WELCOME MIKE BARONE AS CITY ADMINISTRATOR

The article here:

You know what I like about Mike? Here is a direct quote from him LAST February 3rd 2014:

"I think we have an obligation to the people that live in the areas that have this terrible water and I don’t think its going to get any better by waiting 3 months or 6 months to study it. They would like clean water now and you heard from your staff members and public works that they’re getting almost daily complaints about it and this is winter wait until the summer starts. I think it will get even worse then. like I said I think we have an obligation to provide them with decent water. I think its bad for you as far as being city council members when you have people complaining about not having good drinking water and good bathing water and good and dishwashing water and clothes washing water and and they are asking you to do something about it and you are going to sit on it for 3-6 months.."

“We have an obligation to clean that water up now, sooner rather than later." 

Here is that video. Mike starts talking at 2:49 into the video.

Mike please use your power for good and help us city water user clean and consistent water!

HUNTERS CREST RESIDENTS FIZZY TAP WATER

This is entirely wrong! Given the recent decision by our new Mayor Lisa Whalen WHEN is this going to be fixed!? It's ridiculous that on a day to day basis the city water users can not count on the consistency of our water. It might be time for the residents to start looking into legal action.

HUNTERS CREST BLUE WATER

Is the city now over compensating with too much chlorine? Some residents water is coming out very blue and very very chlorine smelling. Too the point where its hard to be in the bathroom with a tub of water the smell is so strong.

STAR TRIBUNE ARTICLE DEC 5

This is entirely disheartening. Well water user concerned over losing their landscaping are heard louder than Minnetrista residents who are actually using the city water and are concerned about the safety and quality of the water they are exposing to their families.
