Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers overseeing well-related work on their properties should be aware that § 15.161 requires submission of all state-mandated well reports and records to the City of Bloomington no later than 60 days after the work is completed. Compliant operators typically coordinate with their licensed well contractors to confirm that the required documentation is gathered promptly and delivered to the city within the deadline. Keeping copies of all submitted reports and tracking submission dates are practices commonly associated with maintaining compliance under this provision.

Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.161, any well construction, reconstruction, or sealing work performed on a rental property is subject to a city reporting requirement, and tenants have an interest in knowing whether that work has been properly documented. If a tenant has concerns that required well reports were not submitted to the city within the 60-day window, they may consider contacting the City of Bloomington directly to inquire about compliance or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Raising a potential violation of § 15.161 as part of a broader habitability or code-compliance concern is one path that tenants sometimes explore.
