Clatonia’s Water Crisis Deepens | Lincoln News

Clatonia’s water crisis is heating up as the town faces mandatory conservation—again—after its main pump fails due to clogged well screens, letting sand and gravel wreak havoc on its mechanics. With only one well left running and no backup, shutting it down for four to five days to fix the problem means risking water cuts for everyone. The drilling company warns the pump could break again in a year if pushed further. This follows lifting a July boil-water advisory from the same malfunction—and comes as the village board pushes to secure $630,000 in federal funds for a new municipal well, after years of stalled efforts and a previous $23,000 cleanup that didn’t fix the core issue. A public hearing is set for August 20th at 7:30 PM to decide their future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
