District flags well, generator and lagoon repairs in levy plan
Summary
The superintendent said the levy would include $50,000 to update a 17-year-old well motor and controls, a $0–$100,000 lagoon contingency, and roughly $25,000 for a generator for the well pump to maintain service during outages.
Infrastructure needs were a recurring point in the presentation. The superintendent said the well motor and controls are aging and proposed "Update well motor and controls approximately $50,000." He also described a standing contingency for the lagoon project and the potential need to budget for a replacement pump because the current 15-horsepower pump is old.
On backup power, the superintendent described two approaches: adding a pressure tank system or providing generator backup. "To get us fully capable with our elementary school, a 150 kilowatt generator system" was noted as one option, and the superintendent said a smaller ~20 kW generator could run the well pump.
The board discussed prioritizing water supply and power in emergencies and directed staff to include these items in the planning documents shown to voters.
