Clancy Water Board, school to meet on well

The Clancy Water and Sewer District Board and Clancy Elementary School appear to be headed toward a pivotal conversation at the school board’s Feb. 14 meeting.

The Water and Sewer Board feels that the school’s participation in a proposed community water system is essential to the project’s success. “It’s crucial,” President Lori Gilliland stated at the board’s Jan. 24 meeting.

Clancy Elementary School has four wells in use. One provides water to the school building, while the others are for irrigation. Hydrologists contracted by the Water and Sewer Board have determined that the school’s water supply is sufficient to support the community water system. Additionally, initial tests indicate that the school’s water is safe to drink.
