Senate Resolution No. urges the village of Downsville to consolidate its municipal water system due to significant public health and safety concerns. The resolution 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, further emphasizing the urgency of addressing the water system's deficiencies.
The resolution calls for the village of Downsville to take action to consolidate its water system to rectify these issues and ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. It also mandates that a copy of the resolution be sent to the mayor of Downsville to facilitate communication and prompt action on this critical matter.
