A Message from Mayor Mullin

I'm writing to inform you about a policy change from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO): They have begun a policy of not prosecuting some felony crimes that are uncovered during stops for minor traffic infractions, often called "pretextual" stops. The Wayzata City Council and Administration stand in full support of our Police Chief and officers regarding their serious concerns about this change. We believe this decision poses a risk to our community's safety because it limits a crucial tool for crime prevention. We share the HCAO’s commitment to fair and equitable law enforcement. However, we are disappointed that police leaders across the county were not consulted on this major policy change. We believe achieving equity requires a collaborative approach that considers the operational realities and specific needs of communities like Wayzata. We will continue to advocate for a public safety strategy that is both fair and effective. Click here to read letter on this topic.

Klapprich Park

The Klapprich Park construction is currently underway. The site construction is expected to continue until late fall, and the building construction is expected to continue into the winter. Specific construction updates can be found at the Klapprich Park Project Webpage.

The Dog Park and field are closed until the sod has been established and construction has been completed.

Water Meter Replacement

The City of Wayzata has contracted with Ferguson Waterworks and VEPO Metering to replace approximately two-thirds of the residential and commercial water meters throughout the city. Meters were last replaced approximately 20 years ago and are approaching their useful life. The contractor has begun notifying affected properties, via letter, to schedule appointments, beginning in mid-December. There will be no cost to the property owner for this meter upgrade, but owners are required to have the water meter replaced.

Property owners will need to ensure that the water shutoff valve on the incoming water service (before your water meter) is in working condition. If the valve does not close or it leaks, it will need to be replaced or repaired prior to scheduling an appointment.
