Council: storage shortfall remains; Lakeside water tower still required

May 7, 2025

Council members and the town engineer reported that Rauch's Well 4R proposal does not resolve the town's storage deficit and that Lakeside remains responsible for constructing a water tower; the proposal also reportedly fails to meet one DRRA requirement.

Town Engineer Katherine McAllister and council members reiterated that the Rauch proposal to install Well 4R would increase production but would not address the town's storage capacity shortfall.

No timeline for Lakeside's tower construction was recorded in the workshop minutes.
