These properties are required to submit <br /> certified well test results twice a year; once in April and once in October to verify water quality. <br /> There is a cost of approximately $25 to the property owner to conduct this test. <br /> After receiving these well test results for ten years with only one negative result, staff is <br /> requesting that the City Code be amended to require that well testing be required only once a year <br /> rather than twice, preferably in June of each year. Retesting and treatment is required if negative <br /> results are received. <br /> On October 25, 1999, the Council approved the first reading for this ordinance. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Approve the second reading and adopt proposed Ordinance 636, an ordinance which amends said <br /> chapter of the Mounds View Municipal Code. <br /> <i cum), .L. 6,►\, <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> C:\OFFICE\WPWIN\WPDOCS\REPORTS\ORD636.REP <br />
