Summer 2024 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Thank you to our 2024 Lions Park Sign Sponsors <br />The vintage style signs posted on the outfield fencing at Lions Park help support projects at Lions Park <br />such as backstop improvements and a 45th parallel marker. This year we have 19 new and renewing <br />sponsors: <br /> <br />Aaron Runk – State Farm Insurance Krueger Tree Farm <br />Apex Construction, Inc.

Well number 2 PFAS test results <br />exceed the new EPA guidelines of 4 parts per trillion that will become an <br />enforceable standard in 2027. To address this issue, the use of Well 2 has <br />been throttled back and has only been used on a limited, emergency basis. In <br />2023, Well 2 was only used during the 2023 irrigation season, averaging a run <br />time of less than 2.5 hours per day on less than ten days across the irrigation <br />season. <br /> <br />With Well 2 impacted by PFAS, the City is working with the MDH and MPCA <br />to install an Anion Exchange Resin (IX) treatment filter system at Well 2 with <br />the treatment system to be online prior to the 2025 irrigation season. Once <br />installed, the City will be able to resume full production use of the well <br />following the removal of the PFAS.
