Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO), stands out as a powerful solution for purifying water by effectively removing contaminants and improving overall quality. This innovation is particularly useful for municipalities looking to meet stringent water safety standards and ensure the health of their communities.
McMahon Engineering installed a groundbreaking project in the Village of Winneconne, marking only the third municipal installation of its kind in the state. This project highlights the importance of RO technology in resolving challenging drinking water compliance issues and delivering a sustainable solution. Read more here.
Deduct Meter Program
The Village discontinued the original deduct meter program in 2023 and implemented a new program in 2024. Residents who previously participated were required to reapply for the 2024 program. If you are interested in the deduct meter program, please review the information below and consult Winneconne Municipal Code Chapter 518, Article III, §518-46.
New deduct meters may be installed when all requirements are met:- Meter must be purchased at cost from the Village of Winneconne or an authorized plumber.
- Meter must be hard-lined to the interior water system (after the primary water meter) on non-consumable lines, in compliance with all applicable statutes including but not limited to Wisconsin Administrative Code SPS 381–387 and DNR cross-connection control standards.
- No plumbing line that returns water to the residential sewer system may be in-line, cross-connected, or downstream of the deduct meter.
- An exterior-mounted reading puck of the same model and manufacturer as the primary water meter must be installed at the same location.
- Before credits can be applied, the installation must be inspected by an authorized Public Works representative and approved. Once accepted, the meter will be added to the Village utility record system by the Clerk/Public Works Director.
Current Deduct Program Costs
- Inspection and Annual Fee: $25.00
- New Meter: $170.00
- New Radio: $170.00
