A RESOLUTION DECLARING REPAIRS TO THE WEST 76TH STREET
WATER TOWER AS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
WHEREAS, it has recently been discovered that the city water supply tower on West
76th Street has developed a leak on the inside where the pipe enters the bowl; and
WHEREAS, as a result, the tower has had to be completely drained to avoid further risk
and/or damage to the tower or controls; and
WHEREAS, the City's water storage capacity is critical particularly during the summer
months when additional demands are put on the water system due to lawn sprinkling, car washing,
etc.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chanhassen City Council hereby
declares the current problem with the West 76th Street Water Tower to be critical in nature and
an emergency situation for which expedient action must be taken to make the contracted repairs.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 11th day of August, 1997.
