Commissioners approve joint funding agreement with USGS for groundwater monitoring
Summary
The board approved a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (OKI Water Science Center) to implement a continuous groundwater-level monitoring network at a cost not to exceed $37,080 for Oct. 1, 2025–Sept. 30, 2026.
The Williams County Board of Commissioners approved a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (OKI Water Science Center) and the Department of the Interior to implement a continuous groundwater-level monitoring network, with costs not to exceed $37,080 for the term Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026.
A commissioner noted the arrangement was similar to the previous year — the county pays initial costs and then seeks reimbursement from participating states and counties. The Chair said Indiana confirmed participation for two wells already in the network.
The motion was moved, seconded and approved by roll call as recorded in the public transcript. The agreement commits the county to the stated term and maximum cost; the record does not provide detailed sampling protocols or expected data-release schedules.
