DENMARK, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A project to bring higher quality water to a Brown County community broke ground.
Work began Wednesday afternoon to include the village of Denmark to the Central Brown County Water Authority’s water distribution system.
The system supplies water from Lake Michigan to multiple communities, including Allouez, Bellevue, De Pere, Howard, Lawrence and Ledgeview.
The water is treated and pumped by Manitowoc Public Utilities in Manitowoc through a 65-mile long pipeline to each member community.
Last year, the village became the first community to join the authority since its inception in 1999.
Village leaders say this system will supply abundant, quality drinking water to meet the community’s growing needs.
The switch is expected to happen sometime in the fall.
