M <br />minnesota department of health <br />717 s.e. delaware st. minneapolis 55440 <br />September 245 197/6 <br />Mr. Joseph G. Chlebeck, Clerk <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mr. Chlebeck: <br />This is in answer to your letter concerning a central water system for <br />the West.Wind Addition in the City of Little Canada. We will attempt <br />to answer your questions in the order in which they were listed. <br />1. We have no knowledge as to whether the city can or cannot require <br />a developer to install a central water system. We would suggest <br />that you discuss this with either your city attorney or with the <br />Minnesota League of Cities attorney. <br />2. The plans and specifications for a central water system to serve <br />66 lots would need'to be submitted to the Department of Health for <br />review and approval prior to construction. If the cost of the <br />project is $30,000 or more, the plans and specifications would have <br />to be prepared by an engineer registered in the state of Minnesota. <br />A permit for the appropriation of water would need to be obtained <br />from the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Waters. <br />3. The water for such a central water system must be treated, at a <br />minimum, to provide adequate fluoridation of the water. Chlorination <br />of all public water supply systems is strongly recommended. Depending <br />on the quality of the water from the well, iron removal treatment <br />may be desirable to provide water of satisfactory quality. <br />4. Based on our experience with similar systems throughout the metro- <br />politan area and in areas having similar geological formations, we <br />would not expect that the central water system would have any harmful <br />effects on the private domestic wells at homes in this area. <br />If you have any questions or if we can be of further service to you in <br />this matter, please let us know. <br />I �O' <br />#'EP�''i <br />1 <br />PBJ/che � �I CITY OF, <br />����� <br />an equal opportunity emplover <br />Yours- ery truly/ <br />G ice• <br />Jo�-i�is�on , Chief <br />Section of Public Water Supplies <br />Clerk's exhibit no. 605 <br />"fleeting 10-13-76 <br />
