Hall, Water System Manager DATE: April 4, 1991 SUBJECT: Proposed Well Zone Ordinance Attached please find for First Reading, a Proposed Ordinance as prepared by Skip Randolph for inclusion on the Village Council Agenda of April 11, 19.91. The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide additional security and protection of Village rights in our pursuit of acquisition, operation and maintenance of, water supply wells and transmission mains outside the municipal boundaries of Tequesta. To meet projected growth and water demands, we are actively seeking well sites within those specified areas as permitted by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and prepared by Gee & Jenson Engineers. Upon adoption, a copy of this Ordinance will be submitted to those Regulatory Agencies responsible for wellfield protection. Should further legal clarification be required, I respectfully request questions be directed to Mr. Randolph. TCH/mk Attachment cc: John C. Randolph, Village Attorney Recycled Paper ORDINANCE NO.
