Title
DISCUSS HAM LAKE REQUEST FOR WATER CONNECTION
Background
The City of Ham Lake has requested that two properties in Ham Lake be allowed to connect to water main from the City of Blaine. One of the properties has an existing building and one is vacant. The request is being made to primarily provide fire protection to the properties. Not having city water requires a more expensive fire suppression method be use.
The City of Blaine has similar water connection agreements with most of the cities that we share boundaries with. With our existing agreements however, the properties served are directly adjacent to the boundary. Only one of the Ham Lake properties is directly adjacent, the other a few hundred feet away.
