Well |

IRONWOOD TOWNSHIP - June 16, 2011
Civic Center Manager, Brian Roehm and members of the Pat
O’Donnell Civic Center appeared at the Ironwood Township
Board of Trustees meeting yesterday.
Roehm and the board members want to sink a well at the
civic center. Roehm told the Township Trustees that the
winter water bill is approximately $8000. During the
summer when there is no ice skating the water bill is
$375. Roehm stated that the center doesn’t use anywhere
near 375 billed by the Township.
The Township Supervisor, Kim Mattson told Roehm that the
water franchise for the Township now belonged to the
Gogebic Range Water Authority, and it was the GRWA that
would have to approve the well.
Jean Verbos the Administrator of the GRWA happened to be
at the meeting and told the Board Members that they
would have to submit a profit and loss statement to the
GRWA, showing that the water bill is proving to be a
hardship. She also wanted to know who would sink the
well and how much it was going to cost.
Roehm said that the cost was not be made public at this
time. Accompanying Roehm was board member Jim Collins
and Board President, Joe Metzger. They told the Township
Trustees that although the Civic Center is owned by the
City of Ironwood it serves the people of the entire
county. Verbos acknowledged that, and stated “I think
you should be commended for your new manager.”
The center uses 36,000 gallons of water for making ice.
That is the water that they hope to replace with a well.
The Township Trustees were told that the well would only
be used to provide water to flood the rink for ice
skating and other non non-potable purposes.
Jim Collins reminded the group that when the plans for
the civic center were made that the blueprints referred
to the center as the Gogebic County Recreational
Facility.”
Trustee ob Frederickson asked if any Township Kids were
on the State Champion Team. He was told yes and that
there were players from Mercer to Marenisco on the team.
All communities, including the Township enjoy the
benefits of the center, however, the Civic Center is
solely supported by the city taxpayers. |
