In an effort to resolve this issue, the Elk River Municipal Utilities offers the following. 1. ISD 728 shall follow the even/odd sprinkling restrictions, which in your case is every other day due to the large property tracks with undefined address and no sprinkling between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for all of their facilities in Elk River. 2. The existing irrigation well at Twin Lakes Elementary School may be used by ISD 728 for irrigation of this facility under the following conditions. a) Capacity shall be limited to 200 gpm and 10,000,000 gallons annual withdrawals. b) When Elk River Municipal Utilities initiates construction of a municipal well adjacent to the elementary school site, the school_ district will immedia±ely stop use of this well. c) If the DNR allows the Elk River Municipal Utilities to use this existing well as a Mt.

If this is not the case, the school district shall properly seal this well at their expense. 3. If the DNR ailows the Elk River Municipal Utilities to use the newly drilled Mt.
