Council staff applied for $14,000 wellhead protection grant to fund fence and outreach
Summary
Staff said they applied with assistance from Duncan for a $14,000 implementation grant to complete four items in the wellhead plan, including an estimated $10,000 fence for Well 8 and outreach to schools; award timing is not yet known.
Staff told the council the city submitted an implementation-grant application (deadline Nov. 18) seeking $14,000 to address four action items in its wellhead protection plan. The largest single item is constructing a fence around Well 8, which staff estimated at about $10,000; the remaining items were described as administrative work including outreach to schools, updates to land-use language to align with the wellhead plan, and public education.
The staff member said notification requirements to local government units and the state Department of Health had been completed as part of the application. When asked about award timing, staff said they had not yet been notified and could not provide a schedule; they indicated that the city would use approved funding to implement the listed tasks if awarded.
No council vote accompanied the grant submission; staff asked the council to note the application and said they would report back when awards are announced.
