CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT A. Long Term Drinking Water Supply Plan City Engineer Bohrer requested a copy of the "Long Term Drinking Water Supply Plan" from Mary Luth, Community Services Director. This document was prepared by Washington and Ramsey Counties as required by MPCA. Basically, it summarizes the same information found in 1984 Advisory Committee Report. One new piece of information was the implementation schedule. Bohrer found it disturbing that once the MPCA and MDH positions are eastablished and assesed, it could still take another 12-14 months to have a functioning water system. He does agree that 7 months is a reasonable time for Steps 4, 5 and 6 for design and construction. It does not seem reasonable that it should take 7 months for the City and Counties to reach a decision on which systems to choose. According to the schedule put forth in this report, affected Lake Elmo residents will not have a water system until 1987 at the earliest. Morgan - I think 7 months is entirely too long to decide what an adequate system is. It has been discussed for almost two years.
