Fitchburg, WI Board of Public Works 12-1-25

The Fitchburg Board of Public Works meeting on December 1, 2025, focused primarily on updates to the city's water supply service area plan, an addendum to the 2018 water system master plan. Strand Associates presented the plan, which complies with Wisconsin DNR code NR854, ensuring adequate water supply for current and future needs. Key projects include the construction of new wells and a water tower to support the city's three pressure zones, with plans for redundancy and capacity to meet 2035 demand projections. The board also discussed snow removal operations, prioritization of bus stop clearing, and potential adjustments to alternate side parking ordinances. Additionally, the board approved a budget amendment to reallocate staffing resources, including adding a full-time finance specialist for procurement and budget support and an LTE building inspector. A bid for the police services facility audio-video system was rejected due to costs exceeding the budget, with plans to rebid in early 2026.
