Update

Potable well testing in this area is continuing. The city is testing for Town VOCs and emerging contaminants as directed by the Wisconsin DNR. The city and our consultant, AECOM, are working in collaboration with the DNR on several studies to determine the best course of action as we move into remediation of the site. The City has applied for a Safe Drinking Water loan from the DNR to fund the installation of a water main to serve a number of the impacted properties.
