Parks commission approves permanent utility easement for boat-landing water service
Summary
The Winnebago County parks commission voted to approve a permanent utility easement allowing staff to tap a private water main to serve a boat landing; the item will go to the county board for final approval and requires payment to the Algoma Sanitary District for sewer hookup.
The Winnebago County Parks Commission voted to approve a permanent utility easement allowing the county to connect water service to a boat landing by tapping a private water main controlled by the Sander's/Sammers Bay Road Association. The motion was made by a committee member and seconded; the voice vote carried.
During the presentation, the Director said the easement is necessary so a contractor can begin work in July and that the sewer line already runs through the property; connecting to the sanitary system will require payment to the Algoma Sanitary District. The easement was described as permanent and intended to ensure the county can maintain the new water line once installed.
Committee discussion was brief. A member moved to approve the permanent utility easement for water service located at the boat landing and a second followed; commissioners answered "aye" on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The Director said staff aims to place the item before the county board in April so construction timelines are met.
The commission did not provide a roll-call vote in the record; staff said further administrative approvals and payments (Algoma Sanitary District hookup) remain part of project closeout and any county-board-level approvals would follow.
