Boyceville committee discusses State Highway 79 plans, recurring force main problems
Summary
The Village of Boyceville Committee of the Whole reviewed Department of Transportation coordination on State Highway 79 construction, looked at multiple cost estimates from MSA and flagged recurring force main failures; the board said it will pursue corrective action but did not adopt a formal resolution.
The Village of Boyceville Committee of the Whole reviewed planning for the State Highway 79 construction period and discussed long-running problems with a sewer force main.
The discussion began after a question from the Department of Transportation about whether the village intends to complete related local work while DOT crews are on site. Engineering firm MSA presented multiple cost estimates for the possible work, and committee members raised recurring operational failures of a force main that have occurred over several years.
The committee identified the force main as a priority and "indicated that corrective action will be taken to address these concerns," according to the meeting record. No formal motion or vote to authorize a specific repair package was recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: coordinating village utility work with DOT construction can reduce disruption and lower costs, but it requires clear scope, funding and scheduling decisions. The committee heard estimates from MSA but did not adopt a contract or direct staff to a specific procurement during the session.
What happened next: the committee left the issue open for follow-up. The transcript does not record a timetable, a funding source, or a specific corrective-action plan; those details are not specified and will require later meetings or staff follow-up.
The committee did not take a formal vote on repairs during the meeting.
