Brighton, City Manager FROMt Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director FORt CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 69 1986 DATEt July 30, 1986 SU83ECTt MANDATORY WATER HOOK-UPS ADEC will not allow .the City to operate our new sewer system on the MAP project because of%the possibility that there could be private wells within the required separation distance between a well end sewer lines (this"distance can vary from 7S to 100 feet). Locating all the wells in the area could be rather costly and may not be necessary if we'snect the proposed ordinance changes attached to - - this memorandum. I think,ADEC. will be satisfied if we require mandatory water ;connections to our water system and abandonment of the old private Vell(s) prior to the operation of the City sewer maids. Our present Code requires that if there is s structure susceptible of using water within 200 feet of our main, we charge them the ;Y•:,' r'° prevailing monthly r`ete.t •Ho.weverj -our Code does not require them to connect and abandon t6wi'r wbl"l.: AtteahAd are pages 17=b�T, and 8 - 3. of our Kenai Code as it ` 4--pzesentA,,•y�'*titton, I have written this ordinance that makes changes to 11.20.010 and 17.20.011 and I would suggest we present it to Council at the August 69 1966 tweeting. --: This is desperately needed and needed immediately.

McLane 8 Associates, Inc. P.O. Box 468 Ste Soldotna, Alaska 99669 Re: M.A.P. 1966 Water and Sanitary Sewer Improvements Bear Mr. Robson: This office received supppplementary information concerning the above referenced project on October 29, 1985. Items 1 and 2 of my letter of September 6, 1985, have been satisfactorily add- ressed. Concerning the encroachment of the proposed tower extensions into existing protective well radii, again I am unable to approve of these plans until this matter has been satisfactorily addressed. The wells in question must be specifically identified and located. Special sewer line construction practice may allow the required separations to be waived to lesser distances. If not, this office must be assured that these wells will be abandoned prior to operation of the sewer mains. The present city ordinance does not require connection to an existing water main, nor abandowent of welts no longer being utilized. If the wells are to be aband- oned, then either a registered engineer must verify that proper abandonment pro- cedures have been conducted, or a city ordinance must be enacted providing a mans of assuring that proper well abandonment procedures will be exercized. Please contact this office if there are any questions. Sincerely, �. A^jvoe4— Paulaul D.
