Mr. Pete Barette and Fred Welch appeared to discuss water
service to the Lakewood Meadows Subdivision. Nancy Payne, DNR,
appeared before the Committee and gave a brief overview of well
sitings within the boundaries of a landfill and indicated that
some of the private wells in Lakewood Meadows and Lakeview
Highlands will have to go through a variance process with the
DNR. The Committee discussed with the above developers the
requirements of a community well system.
Correspondence from Ken Ward, Ruekert & Mielke, was reviewed
regarding the City's request for a recommendation for front
foot rates for water projects for 1994. It was stated that a
review of the past projects revealed that this rate is still
slightly short of being able to finance the projects to a point
where they would become self-supporting. It was recommended
that a 3% increase in the front rate be established for the
1994 calendar year. Ald. Woodard moved to recommend the
following rates for 1994:
Front Foot Rate for Residential $31.90 per ft.
Front Foot Rate for Commercial/
Industrial $36.05 per ft.
Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried. The Committee
determined that the lateral assessment cost will be set on a
project by project basis.
The Committee discussed proposed 1994 water projects and
determined that the anticipated water projects for 1994
