SW1 - Agreement to Provide Public Water to Well Advisory Area The Council received a copy of the proposed contract between Lake Elmo and Washington and Ramsey Counties to provide water, via Oakdale to those homes in the well advisory area. The City Engineer and City Attorney have reviewed this contract and their concerns had been addressed by the Counties. Mary Luth, Wash. Cty. Public Health reported final action on the proposed agreement was anticipated by both Ramsey County and Washington County Boards on June 26th; contingent on positive action by both cities prior to June 19. The Council suggested the following wording to be added to Item 2A of the agreement: "Lake Elmo agrees that no additional hookups will be made to the water system unless there is clearly demonstrated a capacity to serve all the fully developed area in the Well Advisory Area". Mary Luth said she would take this language and incorporate it into the agreement. The City Administrator will poll the Council for approval on the new wording change.
