State Law sets up priorities for water use permits, and the City's water supply well <br />will take priority over any irrigation well used by the District. The DNR would have to <br />require that any use of the old irrigation well be reduced to the point where it does not <br />interfere with any public water supply system well. <br />1n light ~f these facts, we urge the District to work closely with the City of Elk River in deciding <br />how to irrigate its grounds. Based on our current understanding of the situation, it is unlikely that <br />the DNR could approve a water use permit that would meet the District's lawn irrigation needs. <br />If you have any questions about this matter or if you need assistance in working with the City, <br />please contact Area Hydrologist Roger Stradal at 320-255-4279 (ext. 233). <br />Sincerel , <br />Dale E.
