The Pioneer Village Council met in special session and passed an ordinance to establish a water transmission utility. The ordinance will establish a new public utility in Pioneer, featuring raw water and wastewater/stormwater transmission with multiple purposes including providing services to AquaBounty Technologies and Pioneer North Industrial Park, providing additional fire protection for the village and an additional source of raw water for the village. At the moment, Pahl’s Ready Mix has a location at the industrial park and AquaBounty is constructing its facility there. The ordinance also contained an emergency clause, meaning it becomes effective immediately. The vote came after a 30-minute executive session.
