Summary
At its May 13 meeting the Rockland Water & Sewer Utility approved vouchers, set repairs for Well No. 1 to begin the third week of June, and will investigate curb stop replacements and grants for wireless meters for new developments; the Hemp ordinance was placed on a future agenda.
The Rockland Water & Sewer Utility board convened at 7:55 p.m. on May 13 with President Jon Hohlfeld presiding. The board approved minutes and financial items before discussing infrastructure work and meter upgrades.
Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Cheryl Brumbly's minutes record that the board approved the April 8, 2025 minutes and the April treasurer's report. The board authorized payment of ACHs and checks #5577–5590 totaling $59,753.51; the vouchers motion was made by Trustee Bob Rueckheim and seconded by Trustee Linda Young, and the motion carried.
Under new business the minutes state that repairs to Well No. 1 pump house are scheduled to begin in the third week of June. The utility also plans to investigate replacement of curb stops and installation of new meters for a recent addition; staff will pursue grant opportunities to fund wireless meters for the Small Town and Birdd developments.
In old business the board instructed staff to pursue delinquent utility accounts, including shutoffs if residents remain delinquent, and said it is still awaiting action from Dan Arndt on a proposed property annexation to Rockland.
The utility board also asked that the village "Hemp ordinance" be placed on next month's agenda for further consideration. The water board adjourned at 8:35 p.m.; the adjournment motion was moved by Trustee Bob Rueckheim and seconded by Trustee Seth Hemmersbach.
What happens next: Well No.1 repairs are scheduled to begin in mid to late June; staff will report back on grant prospects for wireless meters and on progress with the annexation request.
