Well house near completion; Wayne School District to place 18,000‑gallon propane tank behind school
Summary
Council received brief infrastructure updates: the municipal well house building and security fence are largely in place but plumbing and electrical work remain; Wayne School District plans an above‑ground 18,000‑gallon propane tank at the school with fencing, and staff said burial is technically possible but not desired by the district.
Town staff reported two short infrastructure updates at the Aug. 28 work meeting: the new well house structure and fence are in place, and Wayne School District plans to install a large propane tank near the school.
Well house: Staff said the well house building and surrounding fence are finished. Remaining work includes electrical connections and pump plumbing; contractors expected to return in September to complete hookups. The council did not set a firm completion date but staff described the remaining work as a short set of tasks tied to equipment delivery.
School propane tank: A district representative told the council the Wayne School District plans to place an approximately 18,000‑gallon above‑ground propane tank in the parking area behind the district building near the DUP. The district proposed a privacy fence around the tank. The council discussed whether the tank could be buried; staff said burial is feasible but that the district prefers an above‑ground installation. The town does not have regulatory authority that would prevent the district from locating the tank on school property, and council members said they would be informed of final plans.
Ending: No formal action was required; staff will monitor contractor schedules for the well house and follow up with the school district on site plans and fencing for the propane tank.
