1.61 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Bonestroo 'w"de now have it. Last Fall some of them dried up in Roseville, <br /> and, this su~?~ar, in Falcon Heights. 13 dried up in a year. <br /> °~ost of the yells in this area are relatively shallow - not <br /> over 100'. <br /> How much deeper would they have to go to get into the next strata? <br />Bonestroo Platville is next. F. H. A. a.nc] the Department of Health frown <br /> on sinking yells into the Platville because of contamination. <br /> It became quite an issue in ti;hite Bear Township. Udell drillers <br /> foizh.d'they could get water there and the plumbers put in septic <br /> tanks and dry wells on top of this and the sewage was circulating <br /> pretty fast. Nobody died, but this is the type of thing we are <br /> quite concerned with. <br />~ How far does contamination travel? <br />Bonestroo They find they can trace a dye 7 or 8 miles. It isn't considered <br /> safe. If you were smart, you would want to push down through <br /> the Platville to the St. Peter and there isn't much ~r.~ater there. <br /> Community wells are down in the Jordon about 500'. You would <br /> have to go through about 15' of rock to reach the St. Peter and <br /> this costs money. <br />B. N. Henrick- '"_y well at 1887 Arona is going dry. b"ie would like to know <br />son vrhen mains would be available throug~iout this area. <br />Nilsen It seems like we are going to have a repetition of these problems. <br /> b`Te have already had four or five and the question is are we going <br /> to continue to spend four or five hundred dollars here and there <br /> on wells. St. Paul has problems and even if we don't have much <br /> pressure, we can still have water. <br />Utecht If the Council votes to oroceed, you can have water in 6 to 8 <br /> weeks. <br />?~?rs. Hendrix, 'sue can't run the tivater more than half an hour before we run out of <br />1897 Holton water. I am all for watermains. 1`ie think our well is about 120'. <br />Vde have had several well men and. they suggest we dig a new well <br />in the front yard. <br />Art Newman ~dhen you speak about the Highland area, I am thoroughly familiar <br />with that and I know what the restrictions are. If I were to <br />invest in watermains, I would-like to know whether the same <br />restrictions would apply. <br />015en ?rie have the same restrictions. <br />?Jewman It seems to me that they are a little premature when they allow <br />people to connect when they can't take care of what they already <br />have. <br />Utecht They ran into three dry su~^mers. You can use your well for <br />sprinkling. <br />Newman Can you use your well? <br />Utecht You can use it for sprinkling, but if it is hooked up to drain <br />into the sewer, you will have to pay double sewer rental. <br />
