ARTESIAN WELL FLOWING AGAIN!
The Town of Underhill contacted a local well driller who dug the well down 112 feet. Additional piping still needs to be installed...however you are able to drink from the temporary piping that's there at this time. Remember that the town was forced to shut down the well due to a complaint that was made. Many Berrylakers have visited this site throughout the years, and it's great that this local landmark is up and running again!
BERRY LAKE GRANT SPONSORED BY THE TOWN OF UNDERHILL
On June 16th, the Underhill Town Board tonight agreed with the majority of Berry Lake Stakeholder's Committee members (and BLPO members) to include an introductory paragraph to the recommendations being submitted to the DNR. It is understood that this is a request, and that this paragraph does not hold any legal authority. They changed the wording to say: "It is recommended that any public or private studies/grants of Berry Lake be brought before the stakeholders prior to execution of the study. This is requested to keep stakeholders and committee represented groups informed. A process is needed to provide adequate communication and planning between the study group and stakeholders before any studies are granted and undertaken. These studies can provide valuable information on a natural resource, but we must respect the rights and needs of the stakeholders in the process. We request that future studies be brought before the stakeholders before proceeding".
