Dick Benson, City Administrator, reported on ORONO/LONG LAKE WATER the status of the Orono/Long Lake water matter stating that the City of Long Lake has officially extended the water termination date until July l, 1982 . I believe , as of this date, February 6 , 1981, ' that the City of Long Lake, City of Orono, and the City of Medina will participate in a needs assessment of their areas and the City of Long Lake will construct a well and tower on Long Lake property on Highway #12 adjacent to Robbs Motel to serve all of us and meet our needs that are now evident. It is obvious from all of the engineering reports that have been produced, that pressure,not quantity, is the problem, and one well and tower will resolve everyone ' s problem. If the water matter is handled right, we will all agree to purchasing water at a given rate allowing increases dictated by inflation, as it relates to operatinq costs, and not have a termination clause, but a committee of three representing each city, to evaluate and resolve problems as they arise . Also, we will require all private wells to be metered to end once and for all questions on additional sewer flows from outside areas. We will continue to follow through on this matter . (Continued)
