April 20, 1987. After considerable discussion Ald. Hilt moved
that the Subdivision be developed with individual wells. There

at the Common Council meeting of April 28, 1987, for indiviudal
consideration of the question.

private wells dated April 23, 1987 was reviewed and the City

additional information and a list of firms that could be
contacted to do this type of work.

the Final Resolution for MW-1-86 and MW-2-86 be amended to
incorporate the terms listed in the Final Resolution for MW-3-87
and MW-5-87 Water Projects. This will provide for a uniform
policy on Janesville Road. Seconded by Ald. Hilt, motion carried.
