4 --Elk Riv <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> Elk River. MN 55330 Fax -634418099 <br /> August 5, 2003 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> John Dietz <br /> Jerry Takie <br /> James Tralle <br /> From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> Subject: Up-date Well #8 <br /> At the May 13, 2003, Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, authorization <br /> was given to proceed with water facility #8. This facility is in the city park adjacent to <br /> Grace Assembly of God. See the attached map. The test wells were constructed at the <br /> location of Well #8 and Well #9. The ground formations at Well #8 were as expected <br /> with good water quality. The test Well #9, yielded a pleasant surprise. There is a large <br /> water bearing gravel layer above the Mt. Simon Hinckley formation that yields a large <br /> amount of water. The Well #9 site is a good location for two production wells. One in <br /> the water bearing gravel at elevations 185 to 280, and the other in the Mt. Simon <br /> Hinckley formation below 315 feet. Both well outputs would be piped to water facility <br /> #5 for treatment. We are still waiting for the water quality analysis, but the initial <br /> indications are good. This is good news, for it is getting more difficult to purchase land <br /> for water production or storage facilities. <br /> At the September 2003, commission meeting, bid tabulations will be presented to <br /> construct Well #8 and construct the raw water line from Well #8 to treatment plant #7 for <br /> treatment. <br />
