IIulen; � <br /> i <br /> The C.ity of Orono does not have the means nor personnel to inspect <br /> exist�.ng private wellls for current physical or mechanical condition, <br /> and does not certify their condition. The City has adopted the <br /> MiT�nesota Department of Iiealth Water Wel ]. Construction Code, which <br /> set.s c:riteria for the construction and location of wells. However, as <br /> of January 1, 1990, the Minnesota Department of Health has sole <br /> jurisdiction regarding well code compliance. <br /> The City does not have facilities to test private wells for water <br /> quality. Parties requesting a water test for mortgage purposes are <br /> referred to private testing laboratories. <br /> The City of Orono has no we 11 inspection program, and does not have <br /> the means nor personnel to inspect properties to verify whether wells <br /> exist on the property or whether all wells on the property have been <br /> legally sealed. Currently, local well drillers are voluntarily <br /> providing the City with copies of well records for wells that they <br /> dri 11, and we 11 abandonment records for we 1 ls that they abandon. <br /> The City of Orono, at the we 11 dri 1 ler's request, wi 11 inspect the <br /> proposed location of any new well installations to assist in <br /> determining proper locations meeting required sanitary setbacks. All <br /> other types of well inspections are referred to the Minnesota Health <br /> Department (623-5100). <br /> Regarding 1205 Dickenson Street, the City has no information about the <br /> existing well. Private wells are necessary in this area of the City <br /> because there is no municipal water system available. <br /> Sincerel , <br /> . � <br /> Michael P. ffron <br /> Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator <br /> MPG/lsv <br /> BUILDING&7.ONING-473-7357 • AUMINISTRATION&1�INANCE-473-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS-473-7359 • <br /> ASSESSING FAX-473-0510 <br />
