After receiving a well permit, the permittee will notify the City Environmental Health Division at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the permitted work, except in valid emergency situations where the contractor must apply for a permit and give notification the next city business day. (Ord. 2014-14, passed 10-13-2014)
Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.160.01, anyone who has obtained a well permit is required to give the City Environmental Health Division at least 24 hours' advance notice before beginning the permitted work. An exception exists for genuine emergencies, in which case the contractor must apply for the permit and provide notification by the next city business day. This rule ensures the City has an opportunity to coordinate or conduct required inspections before work commences.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under a well permit in Bloomington should build the 24-hour advance notification requirement of § 15.160.01 into their standard project scheduling procedures. Coordinating with contractors ahead of time helps ensure that the City Environmental Health Division is properly notified before any permitted well work begins. In the rare case of a valid emergency, operators should be aware that the permit application and notification must still be completed by the next city business day.

Under § 15.160.01, tenants living at properties where well work is being performed have an interest in knowing that the City Environmental Health Division is supposed to receive at least 24 hours' notice before that work starts. If work appears to have begun without proper notice or permitting, tenants can contact the Bloomington City Environmental Health Division to inquire about compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can also help residents understand what steps are generally available when notification or permitting requirements may not have been followed.
