staining and a metallic taste. The recent PFAS results are further reason to restrict the use of <br />this well. <br />Private well owners should also be aware of the possibility of PFAS in their water supply. <br />To address public inquiries City staff has set up a webpage with background information, a <br />Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document, and links to multiple MDH and EPA resources. <br />The Lino Lakes page can by found at: www.linolakes.us/pfas <br />Additionally, staff has started the process for replacement of Well No. 2. A preliminary well <br />assessment was completed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) in <br />September. Staff will be bringing forward a proposal from WSB to develop a test well and <br />evaluation services at the November 11, 2024 regular council meeting. <br />As a reminder the new water treatment plant does not treat for PFAS. PFAS removal requires a <br />completely different process than what is used for Manganese and Iron. Testing results do not <br />currently warrant development of a treatment process. However, the site planning process did <br />incorporate a location to accommodate this additional treatment process if needed in the <br />future. <br />The City and MDH will continue to monitor PFAS concentrations and adjust well pumping <br />accordingly. This information is ever evolving, and the city is continuously monitoring the EPA's <br />and MDH's guidance on PFAS Maximum Containment Levels and are always considering the <br />health and safety of the residents. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION <br />None required.
