Reallocate funding from the Ground Storage Reservoir to Well 7 Siting Study- Public Works Director Crofoot explained the ground storage reservoir would not need to be repainted. The ground storage reservoir will be abandoned as it is on the site of future well #7. The request is for the funds that were allocated to painting the ground storage reservoir to be reallocated to the siting study for well #7. The siting study was budgeted in the CIP for 2027. By moving ahead with the siting study in 2026, this will start the process that is needed to approve a new well including coordination with the DNR and the Public Service Commission. The goal is to have well #7 operational by 2030. Discussion ensured regarding the cost and financing of well #7 and having a plan of communication to help the residents stay informed throughout the process.
