J~ <br />Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Apri128, 2005 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />James Tralle <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Subject: Minnesota Department of Health Community Water Supply Inspection <br />Periodically, MDH (Minnesota Department of Health) inspects community water supply <br />systems. Attached is the summary sheet of 2003 survey which we just received. This <br />survey reflects no deficiencies. The MDH is changing some personnel due to <br />retirements. David Schultz was our technical engineer a number of years ago but has <br />been promoted to regional supervisor. Filling his position was William Anderl who <br />recently retired. His replacement is Kim Larsen who will be starting in May 2005. MDH <br />does not spend a lot of time on Elk River because we operate a good system, do our <br />future planning and have enough financial resources to carry on business. We continue <br />to maintain a good relationship with MDH. David Schultz also continues to be a good <br />advocate for us at the state level. <br />Also attached is a copy of 2004 water confidence report that is mailed to all of our water <br />customers on an annual basis. This report reflects if our water quality is in compliance <br />with all state and federal regulations. <br />St. Cloud, St. Paul and Minneapolis obtain their community water supply from the <br />Mississippi River. They are doing a Source Water Protection Plan which is very similar <br />to our Wellhead Protection Plan we adopted a few years ago. We had an opportunity to <br />host an informational meeting in Elk River to facilitate St. Cloud, St. Paul and <br />Minneapolis source water protection plan. Attached is a map reflecting the source water <br />protection area for St. Paul and Minneapolis. They have their work cut out for them. <br />
