided
by the Department of Health.
