NRDs Encourage Well Owners to Address Concerns Early

NRDs Encourage Well Owners to Address Concerns Early

HARTINGTON – The region has been experiencing lower than average rainfall over the last several months and one heavy irrigation pumping season could result in significant declines in groundwater levels. Dry conditions lead to increased irrigation use, which puts increased pressure on the groundwater resources of the district, and potentially results in decreased groundwater recharge. It is important to keep in mind how pumping may affect other groundwater users. Conservation of water resources should be a high priority for all. 07/04/2023 06:00 PM

Construction Update

Construction Update

With the asbestos removal completed recently at the Laurel- Concord-Coleridge School, the last area of demolition was set to begin. The demolition of the area of the classrooms leading to the kitchen and the hall that ran parallel to the kitchen has now begun. As Detlefsen Construction began the work, a couple of discoveries were made in the process – a green wall and a tunnel. Initial contacts to LCC alumni were made to see if answers could be found. Consensus was that the green wall was part of a storage closet off the old shop/old gym in the 1908 building. The tunnel where pipes were found was more than likely a tunnel that could be used for maintenance purposes. 07/04/2023 06:00 PM
