Water report: storage near capacity; village to test service lines for lead under state mandate
Summary
Public works reported reservoir storage at about 39% (roughly 100 days of capacity at current rates) and noted ongoing system checks; trustees said the village will participate in state‑mandated testing of service lines for lead but funding for replacements is not specified.
A utilities report detailed current water levels and operations: storage tank capacity was nearly full, and overall supply stood around 38–40 percent, which the presenter said equated to roughly 100 days of supply at current use rates. Village staff noted they had paused a prior daily decline in levels after recent precipitation and operational changes to valve management.
Trustees also discussed a state notice about identifying and testing service lines for lead. The board said VRI (vendor) will test lines; trustees acknowledged that removal or replacement of any lead‑containing lines may require excavation and that state guidance provided the mandate but no dedicated funding was specified in the discussion. The village will notify affected residents and follow state procedures for testing and remediation planning.
