City department spotlight
As a new feature, the City of Oak Park Heights will spotlight a different department in each news-
letter this year. This edition features our Public Works Department. The City of Oak Park
Heights Public Works Department is charged with the responsibility of maintaining the City's wa-
ter, sanitary sewer and storm sewer utility systems. To maintain these utility systems on a daily
basis, Pubic Works staff performs pump and component inspections and makes necessary re-
pairs, performs valve inspections and repairs, engages in water sampling and testing, locating
underground utility pipes and structures, maintains and repair hydrants, and responds to other
requests for service. Public Works Staff also maintains the City streets and Right of Ways, parks
and trails and City owned buildings.
To keep cost for services as low as possible, the City avoids the burden of operating and main-
taining expensive limited use equipment. For example, the City enters into yearly service con-
tracts for snow plowing, sewer jetting and televising, street sweeping and lawn mowing. Utility
excavations are also performed under a service contract when necessary.
The public works staff, and all Oak Park Heights City employees, strive to provide top notch ser-
vice to our residents and our commercial utility customers. Our office is located in the City Hall
building at 14168 Oak Park Blvd N. You can contact us by calling (651) 439-4439.

Attention Pet Owners
Leash Law Reminder
The City of Oak Park Heights City Council updated its Leash Law Ordinance effective March 1,
2015. All dogs and cats that are off the premises of the owner must be on a leash at all times and
under control of the owner or another designated person. If you do not have your dog or cat on
a leash,you will be in violation of the new Ordinance.
Also, when you are out walking your pet, please remember to bring a plastic bag. Pet owners
are required by City Ordinance to clean up pet waste on public and private property. Removal
and proper disposal of pet waste helps keep our City clean and healthy.
Pet Licenses
All dogs and cats in the City for more than 30 days are required to have a City Pet License. There

proof of your pet's rabies vaccination to City Hall to receive a pet license and tag. For more infor-
mation, please call City Hall at 651-4394439. City Ordinances can be viewed on the City's web-
site: www.cityofoakparkheights.com.
Portable and/or temporary storage/parking (accessory) structures
City Ordinance 401.15.D "Accessory Buildings, Uses and Equipment' sets
forth the criteria established for accessory buildings, including but not lim-
ited to the area of the yard it may be located, its general design elements
including, among other things, its height, size and compatibility to the prin-
ciple structure upon a lot.
City Ordinance requires that accessory structures be compatible with the

it
2015 Drinking Water Report
The City of Oak Park Heights is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to De-
cember 31,2015. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers' understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of
the need to protect precious water resources.
Source of Water
The City of Oak Park Heights provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: two wells ranging from 290 to
310 feet deep,that draw water from the Jordan aquifer.
The Minnesota Department of Health has made a determination as to how vulnerable our systems'source(s)of water may be to
future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water,please call
651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318(and press 5)during normal business hours. Also,you canview it online at
www.health.state.nm.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.
Call Public Works Director Andy Kegley(651)439-4439 if you have questions about the City of Oak Park Heights drinking water
or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring
No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detect-
ed in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace
amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year;as a result,not all contaminants were sam-
pled for in 2015. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for,they are included in the table
along with the date that the detection occurred.)
Key to abbreviations:
MCLG—Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or ex-
pected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL—Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLS are set as close
to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
AL—Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which,if exceeded,triggers treatment or other requirement which a water
system must follow.
90th Percentile Level—This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels.
(For example,in a situation in which 10 samples were taken,the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest
result,which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken,the average of the two
with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.
ppm—Parts per million,which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter(mg/1).
ppb—Parts per billion,which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter(µg/1).
N/A—Not Applicable(does not apply).

If present,elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems,especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in
drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Oak Park
Heights is responsible for providing high quality drinking water,but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing com-
ponents. When your water has been sitting for several hours,you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your
tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water,you
may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water,testing methods,and steps you can take to minimize
exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLS established for them and are not required to
be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act.Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during
normal business hours.
2015 Water Quality
Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
The sources of drinking water(both tap water and bottled water)include rivers,lakes, streams,ponds,reservoirs, springs, and
wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground,it dissolves naturally[]occurring minerals and,in some
cases,radioactive material,and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria,which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations,and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals,which can be naturally[]occurring or result from urban stormwater
runoff,industrial or domestic wastewater discharges,oil and gas production,mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture,urban stormwater runoff,and
residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,which are by[]products of industri-
al processes and petroleum production,and can also come from gas stations,urban stormwater runoff,and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally[]occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining ac-
tivities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink,the U. S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)prescribes regulations which
limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations
establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water,including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants
and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at
11180011426114791.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-
compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,persons who have undergone organ trans-
plants,people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders,some elderly,and infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are
available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 11180011426114791.

Planning a yard sale? Consider your signage. '��<
-� z
Oak Park Heights City Ordinance 401.15.G. sets forth regulations
for signage within the City. The purpose of the ordinance is to pro-
vide regulation of sign aspects in order to promote public health, Sp ,
safety and welfare, while striving to maintain, enhance and improve 4 the visual appearance of the City.
A temporary sign permit is not required for placing your yard sale sign, though the
following rules are to be followed:
Signs are to be freestanding. Please do not attach them to trees, fences, utility
poles or other permanent post structures.
Signs are not allowed within a public right-of-way or any other location that cre-
ates a visual obstruction.
Signs are to be no larger than 12 square feet in size and shall not contain or imi-
tate a traffic sign or signal.
Signs are to be removed at the end of the sale.
Lawn maintenance
Tall grass and weeds create nuisance hazards to neighborhood residents and contribute to an unkempt look
and feel to a neighborhood. Overgrown grass and weeks create conditions where pests dwell, can become a
potential fire hazard during dry periods and can hide trash and other hazards which can be dangerous to
neighbors, children and pets. Pests are more comfortable in these overgrown conditions.
City Ordinance requires that all grass be kept to a height of less than 6 inches. Weeds and grass greater
than 6 inches in height are considered a public nuisance by City Ordinance 1109.03.

Sanitary Sewer Use
The City's Public Works Department provides for the collection, operation and maintenance of a
wastewater system that ultimately leads to treatment and the return of water back to the ecological
system at an environmentally safe level.
Oak Park Heights has approximately 28 miles of sanitary sewer mains, roughly 750 sanitary sewer
manholes and four lift stations. Each year about 30,000 linear feet or roughly six miles of the
City's sanitary sewer mains are cleaned and inspected. Mains that require a higher level of mainte-
nance are cleaned more frequently. This routine maintenance helps to prevent blockages and sew-
er backups; however when unauthorized items are flushed into the sanitary sewer, the City's ability
to prevent backups is no longer controllable.
As a resident, you play a key role in preventing sanitary sewer backups. To help prevent backups,
please dispose of the following items properly by NOT dumping in a drain or flushing down the
toilet:
Diapers
"Flushable"wipes (These do not dissolve, therefore they clog sanitary sewer lines and pumps)
Cooking grease and oil
Sanitary napkins
Rags or shop towels
Garage waste products such as oil, grease, gasoline, antifreeze
Household waste such as ashes, corrosives, glass, metals, paint, poisons, or solvents
Yard waste such as sand, soil, or mud.
Sanitary sewer problems should be reported to the City of Oak Park Heights Public Works Depart-
ment during business hours by calling City Hall (651) 439-4439• The public works department al-
so has a 24 hour emergency only hotline (651) 485-2304. OPH, as in many other Cities across
Minnesota, the sewer main is owned by the City of OPH. City staff are responsible to maintain the
City main lines. The sewer service or lateral from your home, business or other property to the City
sewer main is the property owner's responsibility. That means the property owner is responsible
for clearing any blockages in the service lateral between the home and the main.
