Dear Jacksonport Property Owner,
For the past several years, the Jacksonport Town Board has been
working in cooperation with the Door County Soil and Water
Conservation and Door County Health Departments to monitor, and seek
ways to improve, the quality of water at our beach in Lakeside Park.
A clean beach and safe, high quality drinking water are very important
to Jacksonport residents and visitors.
Potential sources of water contamination are our town’s older,
privately owned wastewater treatment systems. The Door County
Sanitarian Department has been working toward inspection of older
systems throughout the County. As a part of our efforts to identify
possible sources of beach water contamination, the Jacksonport Town
Board has asked to make the inspection of the older systems in the
core area of Jacksonport a top priority.
A public hearing was held on March 24, 2009 at which time Chris Olson
and Greg Thiede, of The Door County Sanitarian Department, explained
the purpose, potential cost, and benefits of the study. The reaction
of those in attendance was positive.
The cost of each sanitary inspection, of approximately $100, will be
billed to the owners of each property being inspected. Due to a
successful bidding process, we were able to keep expenses
significantly below the anticipated cost of $150-$200 per property
owner. You will have received a letter from the Door County
Sanitarian’s Office dated 3/27/09 with more detailed information
regarding the inspection process.
Thank you for your understanding of the importance of this survey to
the health and safety of Jacksonport residents and visitors. We
appreciate your cooperation and welcome your questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Aaron LeClair
Town Chairman
