-3-
with the Village Clerk a bond in the •amount of $2000.00 in
•
favor of the Village and the public, conditioned upon the
faithful performance of contracts before undertaking the
drilling of any well within the Village.
Subsection 2. No source of domestic water supply shall be
from surface waters nor from any water bearing formaitioai less
than 104 feet from the natural ground surface. Dug wells will not
be permitted.
Subsection 3. No well or buried suction line shall be located
less than 15 feet from a ',property line. No well or buried suction
line shall be located at .a point closer to sewer lines, septic tanks
and drain fields than is !hereinbefore set out and provided. Pumps and
equipment shall be designed; and installed to assure pollution proof
and, where necessary, front proof installation. The pump base shall
be constructed so -as to permit installation of a water -tight mounting.
A well seal shall be used. The top of well casing -or suction pipe
casing shall be a minimum of 18 inches from the basement floor
level. The pump room shall be constructed of concrete and fluor
shall be at least 0 inches above the basement floor and slope to
drain away from the well casing. Suction lines installed through
well casing, or where otherwise installed less than 14 feet below
grade shall be provided with an outside protection casing and shall
be 'set water tight into the well casing. The suction lines shall
slope upward toward the pump. All underground water carrying
piping shall be Type "K" copper and shall be connected with flare
type fittings. Sub - grade housing shall not be used for wells or
pumping equipment unless such housing is an alcove of the dwelling
basement, in which case the footing, of the basement excavation
shall be extended across the face of the alcove. Where the well is
not housed by a basement alcove, the well casing shall be extended
at least 12 inches above the finished ground level. The location of
any well with respect to a building shall be such that a line extend-
ed vertically from the top of the well casing shall clear any projec-
tion of the building by at least 2 feet.
Subsection 4. No well constructed in Shorewood shall ter-
•
minate in the Decorah Shale, Platteville Limestone or Shakopee -
Oneoba Dolomite. No existing well shall be increased in depth to
terminate in those formations.
The casing of any well constructed entirely in unconsolidated
earth formations shall extend to a depth of 100 feet below estab-
lished ground level or through the first impervious soil formation
encountered, whichever is deeper, and at least 5 feet below pumping
level (level below ground level to which the water surface is lowered
in the well during pumping). Where a water- bearing formation is
encountered during well construction at a depth which satisfies
these minimum requirements, the acceptability of the formation
for well development shall be based on the satisfactory results of
analysis of the water by a competent laboratory. Any water - bearing
formation yielding water 'which is contaminated, as evidenced by
the presence of chemicals or bacteria of sewage origin, shall be
regarded as unsatisfactory for well development.
Where a well is drilled to terminate in the St. Peter Sandstone
or the Jordan Sandstone, the Decorah, Platteville and Shakopee
formations shall be sealed off. In the case of •a well finished at a
diameter of 4" and extending through the Platteville Limestone,
this shall be accomplished:,; by installing a minimum 5- inch - diameter
casing from the surface through the glacial drift and into the Platte-
ville Limestone. A nominal 5-mch (minimum) open hole shall then
be drilled through the undesirable formations and at least 20 feet
into the continuous non- faulty consolidated St. Peter , Sandstone
and /or at least 20 feet below the pumping water level, whichever
is lower. A minimum 4 -4nch liner shall then be installed from
the surface to the bottom, of the 5 -inch hole and the bottom 10
feet shall be grouted in place. The nominal 4 -inch open hole shall
oe continued. into the water - bearing formation such distance as is
necessary to provide the required water supply. In ease of wells
larger then 4 inches, all other component parts of the well shall
-4-
• be constructed proportionally.
Subsection 5. The minimum diameter of drilled wells shall be
4 inches. Well casing shall conform in weight and thickness to the
following table:

Subsection 6. An oversize drill hole shall extend to a depth
of at least 20 feet to permit placement of a cement grout seal around
the well casing to that depth. Temporary casing at least 2 inches
in diameter larger than the permanent casing shall be used for the
oversize drillhole if the well is drilled by the cabletool method.
Temporary casing shall be pulled as grout is placed.
Am open hole at least 3 inches in diameter larger than the
outside diameter of the casing pipe shall be provided if temporary
casing in the oversize hole is not needed, as in drilling by the
rotary method. When the permanent casing is fixed in its final
position, the space around it in the oversize drillhole shall be
grouted by adding cement slurry from the bottom of the area to
be grouted upward in one continuous operation. Grouting shall be
carried to the .ground surface or to the level at which the pitless
adaptor may be attached to the casing.
Grout shall be a mixture of Portland cement and water with
not more than 6 gal. of water per 94 -1b. sack of cement.
• When wells are constructed with 'inner and outer permanent
casings, the outer casing shall be grouted to a depth of at least 20
feet in ,accordance with the foregoing requirements. The space
between the casings shall be filled with cement grout or clay
slurry or shall be closed watertight by other means.
Subsection 7. A record of the well certified by the licensee
shall be made showing the nominal size and depth of the casing.
This record shall also state the results of a flow test made at the
the completion -of the well, the static level of the water in the well,
and the drop in feet from the static level after pumping at the rate
of 1200 gallons per hour for 3 hours. One copy of the record shall
be filed with the Village Clerk.
Each private water supply system must produce a minimum
of 1200 gallons per 'hour for a period of at least 3 hours of test
pumping without an appreciably drop in the static level. All such
wells shall be fitted with a permanent pump which shall produce
not more than 75% of such test pumping; rate, but in no case shall
the permanent pump produce less than 600 gallons per hour at
20 lbs, pressure.
All drilled wells, constructed in geological formations of sand,
gravel, or other formations of a caving nature, extending the full
depth of the well, shall have -a permanent casing installed to a
depth which shall be governed by the pumping level. The casing
shall extend five (5) feet below the pumping level. All well casing
shall be new, prime black pipe, reamed and drifted, bearing the
mill label (manufacturer's name). If the ,pipe is threaded and
coupled, the couplings must be of heavy drive type which, when
properly made up, will completely bury the pipe threads. If the
pipe is to be welded in place, it must be the same quality as above
and have a 30 degree factory bevel for welding. All welding of
well casing must be performed by a certified welder. Such welders
shall be qualified under the American Welding Society's `SStandard
qualification Procedure" or other similar tests.
. The first length of pipe must be equipped with. a standard
-5-
Pattern, forged steel drive shoe, securely attached. •
On wells finished in ':sand and gravel, there shall be a screen
extending beyond the end of the casing. The exposed portion of
such screen shall be a minimum of 4 feet in length. The screen
shall be made of Type 304 stainless steel or Everdur metal. On
wells finished in sand and gravel, an adequate screen shall be
provided. The following minimum screen sizes shall be used:
Nominal Size of Outside Diameter Clear Openings
Well Casing of Screen Through Fittings
4 " 1 3 $/4" 3.0
4'/a" 4 1 /4" 3 %"
5 " 4 74 4W
6 5 S i ' s " 4 7 /s "
8 7 6 %ff
No pump shall hereafter be installed that uses the well casing
for a vacuum -line or pressure -line purpose, nor shall any pump be
installed having a buried horizontal suction pipe between the build-
ing and any below - surface pitless well, except where the suction
pipe is encased in pressure pipe. Pitless well land pumping systems
may be installed using a buried horizontal pressure line between
well and building if there is maintained a minimum pressure of
twenty (20) pounds per square inch.
When a submersible pump is used, it must be set with sufficient
drop pipe so that the tap of the pump is set below the pumping
level in the well when pumped at a rate of fifty (54) percent greater
than the capacity of the permanent pump.
If the well is constructed within a well pit attached to the
basement of the building, the top of the well shall be equipped
with a sanitary well seal.
The size of pressure storage tanks !hereafter provided shall be
selected so as to provide a total .pressure storage capacity for any
single - family dwelling so involved of at least 80 gallons. The
following valves and fittings shall be installed to complete the .
system:
1. Square head valves on inlet and discharge of pressure flank
as close to tank as practical..
2. Hose bib -cock at lowest opening on pressure tank.
3. Ground joint union or dresser coupling in discharge line
from well to stank on well side of union or dresser coupling.
4. Air re- charge system, or -air-saver type tank.
Subsection 8. After final installation of the pumping equipment,
the well shall be pumped continuously until water is free of tur-
bidity. The well, pumping equipment and piping system shall :then
be disinfected in accordance with the following .procedure and table:
Pour ordinary hypochlorite laundry bleach • mixed with water
in the ratio of one quart of bleach to three gallons of water into
the well in such a way as to wash down the inside of the well
casing and outside of the drop line. The disinfectant shall be
left in the well for at least 12 hours, whereupon it shall be
pumped into the system and drawn to all extremities thereof
by opening each outlet until the presence of disinfectant in the
flowing water is detectable. The disinfectant shall be left in
the system for at least two hours, whereupon water shall run
to waste to dispose of the disinfectant.

A sample of the water shall be collected and it shall be the
the responsibility of the home owner or his agent to have a bac- •
-6-
• teriological examination made of the sample by a person skilled
in making such examination. A signed report of such examination
certifyng that the water is of such quality as is acceptable for
human consumption shall be filed with the Village Clerk within
20 days after completion of the well installation and upon the filing
of such a report a certificate of compliance shall be issued by the
sewer and water inspector.
Subsection 9. No newly drilled well or .pump system shall be
placed into service unless such system meets the minimum standards
set out in this ordinance and a - certificate of compliance therewith
has been issued or provided herein.
Subsection 10, On repair work of existin wells or systems
supplying any domestic water supply, including those from surface
waters, the provisions of this Ordinance may be waived if the
Inspector determines that enforcement would be disadvantageous
to the homeowner and such determination is approved by the Vil-
lage .Council. No dug well may be renovated or repaired but must
be abandoned when in need of repairs.
Subsection 11. Any well which is no longer used or is abandoned
shall be treated in accordance with instructions of the Sewer and
Water Inspector and the standards of the Minnesota .State Board
of Health."
Section VIII. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force
from and after its passage and publication.

system and which discharges only
normal sewage into such system.
A. Minimum Charges. The
minimum quarterly charge for
each residential sewage equiva-
lent or unit shall be $7.50.
Section 3. Beginning Service.- -
For a fraction of a quarter the
charges and rates for residential
units shall be based upon the
amount of the established mini-
mum flat charge, provided, how-
ever, that the actual month of
beginning shall be considered as
having begun on the first or the
fifteenth of the month, whichever
is closer.
Section 4. Billing. — Bills for
charges for the use and service of
the sewage system shall be made
out by the Village or its agents
in accordance with usual and cus-
tomary general billing practices.
All bills shall be payable to the

tion fund, billing, collection, and
other similar or related sewer
operating expenses. If the rates
and charges prescribed herein do
not produce a net revenue suffic-
ient to permit payment of the
purposes for which established,
the rates and charges provided
herein shall be adjusted from
time to time to permit the accum-
ulation of net revenues equal to
the charges and expenses of oper-
ating the sanitary sewer system.
