Minetor stated that there are seven properties within the City that currently do not have a municipal water main adjacent to their properties. These residents would incur significantly higher costs to connect to City water than residents with mains adjacent to their property. In some cases, this could easily be triple the normal connection cost. The major concern for these residents is the health aspects of maintaining a primary drinking water supply with a private well.
