Trustees approve moving forward on development of a shallow Well #3
Summary
After positive test results, the board authorized advancing design and procurement for a shallow Well #3: staff will apply for a DNR drinking-water grant by June 30, seek drilling bids this fall or early winter, and aim to build a well house in spring 2026.
Village President Robin Reid opened discussion of the village’s long-term water plan after Greg Droessler reported favorable results from a recent test well.
"The test well results were good," the record states, and Droessler outlined a sequence of next steps: submit a State Drinking Grant application to the Wisconsin DNR by June 30; advertise and accept bids to drill this fall or early winter; complete final testing of Well #3; advertise and accept bids for a well house; and construct the well house in spring 2026. Jewell Associates Engineers will finalize agreements and prepare a Well House Protection Agreement.
Trustee Damian Barta moved to proceed with development of a shallow Well #3 as designated; Trustee Jeannie McCarville seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote.
The decision directs staff and consultants to begin grant application and procurement activity; the board did not set a construction contract award or a budget appropriation in the same motion. The DNR grant application deadline cited in the discussion is June 30. The engineering firm named in the record to finalize agreements is Jewell Associates Engineers.
Next steps recorded by the board: submit the DNR grant application, solicit drilling bids in the fall/early winter window, perform final well testing, solicit well-house bids, and plan well house construction for spring 2026.
