REVIEWED/ RECOINIME. <br />concerning connecticns to the City water supply system <br />Since the original construction work began on the City's water supply sysbmn, <br />the City has had the long range plan of having a system. that would supply water <br />to the entire community,, The sizing of the punps, =�, tank, etc. has all <br />been predicated on this overall assuq�tion. Due to the fact that many property <br />c%mers already had a private well system that was in good working order and <br />adeqiate to meet the. near tem needs of the cwnerp, however,, resulted in the City <br />allcwing these propqrty,,qqpe�s .�p, c7�t�Avq #e:, -use, of their wells <br />-I# % <br />Vi?bonmat 4 dto <br />U <br />water.

Tp�o.r <br />While the City has not requested or forced anyone to abandon a well, we have <br />4 <br />req=ed all new construction to use the City facility rather t�an dig a new <br />well. Sim'larly, we have followed a policy of allaw:'Lng property awners to nmintain <br />their existing wells <br />', but have not allcwed new wells to be constructed to replace the <br />old ones. The mly exception to this has been if the individual has a physical <br />corx1ition wh3-ch can be demonstrated to be inconvatible w1th the City water supply <br />due to reactim tothe chemical treatment involved. <br />RecomTended Council Action: Mot-ion instructing the City Attorney to <br />prepare an amendment to Section 66 of the <br />City Code concerning the construction of <br />wells when City water facilities a avaJ_lable. <br />
