Resolution 281-8-26: acknowledging Division of Drinking Water findings
Approved · 5-0
The mayor said a state rule in force since 1998 requires systems with more than 100 connections to have a second water source. Glenwood bought water rights for that purpose in 2015 but did not finish. The state notified the town in June 2025 and repeatedly afterward, and offered a Compliance Agreement/Enforcement Order. Declining would bring $5,000-a-day violations, then possible court receivership of the water system at the town's expense and loss of grant and low-interest loan eligibility. Engineers from Jones & DeMille said a storage tank would let the town draw more at peak use than its spring water right allows. The mayor wants three engineering firms to present options. The council passed the resolution unanimously.
