Public Works
The Public Works Department is the cornerstone of local government serving the residents of the Village of Winneconne in many different ways. Each section within the Department reflects a specific community’s needs directly impacting all the residents in the Village. In general, the Department maintains municipal property and provides essential resources and services. This includes the operation and maintenance of the Village’s 17.2 miles of roads, clean water system, wastewater system, refuse and recycling pick up, and parks and cemetery development.
The Public Works Department has a less noticeable side which provides many necessary services such as mapping and assisting in the plans for Village public improvements and infrastructure development projects. The Public Works Director manages the staff, daily operations, code enforcement, emergency services and special projects in order to maintain a basic quality of life for residents. All the work done on this side of the department is the driving force behind the designing, planning, and management for projects within the Village.

OVERFLOW PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice is hereby given pursuant of s. NR 210.21 (5) that the Village of Winneconne Wastewater Treatment Facility experienced a treatment facility overflow (TFO) event from 5:15 pm on August 28th2018 until 5:30 pm on August 28th 2018. Water overflowed the aerated grit chamber and reached a channel leading to the Wolf River.
The TFO is the result of excessive precipitation on already saturated ground which in-flowed and infiltrated into the sanitary collection sewer system, hydraulically exceeding the design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant. Village staff responded to the high flow conditions which mitigated the impacts to public health, the environment, and property. The TFO event was reported to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources pursuant of NR 210.21 (4).
