Board approves revised water-bacteria testing policy

Vernon County Board of Health · April 10, 2025

Summary

The board voted to adopt a streamlined policy and procedure for water-bacteria testing after staff presented edits and QC/QA updates; the prior policy will be voided following approval.

The board approved a newly revised policy and procedure governing county water-bacteria testing after staff described a condensed, more user-friendly document and updated quality-control steps. The director asked for a motion: "So I would need a motion to approve the new, water bacteria policy." A motion and second were called and the vote was carried by voice: "All the same side, motion carried."

Staff said the new policy replaces the old 20-plus-page document and reflects changes in lab partnerships and updated QC/QA checks; the previous policy will be voided once the new policy is adopted. The board heard brief questions from members and did not request additional changes before approval.
