Waldo utility board approves $3,350 pressure‑tank replacement, adopts delinquency policy
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board approved replacing an aging pressure tank for $3,350, adopted a formal utility policy for delinquent accounts, confirmed its annual CMAR resolution and approved $22,285.67 in vouchers.
The Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board on May 12 approved replacing a failing pressure tank, adopted a new utility policy and procedures for delinquent accounts and confirmed its annual Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR).
Operator‑in‑Charge Bruce Neerhof reported the existing pressure tank was not maintaining steady pressure and is likely original, which he said was causing fluctuating water‑tower levels. President Travis Thomas moved to accept a Municipal Well & Pump quote of $3,350 to replace the tank; Trustee Jerome Hammarlund seconded the motion and it carried.
The board also voted to adopt a formal Utility Policy and Procedures intended to provide staff with a consistent process for managing delinquent utility accounts. President Thomas said the policy was necessary to ensure the village acts responsibly in managing its finances; Trustee Hammarlund moved approval and Trustee Josh Behr seconded.
Trustee Hammarlund moved and President Thomas seconded confirmation of Resolution 2025‑07, the annual CMAR results; the motion carried. The board reviewed the April operations and lab report: staff reported all effluent parameters met limits, phosphorus remained below effluent limits, and flow was sufficient that no water was added to the head end of the septic tanks. Energenecs calibrated the mag meter at the pumphouse per PSC code and checked water‑tower parameters; a failed pulse board on the Mission unit is being replaced under warranty. The village submitted its annual operational evaluation report for phosphorus under WPEDS and is awaiting a response from the DNR. Staff also noted extremely high water usage at the house next to the service station on Highway 57.
On financial business, Trustee Hammarlund moved to approve vouchers 9360–9369 totaling $22,285.67; Trustee Dennis Reinemann seconded and the motion carried. President Thomas moved to approve the April Treasurer’s report as presented; Trustee Hammarlund seconded and it carried.
President Thomas reported that two broken cast‑iron inlet frames were found during State Highway 28 construction; each cost about $1,600 to replace. Thomas said Sheboygan County ultimately agreed to cover the full cost and the replacements were completed. Trustee Hammarlund moved to adjourn at 7:35 p.m.; Trustee Josh Behr seconded.
