City Hall issued a warning about the burst pipe and members of the city of Thorp’s Department of Public Works responded quickly to address the issue as they excavated and carted away dirt to make way for repairs.

The School District of Thorp’s Board of Education made the decision to forgo pursuing a referendum this year during their monthly meeting on Wednesday, January 8. The district’s Board of Education made the decision to wait until they have more information about what kind of referendum they wish to pursue, and what the public is willing to support.

A full Stanley City Council met on January 6 at City Hall to approve the proposal from Tamarack Wetland Services for the Wetland Delineation-Stanley Central WTP.

He also mentioned the need to verify that the pipeline between the existing plant and Well #3 isn’t situated in a wetland area.
