Based on consultation with the DNR, municipal engineers, and Village staff, the boil water notice will remain in effect out of an abundance of caution until after the scheduled water tower repairs are completed.
This means the Village will remain under a boil water notice until at least late afternoon on Monday, June 1, 2026.
The water tower must be taken out of service for repair due to a failing expansion joint that is causing the tower to leak. This repair is necessary to prevent the potential for a catastrophic structural failure of the water tower.
In order to take the water tower out of service, the wells must be turned on to maintain water service. This creates additional pressure within the water system. To help relieve that pressure, pressure relief valves are being added at multiple points throughout the system.
Even with pressure relief measures in place on Friday, the pressure was still too great and caused a water main failure, which resulted in the entire system losing pressurization. To restore water service while the broken water main was being repaired, the water tower was placed back into service.
This process must be repeated Monday morning so the water tower can again be removed from the system and the necessary repairs can be completed. Additional staff and equipment are being brought in to help ensure this process goes more smoothly than it did on Friday.
However, given the risk that another issue could occur during this process, it is in the best interest of public safety to remain under the boil water advisory until we are certain the tower has been successfully isolated from the system and the repairs are complete.
Please continue to follow the boil water guidance. Any water used for drinking, preparing food or beverages, or oral hygiene should be brought to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute before use.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through this necessary repair process.
The Village is working to procure additional water for distribution and will make updates on when that can be picked up at our distribution location at 321 East Milwaukee St, Argyle, WI 53504 (Former First National Bank & Trust).
