Stronghurst hears $2.5M river‑bottom well plan and approves test well contract
Summary
A presenter outlined a plan to drill a well in the Mississippi River bottom at an estimated $2.5 million; the board approved a $39,673 test-well contract with Brotcke Well & Pump while exploring a possible $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Systems grant.
Presenter Doug told the Village Board the recommended long-term solution is to drill a well in the Mississippi River bottom and pipe water to the existing treatment plant, estimating a total project cost of about $2.5 million.
Doug said the Emergency Community Water Assistance Systems Grant could possibly provide up to $1 million toward the project, with the remainder to be supported by a combination of grants and loans that may take about six months to arrange. After reviewing four drilling estimates, the board voted unanimously to hire Brotcke Well & Pump to drill a test well at the planned site for $39,673 to verify feasibility.
