Ceresco hears water‑system update; staff reports wells at historically low levels and recommends continued odd/even restrictions
Summary
Village staff updated trustees that 2024 water‑main improvements are nearly complete and reported well levels about seven feet lower than previously observed; staff recommended continuing odd/even watering restrictions. The board also received an ICS overview from Saunders County Emergency Management.
Village public‑works staff told the Ceresco Village Board on May 14 that the 2024 water main improvement project has both ends complete, with only valve tie‑ins remaining, and that local well levels are unusually low.
Brian Roland said the crew finished the primary water‑main work and that only tie‑ins of the new valves remain. He reported that village wells are ‘‘about 7 feet’’ lower than he has previously seen and recommended the Village remain on odd/even day watering restrictions to conserve supply.
The board received an informational G‑402 Incident Command System overview from Terry Miller of Saunders County Emergency Management; the presentation was intended as training for executives and senior officials and did not prompt formal board action.
No specific changes to the Village’s watering policy were voted on at the meeting; Roland’s recommendation to stay on odd/even restrictions was presented to trustees as operational guidance for managing low well levels. The meeting adjourned at 6:48 PM.
