A. Request for Walnut Grove Speed Controls
A speed study was completed showing 404 analyzed vehicles with a 4% enforceable
violation rate, primarily going 31 mph. Several members expressed their view that the traffic
was not heavy and noted that average speeds were within reasonable limits. Discussion
indicated standalone traffic management solutions were adequate.
Motion by Mueller, second by Plese, to deny the request for additional speed or traffic
controls along Walnut Grove Drive, and recommendation to Village Board of the same.
The motion carried unanimously.
B. Richmond School plans to address ongoing utility issues
Engineer Neitzel and the committee discussed ongoing utility issues at Richmond School,
including ongoing investigations and mitigations concerning leaking and increased water
usage. Administrator Nickolaus noted they would be providing the new grounds manager
a previous letter Lisbon had sent communicating ongoing concerns. Coordination with
school administration will continue to ascertain increased water usage at the school, and
follow-up with grounds supervisors will attempt to mitigate concerns. No action was taken.
C. Kunkel proposal for Sewer Area Study & possible gravity sewer extension
Don Neitzel presented a sewer area study draft, outlines potential gravity sewer extensions
and capacity based on current infrastructure agreements with Sussex (estimating approx.
600 REUs). Outlined were service zones leading to the southwestern area, followed by east
and west sewer boundary discussions from Richmond Road, extending toward adjacent
subdivisions and potential dwelling zones. A phased approach might execute these
extensions feasibly while managing easement negotiation needs. Richmond Elementary
School could showcase tract ground infiltration atypical possibly attributed to septic issues
as mentioned by staff. Exploration of phased completion initiated with specific connection
points recommended. Marc Moonen reiterated phase interests posed by business
developers on sewer alignment project toward School and across intersections.
Motion by Mueller, second by Plese, to authorize Kunkel to put together a cost estimate for
construction and proposal for service fees regarding possible gravity sewer extension, and
recommendation to Village Board of the same. The motion carried unanimously.

A. TAC Meeting Update
Administrator Nickolaus recapped the recent TAC meeting outcomes focusing on
installation of required meters in Business Park East and a similar installation for

Menomonee Falls, noting potential cost burdens being distributed fairly. Ongoing actions
include isolating I & I and a metering project. No action taken.
B. 2025 Sussex Wastewater Treatment Facility Project Agreement
Presented was the agreement pertained to cost allocations and partnership priorities in
shared usage project with Sussex. The evaluations outlined Lisbon’s earmarked budget and
cost share estimated at $632,077 for the agreed rehabilitation.
Motion by Mueller, second by Plese, to recommend to the village board the approval of the
2025 Sussex wastewater treatment facility rehabilitation project. The motion carried
unanimously.
C. Create policy/procedure for citizen request for traffic/speed controls
A draft policy encompassing experiences from neighboring municipalities was delved into.
Pertinent additions suggested were to bridge implementation from citizen inputs to staff's
compiling assessments efficiently while working within DOT mandates. Continued staff
research is needed to bring back a starting outline for the committee to review at a future
meeting. No action taken.
Items for next Public Works & Utility agenda
Clerk Cappozzo reviewed items noted for the next meeting’s agenda. No additional items
added.

MEMORANDUM
September 12, 2024
To: Village of Lisbon Utility Committee
From: Don Neitzel
Re: Monthly Report
The monthly engineer’s report for the Village of Lisbon Utility Committee is as follows:
August 2024 Flows – Flows for the Jeanine and Plainview Lift Stations were back to
normal during the month of August, with an average flow of 20 GPM (average 27,000
GPD) for Jeanine and 22 GPM (average 31,000 GPD) for Plainview. Willow Springs
flows were also down, with an average flow of 16 GPM and 25,000 GPD for the
month of August. (see attached graphs for historical flows and current month).
Richmond School Lift Station – The lift station had a total run time of 36 hours for
the month or an average of 0.2 hours (Pump #1) and 0.3 hours Pump #2) of run time
per day. The well reading for the month of August was 16,000 gallons and for the
prior month of July it was 71,300, so water usage has dropped significantly from what
has been used the last three months. The calculated sewer flow for the month of July
was 36,000 gallons (see attached water usage chart and sewer flow information)
I did check with Richmond School Bldg. & Grounds Super. (Adam) on the increased
water usage during the months of May, June, & July. He stated that they had been
pressure washing all of the furniture from the School, along with doing work in the
bathrooms which has required a fair amount of water. So that would explain the
increase water usage overall the last few months. As previously mentioned, water
usage has dropped at the School during the month of August.
I provided Adam a copy of the letter that went out to the School regarding the
Inflow/Infiltration issue and the required measures that the Village wanted the School
to take to investigate this issue. I let him know that the previous person in his position
had completed the sewer televising and started looking at roof drain connections, but
did not complete the investigation. Adam informed me that he began looking at some
of the roof drains when he had time during the last month and feels he found at least a
couple that he feels are connected to the sanitary sewer. We met with him on
September 11th to look at a couple of these locations, as well as looking at places
where some may discharge outside of the School. While doing this there was at least
one storm outfall that is shown on a plan that could not be found. After spending a
couple of hours with us, Adam needs to get onto other things. We will be scheduling
to meet with him again to continue going through the School and investigating any
potential cross connections to the sanitary sewer. Prior to our next meeting we will
assemble one plan from the 3 different sets of plans of the School, showing the
location of the sanitary sewer, roof drains, storm outfalls, etc… so we have something
to work off of and mark-up while going through the School with him.
Fire station Well – The water usage for the month of August 2024 was 2,000 gallons
while the water usage in the month of July was 1,900 gallons. (see attached water
usage chart).
Caseys Well – The water usage at Casey’s for the month of August was 26,645
gallons while the water usage in the month of June was 18,920 gallons, which remains
in-line with what was seen over the course of 2023 (see attached water usage chart).
Sewer System Maps (GIS) –No GIS updates for the month.
CMOM Update – A draft copy of the updated CMOM will be provided for
the September meeting.
Business Park East Sewer Flow Meter Install – As of the date of this report,
I have left two messages for the Tom Dimoff, Superintendent of Utilities for
the Village of Menomonee Falls, regarding combining efforts to install the
meter at Business East and at Silver Spring Estates. I have not heard anything
back as of today. I will reach out to the Engineering Department at the Village
to see if there is someone else, I should speak to regarding this. Let me try this
again.
