Property Qwners List B�ckground The plat c,f East Willow Woods was created in 1990 and included th,e creation of a small parcel, Outiot B, to be used for a City well as a critical element of the City's North Water System, The existing well has served the City for more than 2 decades but due to expanded development in this part of Orono a second well is needed to provide additional capacity and redundancy (also known as `firm capacity'). Due to the required separation distance between municipal wells, it has been detez�mined that the existing well parcel is too small to accommodate a secand well.
