LCO Public Works

Background

LCO Public Works is committed to provide its customers with clean, safe and quality potable water.  Diligently, 5 employees manage 27 miles of water lines, 191 fire hydrants, 4 water storage tanks, 4 wells, and 2 pump houses to meet water health standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) along with the guidance of the United States Public Health Service's (USPHS) & Indian Health Services (IHS).  The LCO Public Works Department currently employs three licensed operators, two office personnel, and is overseen by Director, Willard Gouge.  Operators are certified through Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and frequently attend training as recommended by IHS.  

The New Post water system has two wells, approximately 150 feet deep, a pump house which pumps water back to the surface to be pumped by the water tower for consumer use and consumption.  Construction of the water tower enables fire-fighting capability that was previously unavailable to the community.  

100% of the population among the reservation utilizes groundwater, water originating from the aquifer beneath the Earth's surface, as its drinking water source.  Groundwater is susceptible to contamination from improper disposal or management of sewage, underground storage tanks, pesticides, fertilizers, garbage, automotive waste oil, and other toxic substances, as a result pose a direct threat to the health of the LCO tribal members if contamination occurs. 

To help ensure our drinking water source is safe, a Source Water Assessment Protection Plan (SWAPP) has been developed.  copies of this plan are available at either the LCO Public Works or LCO Conversation Department and it is currently being reevaluated to ensure accuracy and is up to date.
