Summary

Montmorency County Road Commission representative Rebecca Rivard told the Hillman council on June 16 that the village's well project is delayed because EGLE approval for Well 7 is pending and the electrical design has not been completed; she said bids are expected in the coming weeks and wells could be drilled this year with Well 7 replacement next year.

Rebecca Rivard told the Village of Hillman council on June 16 that the well project is encountering two principal delays: state environmental approvals for Well 7 and an unfinished electrical design.

Rivard said she needs both EGLE approval and the completed electrical plans before submitting materials to the grant committee. She reported that if drilling extends into the school calendar the contract will include caveats for weekend work to minimize interference with school activities. Rivard said she hopes to obtain bids in the next few weeks, to get two wells drilled this year and to replace Well 7 next year.

No formal vote was recorded on the well project during the meeting; the council received the update and recorded next steps in the minutes.
