The Senate Resolution urges the village of Downsville to consolidate its municipal water system due to significant public health and safety concerns. It highlights the importance of efficient water systems for environmental protection and human health, noting that consolidation can lead to cost savings, improved infrastructure, and operational efficiency. Recent fire suppression tests in Downsville revealed alarming results, including inadequate water pressure at a local school, which could hinder firefighting efforts and pose serious risks to public safety. Additionally, the water pressure was found to be below the standards required for human consumption, indicating a critical need for improvement.

The resolution emphasizes that low water pressure can result from various issues, including supply problems and infrastructure deficiencies, and it calls for action to address these challenges. By urging the village to consolidate its water system, the resolution aims to enhance the reliability and safety of the water supply for the community. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the mayor of Downsville to ensure that local leadership is aware of the Senate's request.
