County staff says regional water-line project appraisal underway; construction proposed for 2026
Summary
County staff reported appraisals of easements for a proposed water line from the southeast county (Royalton) toward the west side of Lebanon are underway; appraisers met with staff and expect to report within about a month, and construction was mentioned as proposed to start in 2026.
County staff provided an update on a proposed regional water-line project that would run from the southeast portion of the county near Royalton through to the west side of Lebanon.
The presiding member said the county has met with appraisers to obtain easement valuations and that the appraisers would return with results after an August 1 meeting; staff said they expect the appraisal work to take about a month. The presiding member added that construction was being proposed to start in 2026. The county has completed some subsurface borings along State Road 550; staff said landowners had received letters and that the route details were still being finalized, including which side of the road the line would occupy.
The item was presented as a heads-up to the board rather than an action item. No formal decisions or authorizations were taken during the meeting; staff said they will continue to coordinate easement valuations, property-owner notifications and design details as the project progresses.
Details to watch - Appraisers met with county staff; results expected in roughly a month from the August 1 meeting (as stated in the meeting). - Construction is proposed for 2026 (timeline stated by county staff during the meeting). - Route details, including which side of State Road 550 will carry the line, remain to be confirmed and will depend on further field work and property-owner coordination.
