Clancy Water and Sewer seeks solution

Water woes continue for the Clancy Water and Sewer District, which is now seeking a site for a third test well with the hopes of one day addressing the nitrate contamination in the town’s private well systems with a clean central water and sewer system.

The town’s nitrate contamination results from individual septic systems constructed in close proximity to private wells.

In March, it appeared that the eight year search for clean water had come to an end, when the district’s second test well produced 200 gallons of water per minute – which was more than the district needed to be sustainable.
