Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> Re: Private Well Certification <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> The City of Orono has neither the means nor personnel to inspect existing private wells for current <br /> physical or mechanical condition, and does not certify their condition. The City has adopted the <br /> Minnesota Health Department Water Well Construction Code, which sets criteria far the <br /> construction and location of wells. Since January 1, 1990,the Minnesota Health Department has had <br /> sole jurisdiction regarding well code compliance. <br /> The City does not have facilities to test private wells for water quality. Parties requesting a water <br /> test for mortgage purposes are advised to contact a private testing laboratory. The City does not <br /> certify water tests for mortgage purposes. <br /> The City of Orono has no well inspection program, and does not have the means nor personnel to <br /> inspect properties to to verify whether wells exist on the property or whether all wells on the property <br /> have been legally abandoned. <br /> At the request of a state-licensed water well contractor or homeowner, the City will inspect the <br /> proposed location of any new well installation to assist in determining proper locations meeting <br /> required sanitary setbacks. All other types of well inspections are referred to the Minnesota Health <br /> Department (627-5]00). <br /> Sincerely, , <br /> �7 `. <br /> ���.� � � <br /> �- � <br /> Michael P.
