The aim is to evaluate how different <br />grass types perform under local conditions, emphasizing water <br />conservation while maintaining the visual appeal valued by <br />homeowners. The results will help develop recommended seed <br />mixtures that can be made more broadly available through local <br />vendors, making it easier for residents to choose water-smart options <br />for their lawns. <br />This initiative demonstrates Lake Elmo’s ongoing dedication to <br />environmental stewardship. <br />Well 2 is now online! <br />The water treatment plant at Well 2 has been installed and is now <br />online for regular water consumption. In conjunction with Wells 4 and <br />5, Well 2 will now be integrated into the city's standard water <br />system. <br />All drinking water in Lake Elmo meets the standards set by the <br />Minnesota Department of Health and the EPA. <br />Exciting Opportunity in Lake Elmo! <br />The City of Lake Elmo is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for <br />the purchase and redevelopment or reuse of the City-owned property <br />known as the former Fire Station and Parks Building (the “Property”). <br />The property being sold is approximately 1.2 acres (about 0.8 acres <br />excluding right-of-way dedication).
