Marketing and Communications.  The BCRSD has a table at this week’s fair providing information. They will also be posting yard signs. Online information on the project is available at the BCRSD website and hard copies are available at Helmsburg General Store, Brown County Health Department, Brown County Public Library, submit Lake Lemon Conservancy District Office

Public Hearing – Sewer project. July 8, 2023, 10am Fairgrounds.  This is required by statute and will require legal notice in the paper.  Citizens can submit questions up to 4 days after the Hearing.  These questions and answers are part of the record and are to be considered in the approval process.  A decision to approve the project can also be challenged under federal and state laws that are intended to prevent waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement.

Strategy and Scope.  The BCRSDs Board (consisting of “appointed” officials” ) contracted for and approved a county-wide wastewater strategy with a scope that includes all residents and organizations (private/public) with septic systems.  There were no public meetings to gather citizen input on this plan.

Phase 1 of this sewer expansion project includes a Western Corridor (Helmsburg to Lake Lemon) and an Eastern Corridor (Helmsburt to Bean Blossom, to Woodland Lake).  I have no issues with the justification for the Western Corridor.

Joint Meeting.- HRSD and BCRSAD.  June 27, 2023, 6:00 p.m. – Community Foundation
