County packet documented recent manure spills and spurred discussion on POWTS hookups for RVs

Oct 26, 2026

Staff reported two recent manure spills and asked the committee to work with the Highway Department on a county manure spill response plan; the packet also recorded a local property with campers hard‑piped to a POWTS and included county and peer‑county email commentary about RV hookups to POWTS systems.

The full story

The materials described two recent manure‑release incidents: one where a dump truck spread manure along County Road T and another where a tanker valve malfunction distributed manure several miles on a township road. The packet summarized Highway Department interest in a formal manure spill response plan and said Steve Morgan (Grant County Highway Department) "would like to work together and come up with a manure spill response plan," while Keith Lane said he would investigate a policy/procedure to identify who to call and how to report spills.
