WS – Item #1 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 1 Date: December 2, 2019 To: City Council From: Diane Hankee, City Engineer Re: Well House No. 7 Feasibility Study Background On December 10, 2018, the City Council authorized the preparation of a Feasibility Study for Well House No. 7. The Feasibility Study evaluates the construction of Well No. 7 and the use of an existing farm house as the well house. The Feasibility Study also included the evaluation and construction of a test well. The existing farm house and proposed well are located at 509 Birch Street. 509 Birch Street was purchased by Anoka County for future access to Birch Street in coordination with the Centennial School District. During the drilling of the test well, in March of 2019, the test well collapsed and the test well was not able to be completed. At the April 1, 2019, Council work session, the collapse of the test well was discussed with Council along with the options for the test well moving forward. A screen test well was recommended. Prior to the approval the screened test well staff brought back additional information to the May 6, 2019 work session. WSB engineers and Oertel Architects provided preliminary layouts and cost estimates for re-purposing the farmhouse as a well house. They also provided a comparison cost of a new well house. On June 10, 2019 the Council awarded the bid for the screened test well. The test well and water system modeling was completed. The Feasibility Study for Well No. 7 has been finalized. Jeff Oertel of Oertel Architects and Greg Johnson of WSB will be present at the work session to go through the Feasibility Study. Requested Council Direction Direct staff to include the Feasibility Study for Well House No. 7 on a future City Council agenda for Acceptance. Attachments 1. Well House No. 7 Feasibility Study
