Tri County Health septic survey, water fill‑station outage and $80,000 upgrade discussed
Summary
Officials reviewed a Tri County Health septic and water survey mapping where wells can be developed, noted recent short outages at county fill stations and said system keypad upgrades are estimated around $80,000.
County officials discussed recent public‑health and water infrastructure developments. Speaker 3 described a countywide septic and water survey completed by Tri County Health that maps where wells can be developed and where septic limitations exist; the report became publicly available about a month earlier.
Officials said county fill stations were down “for a couple of days,” causing calls from residents; they directed users to the appropriate regional office when services were interrupted. Speaker 1 added the county plans to upgrade aging keypad and access hardware at a cost of about $80,000 after nearly 25 years of service and repeated vandalism/part failures.
Why it matters: The Tri County Health survey gives local planners and residents new information about groundwater and septic suitability, which affects development and well‑drilling decisions. The keypad replacement is an operational fix intended to restore reliable access to services.
Next steps: County staff said the Tri County report is available for public review and that the planned hardware upgrade will proceed as budget and procurement allow.
