Board approves Lamont water‑main replacement permit after engineer review

Jackson County Board of Supervisors · May 19, 2026

Summary

The county engineer recommended and the board approved a utility permit allowing the City of Lamont to upsize its water main and connect a new municipal well; staff required DOT pavement notes and said the county portion covers only a few hundred feet near the Lamont recreation center.

County engineer Jayden Shekel presented plans submitted by the City of Lamont for a water‑main replacement to support a new municipal well and said staff "made all of our revisions" and recommended approval after the city updated the plans to include required notes and pavement standards. Jayden said the work begins near Midwest Legacy Beef at the Lamont recreation center and that only a few hundred feet of the project fall within county jurisdiction before it reaches city limits.

Supervisors moved and seconded approval and the motion carried. The engineer and staff will continue to coordinate on construction details with the city and ensure DOT pavement standards and service‑connection notes are included in final plans.
