HEAR THE PUBLIC
DC Orr of 1117 Nevada Ave., stated that Kootenai Pets for Life has drilled a well on city property and thought that someone from the city knew about the well being drilled before it was drilled. Mr. Orr stated that the well is in direct violation of the city’s well ordinance. Mayor Berget stated that the city well ordinance is pretty vague on hooking up to city water where it is not available and needs to be updated. The mayor also stated that city water is not available across the river where Kootenai Pets for Life is going to be located. Mr. McElmurry stated there should be something in the ordinance to allow wells to be drilled across the river, but still in the city limits.
