Subject:

Third Consideration: Ordinance adding Chapter 13.40 to the Davenport Municipal Code entitled “Public Water Supply Well Protection.” [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:

The Scott County Emergency Management Agency (SCEMA) and Iowa American Water Company (IAWC) are partnering to install public water wells to provide a redundant potable water supply for the current IAWC service area. As a requirement for receiving a construction permit for the wells through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, control of contamination sources adjacent to public water supply wells must be secured. SCEMA is requesting support from the City of Davenport to amend the City Code to provide protection of any future wells to be installed within the city.
