Boyceville discusses steps to end Ohly sewer agreement, considers industrial-user fees and fines
Summary
The board discussed terminating the Sewer Use and Discharge Agreement with Ohly after the company raised concerns about potential pH-related fines. Staff will draft formal correspondence and the village agreed to develop an industrial user fee and fine schedule.
The Village of Boyceville’s committee discussed steps needed to terminate the Sewer Use and Discharge Agreement with Ohly after the company raised concerns about potential fines tied to pH measurements. The minutes note that, at present, no charges are being assessed for pH levels.
As part of the discussion, the board agreed to develop an industrial-user fee and a fine schedule for industrial dischargers. Staff was directed to reference an email from McKenzie when drafting formal correspondence to Ohly and to proceed with drafting that correspondence.
The minutes do not record a final decision to terminate the agreement or a vote on fees; they reflect a direction to begin developing policy and communications as the next step. The record does not include text of Ohly’s concerns beyond the company’s stated worry about pH-related fines.
