   (A)   The city’s Wellhead Protection Plan, hereafter referred to as WHP Plan, was officially adopted by the City Council on April 10, 2012 and approved by the State Department of Health on July 12, 2012.
   (B)   The WHP Plan, with its maps, shall be the basis for this chapter. The Plan and maps shall be displayed and available for viewing at the City Clerk/Treasurer’s office in the City Hall. The WHP Plan may be amended from time to time as needed or required by the State Department of Health.
§ 151.03 MANAGER APPOINTED.
   The City Council has appointed a Wellhead Protection Manager or Managers. They, with the assistance of the Zoning Officer, shall administer the WHP Plan in the city.
§ 151.04 BUDGET.
   The City Council shall annually in the city’s budget include a line item for the funding of the WHP Plan and its implementation.
§ 151.05 PROTECTION TECHNIQUES.
   There are two basic techniques that will be used to protect the city’s WHP area. The first is non-regulatory. The WHP Plan contains a list of objectives and a timeline that will educate and encourage people in the WHP area to voluntarily do things to help reduce or eliminate potential contamination of our drinking water aquifer. The second is regulatory. By the establishment of this chapter, there will be oversight and control of potential contamination sources in the “Drinking Water Supply Management Area,” hereafter referred to as the DWSMA.
§ 151.06 INSTALLATION.
   All wells that are installed within the DWSMA are to be installed by a licensed well driller. The wells must meet all the construction criteria and set back requirements that are set out in Minnesota Administrative Rules Chapter 4725, as it may be amended from time to time. Section 53.04 sites as a violation, any possible connection between a private well and the city water supply.
