Announcement


January 8, 2021

On January 7, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. a contractor repairing a sanitary sewer lateral at 1925 New Pinery diverted approximately 750 gallons of sanitary sewage into a storm sewer inlet.  The storm sewer flows into Silver Lake and the location of the storm sewer outfall is in a marshy area that is not frequented by anyone that uses the ice for recreational purposes.  The potential for human exposure or contact is minimal.  The issue that caused the sanitary sewer overflow is being fixed and will not result in any further overflows.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Aaron Jahncke at 608-742-2176 ext. 325.
