"MRWA helped us complete Part 1 & 1 of Willow River Wellhead Protection Plan, which included many com- ponents. The preparation of a program such as this is almost impossible for small cities such as Willow River, who usually have only one full -time employee. Without the help of MRWA professionals such as Dave Neiman, we would not have been able to comply with Minnesota State Law in past years, MR WA has helped with identifying l &I, televising mains, smoke testing, and providing assistance for many items that would have been outside of our expertise and out of our reach financially. You truly are a blessing for small cities." Connie Ecklund, City Clerk, City of Willow }fiver "We are a small city (pop. 602) that does not have a lot of revenue.
