<br />WS – Item #2 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: May 6, 2019 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Oertel Architects <br />Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br />Re: Well No. 7 Update, Oertel Architects, Diane Hankee <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />On December 10, 2018 the City Council authorized the preparation of a Feasibility Study <br />for Well No. 7. The Feasibility Study evaluates the construction of Well No. 7 and the <br />use of an existing farm house as the well house. The existing farm house and proposed <br />well are located at 509 Birch Street. 509 Birch Street was purchased by Anoka County <br />for future access to Birch Street in coordination with the Centennial School District. <br /> <br />At the April 1, 2019 Council work session we discussed the collapse of the test well and <br />the options for the well moving forward. A screened test well was recommended and is <br />estimated to cost $75,000 to $80,000. Prior to moving forward with receiving quotes for <br />the screened well, staff evaluated moving the farmhouse and converting it to a well <br />house. <br /> <br />Oertel Architects and WSB and Associates have completed some preliminary layouts of <br />the farmhouse being moved and used as the well house. They have also completed <br />preliminary cost estimates. Jeff Oertel will be present at the work session to go through <br />the evaluation. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Provide staff direction regarding the use of the farm house as a well house, and if Council <br />would like move forward staff will bring back quotes for the screened test well. <br /> <br /> <br />
