Wholesome Health <br />A follow-up letter was sent, requesting a response to earlier notices regarding the need <br />for a sign permit. <br />STORMWATER/WETLAND <br />Centerville/Peltier Lake TMDL <br />The TMDLs for these lakes were completed 15+ years ago and have never had the final <br />step of an Implementation Plan completed and approved by the MPCA. This final step is <br />now in progress and should unlock important funding for projects that actually work to <br />reduce the pollutants identified in the TMDL study. Staff is working with Rice Creek <br />Watershed District Staff on the logistics of this process. <br />SEWER AND WATER <br />Water Service Break <br />Early in the morning on March 4, after an overnight low of around -15 degrees, our <br />rd <br />police noticed water running down the street near 73 Street and Old Mill Road. Our <br />public works department reviewed the situation and got our emergency contractor on site. <br />By 10 AM, they were excavating with a vacuum truck around the gas lines and by 1 PM <br />were digging with a backhoe. <br />The break was on the service line, on the city <br />repaired and the resident was back to having water by around 3 PM. During the shut- <br />down, we were able to isolate the area, such that only one fire hydrant and a handful of <br />residents were out of service. <br />With as cold as this winter has been, we have been fortunate to not have more of these. <br />Many cities have had a rough year when it comes to water main breaks. The investments <br />paid off in a reliable water system. <br />Wellhead Protection Plan <br />A public input meeting has been scheduled for March 27, at our regular City Council <br />meeting, to review the results of the amended Part 1 Wellhead Protection Plan. This <br />meeting will be noticed in the paper among other outlets. <br />Downtown Water Main and Street Reconstruction <br />City staff recently met with representatives from the County regarding our Community <br />Development Block Grant application. They have asked us to resubmit our application <br />with some small changes. We have reason to believe we will be successful with our <br />application and that we will be able to provide financial relief to income-qualified <br />residents in the downtown area for a water and street reconstruction project. <br />PUBLIC WORKS/STREETS <br />Snow Removal <br /> <br />
