Clancy residents oppose test well

The future of the Clancy Water and Sewer District’s plan for a test well remains unresolved as Clancy residents both in and out of the district voiced their staunch opposition to the Marks Ranch test site at the September meeting.

Property owners and officials with the Red Cliff Estates Homeowners Association stated they would fight against any proposal to build a test well, or centralized well system, on the Marks Ranch property in Clancy.

Marks Ranch became the newest proposed site after the Clancy School Board of Trustees voted against building a test well on school property in August. The need for a test well stems from the District’s plan to build a centralized water system to solve the water quality problems due to elevated levels of uranium and nitrites in some of Clancy’s wells.
