The report said Westlawn's lift station work is progressing and that Amazon has had its public utilities tested and accepted to the point that most public utilities are in and ready. Heyday construction has been delayed slightly while right-of-way issues are resolved but is expected to start in July or August, the engineer said.

Staff and the engineer described ongoing work on an interceptor (referred to in staff comments as the farm interceptor between the Old Farm Golf Course and Pine Meadow Farms development). Engineers and staff are coordinating with both developers to finalize alignment and prepare for bidding; one engineer said the aim is to avoid rework and to locate the interceptor so future developers do not have to move it later. Staff said they expected to present an alignment back to the commission at the next meeting and to proceed with developer agreements.

Commissioners raised concerns about cost volatility and change orders. One commissioner pressed that if significant change orders are required the developer should bear the cost; staff and the engineer agreed that developer agreements and funding options are under active discussion and that some aspects (material-cost volatility, contractor willingness) could affect bidding and contracting strategies. Ehlers — a municipal-finance consultant — will present to the commission in August on funding and rate impacts, staff said.

No formal commission action was taken; the item was informational and will be revisited as developer agreements and final alignment are refined.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7/9/2025 Utility Commission","oneSentenceSummary","At the July 9 meeting the commission received an engineer's report covering multiple developer projects and system connections, including a farm-interceptor alignment that staff said they expect to bring back to the next meeting for further discussion.","taxTitle","Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin","taxId",72712,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6175231,"Commission approves zero-lot-line application for 221 West Parkview over shared sewer lateral",58,866000,924000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a&start=866&end=924","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a/thumbnail_866000.jpg","/articles/6175231/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Commission-approves-zero-lot-line-application-for-221-West-Parkview-over-shared-sewer-lateral","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175231-b4f3b61581e0257eac33173260e19db2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033233&Signature=KNMIEMoLm3Q5poxVC4wmDX6kHO7Dfyd0A5VVD~SjLnd8u4-akEkCdBBxN85evVT9u5ONIloLbxwgrwubBi37DzVFud3u0O1pefSb1dhCUuYsCq61TamCG~fuBhzJfgz1yw9LxY7Au1~Uj1ItvoGgCQDPHNJPiqHzEGyy9F8lBPUS6fE5YRlEF4peEpTyLLAcKAs64baRYf3UahayhPkF6Jg8s69vPqL~FMSP0KK9m0HuPoGcQUYjA0BqlRjcG9-qIcnMWvWLeftnloLlEoSiHEpelEVxJweR8iFMUxIXFtKz4~QhjC-gHM9Vu4g6HmACuJwHTu9WCKB5DBLYOLbinQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Utility Commission on July 9 approved a zero-lot-line application for 221 West Parkview after village staff reported the site complies with local utility rules and includes an agreement addressing a shared sanitary sewer lateral.

Village staff member (unnamed) told the commission the application includes two separate water services that meet the village's rules and that the homeowners have an agreement acknowledging the shared lateral and that maintenance would be the responsibility of both property owners.

The staff report noted the zero-lot-line application also required plan-commission review for site approvals; staff said the plan-commission would consider the item later the same evening. Commissioners moved and seconded the approval; the motion carried with an affirmative voice vote and no abstentions.

The village did not specify any additional conditions tied to the approval beyond the recorded shared-lateral agreement on file with the water-utility records.","The Utility Commission approved a zero-lot-line application for 221 West Parkview after staff reported the properties have two separate water services, a shared sanitary sewer lateral and an agreement assigning maintenance responsibility to both homeowners; plan-commission review of the lot-split is scheduled later the same day.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6175236,"Utility Commission hears update on Well 2 building rehab, generator and timeline",204,102000,306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a&start=102&end=306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a/thumbnail_102000.jpg","/articles/6175236/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Utility-Commission-hears-update-on-Well-2-building-rehab-generator-and-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175236-cc54c5b7fa2a455ea6e80d17cde2ae7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033233&Signature=kH17tx5qnuO4k~XWKjNBvmJFSsC29AHN~II7ZAR0k4esD8YM1DAwGeAsFdKj-vTISqqsT-zHqYbcBCpIyaR4OJx7C0B5l8loq1GnvUWOj1jGGnSjcTMmplTqxWGXzujmI503sTubuA7UghAgCsusWbq9cXTgdJrfeW07zwfIMhHnxvSkZ6XZDxz0KtLNWVKZZZSPe7Ulh7tEKBJs4qrKzygVrgoUCcXrBS7sO1vE7-Kk6IFSCYiTHAMs2uRtKIbQdDLkw2N1GOYys9bwlNlW~vdNTusg2zLn4kFLn4jMJXIkHZs6CGP0orkYdDPknGHUEG9DWVWfo~FD9xzP7TcT3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Utility Commission on July 9 heard a detailed update from Strand engineers on the planned replacement of the Well 2 pump building, including design status, required regulatory approvals and a preliminary construction timetable.

The project is being driven by sanitary-survey findings from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that identified elements of the current building that no longer meet modern requirements, Strand engineer Nate Iwanowski said. \"We're at about 60% design,\" Iwanowski said, and the team has submitted a Public Service Commission application and expects to finalize design in the fall before bidding in winter.

The new masonry-block building will be about 555 square feet with three rooms: a pump room and two separate chemical rooms to store chlorine and fluoride. The pump will be replaced with a new unit and a variable-frequency drive intended to improve energy efficiency. A new 150-kilowatt natural-gas generator is planned outside the building in a Class 2 sound attenuating enclosure; based on the generator data sheets, Iwanowski said sound at the property line would be \"about 72 decibels, about the sound of a vacuum cleaner.\"

Strand described site work including cutting a new driveway, sidewalk and repaving the street where old water main connections will be replaced and a new main installed slightly adjacent to the existing route. After final design the village will submit the project to the Wisconsin DNR as part of the water system plan approval process, Iwanowski said; construction could begin early 2026 and extend into early 2027 depending on lead times for major equipment.

Commissioners and staff asked about security and sustainability. Village staff member Charlie said generator access panels would be locked and that the project will include cameras and site access monitoring as part of a broader program to add camera coverage at village wells; he said the village will work with Johnson Block (the village IT service) on that work. Solar panels were discussed briefly but commissioners and staff said the small roof area, multiple roof slopes and long payback for a relatively small panel array made solar less practical for this specific facility.

Commissioners also discussed coordination with planned street work: replacing the water service will require cutting into the street and staff said the plan is to coordinate full water-main upsizing when the adjacent road reconstruction (Ollie) occurs in 2027 to get better pricing and reduce repeated pavement work.

No formal action was taken on the Well 2 design at the July 9 meeting; Strand requested public-review submissions and indicated plan-commission review of the site was scheduled later the same day. The commission directed staff and consultants to continue final design, pursue PSC and DNR approvals and include security cameras and locked generator access as part of the project.","Engineers from Strand reported the Well 2 facility is in design (~60%), driven by Wisconsin DNR sanitary-survey requirements; project includes a new 555-square-foot building, separate chemical rooms, a 150-kilowatt natural-gas generator and a projected construction window of early 2026 into early 2027.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6175215,"Director's report: Verizon lease on Water Tower 3, valve exercising and Fireman's Park service completed",45,1310000,1355000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a&start=1310&end=1355","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a/thumbnail_1310000.jpg","/articles/6175215/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Directors-report-Verizon-lease-on-Water-Tower-3-valve-exercising-and-Firemans-Park-service-completed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175215-1ccbc603fdc2b4f4d05be609a90865b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033233&Signature=QNKVltS9OtuV-U9bJ~hsh1XBe8ueKb6FtqDykXMfVUCTSKYhDek2oC4blV05OrgiMAKhQVO2Hw0g88KsPoKTqzw7UzqvBsUrrWzSxV1stx-Z3mjuWa44BgCPmco16McANXOfa3nAE43L3AyPBRGqEsWJMlfrzIRFt67s~ka7HWooMPjkofKCpItPf6UVOSlUT3RM5-qwR51Bv7ZbvtLb-k-I4j4iIUg9DLru6YCZyBy9nq3b-~2leJgUTjDuqNiNdjU6XpLYd13VjtLFC8-~0hcqzQLDVCxgvAubGw38L5jjq9gDqon9HrFBymi290XTT1CDBjj4N8oiODnOA3-vZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the July 9 meeting staff provided operations updates including execution of the village's portion of a lease with Verizon for Water Tower 3, ongoing valve exercising tied to next year's street projects and completion of a new water service at Fireman's Park.

Staff said the village executed its side of the Verizon lease and would send the agreement to Verizon for their execution; one final permit and a contractor start date remained pending. The village continues valve exercising, prioritizing streets anticipated for pulverize-and-reconstruct paving next year so valves are known to be operable before pavement work.

Staff also reported the water service at Fireman's Park was completed the previous Monday; a new shutoff and blowoff are in place. During the work crews uncovered an older buried valve (staff referred to it as dating to 1906) that had not been functioning; after excavation the valve now works and was exercised successfully.

These items were presented as informational updates; commissioners asked no follow-up action beyond continued operations and reporting.","Staff reported the village executed its side of a lease with Verizon for Water Tower 3, continued valve exercising ahead of planned pavements, and completed a water service tie at Fireman's Park that included a newly working valve discovered under older pavement.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6175220,"Commission approves submittal of village DNR report scoring \"A\" to Wisconsin DNR",46,810000,856000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a&start=810&end=856","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5360317-2e693deb0f44206b4af2919d2dd3643a/thumbnail_810000.jpg","/articles/6175220/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Commission-approves-submittal-of-village-DNR-report-scoring-A-to-Wisconsin-DNR","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175220-108c7aea729077fd1a08e4b9dc2451f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033233&Signature=o0tqatssOqMPAhrskdLrAzgws9eQPRgqpxUPWPjLSImU0KSot6AZvyShrYcJOxshl98Aoerh9HapuiSU25m6tVQOC~QVJ7GdJ3ooVVY43mZr0bjWXM32NYm8XNfdJdwQx3jUgVAh7YDt~JLhFWLZwa-CQfkzt0OWvxgDkoe00MsH578~Dk33g0ygw9Nmz65wDLVPqlvz4tbPtLjnmSzdetfBSZwzy8vgJbholgnjdqBe8LAhjn8mXyh~q0o0glz7jCYxWq43o4wpdEexd8~rpzdQP2Jybg9rk57lBOaQW1hu93i4NKZLB2ZjJwKEgNXIpNcJtNY4-7BspOtKK3QHow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village staff told the Utility Commission on July 9 that the village's recent DNR reporting earned an \"A\" score — 100 points out of 100 — and requested the commission's retroactive approval to submit the report to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
