Suamico board approves 2025 MS4 stormwater report; receives Consumer Confidence Report
Loading...
Summary
The village board approved its 2025 MS4 annual report, confirming compliance with municipal stormwater permit requirements, and received the 2025 Consumer Confidence Report on drinking-water monitoring; trustees heard that radium levels have fluctuated but overall sampling remains in compliance with DNR requirements.
The Suamico Village Board on March 6 voted unanimously to approve the village's 2025 MS4 (municipal separate storm sewer system) annual report, a compliance document the village must submit to the Wisconsin DNR by March 31.
Director Smith summarized routine stormwater activities covered in the report, including public outreach and education, erosion-control enforcement, illicit-discharge screening at major outfalls, post-construction stormwater management, pollution-prevention planning and TMDL implementation. He told the board the village is meeting the MS4 permit requirements for 2025 and invited public questions; the board opened a public-comment period for the item, heard none, and approved the report by voice vote 4-0.
Director Smith also presented the 2025 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and distributed to utility customers with second-quarter bills and posted on the village website. Smith said the CCR summarizes required monitoring results reported to the Wisconsin DNR. Trustees asked specifically about trace elements: Smith said lead and copper results have been steady year-to-year, while radium has fluctuated ("it does trend up and down a little bit over the years") and has recently been trending downward; he noted the village is monitoring and that a new well will require treatment at that location.
The board took no separate action on the CCR because it is informational; staff will continue routine monitoring and report any significant changes.
