Wastewater Operations Manager Tim Reel explained how they have been improving their GIS
information dashboard and tools to help track their data for DNR compliance and additionally track
assets and maintenance needs. They would like to move into also tracking RECs which is
information they are asked for often and they would like to keep the televised footage and reporting
data on the system. Reel added that RECs are based on meter size and their goal is to establish
long-term capacity estimates at their lift stations. Mead and Hunt is a sole source provider and
these options for upgrading this year are included at not to exceed $40,000 contract amount.

MEMORANDUM
DEPARTMENT - WASTEWATER
Date: June 16, 2026
To: Mayor, Common Council and Utility Committee
From: Tim Reel, Wastewater Operations Manager
Re: Resolution 26-R3380, Approval of 2025 WDNR CMAR
RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic Goal - Provide and Foster Safe and Clean Water
BACKGROUND
The Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) is a yearly report required by the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). The purpose of the (CMAR) is to evaluate the overall
operational status of the Wastewater Utility. It does this by evaluating criteria for process performance,
hydraulic loadings, financial management, staffing and collection system operations. The grade received
in each specific category provides feedback to the Owner that could serve to identify operational needs
or deficiencies. Further, the requirement to pass a Resolution by a community’s governing body is a
means to promote communication between decision makers and operating staff. The CMAR program
also encourages actions that:
Promote the owners’ awareness and responsibility for wastewater collection and treatment
needs.
Maximize the useful life of wastewater treatment systems through improved operation &
maintenance.
Initiate formal planning, design and construction for system upgrades.
Attached is the 2025 CMAR for your review. You will note on the Summary Page our grade value is an A
or 4.0 for the year. The nine categories of the report and their grade values are as follows:
Influent A or 4.0
BOD/CBOD A or 4.0
TSS A or 4.0
Phosphorus A or 4.0
Biosolids A or 4.0
Staffing/PM A or 4.0
Operator Certification A or 4.0
Financial A or 4.0
Collection A or 4.0

If No, please explain:
3. Treatment Problems
3.1 What problems, if any, were experienced over the last year that threatened treatment?
Due to foaming in the aeration basins and cold conditions we ended up having frozen conditions
in the aeration effluent channels. This led to a condition where Microthrix thrived. In order to
combat the Microthrix we increased wasting. Increased wasting subsequently led to elevated
levels of ammonia in the effluent. The end result was that we ran at a higher than normal
ammonia effluent levels from mid February thru mid March. During this time we were able to
resuspend solid material in the aeration effluent channels to avoid a significant repeat event.

COMMITTEE REPORT – June 2026
Utility Billing
Seasonal Billing Adjustments – Seasonal adjustments beginning in June have been implemented for
residential customer utility bills.
• Wastewater volume charges are based on water meter readings. For residential customers only,
for the months of June through October the wastewater volume is based on the February through
April average (unless actual summer water usage is less).
Residential Sales Tax Exemption – Last fall a new state law made electric sales tax exempt to
residential customers year-round. Previously, residential customers paid sales tax on electricity for the
six summer months of May to October. In 2025, our Oconomowoc residential customers collectively paid
about $287,000 of sales tax on their electric utility bills.
2027 Budget Preparation – Utility staff is actively working on accumulating the detail information
needed to prepare the 2027 operating budget. This includes utility crew providing details on operating
expense adjustments, reviewing changing trends in number of customers and average consumption, and
the projected spending on current/future capital infrastructure projects.

COMMITTEE REPORT – June 2026
Oconomowoc Electric Utility
Did you know?
Last year, during the capital long-term financial planning process, OU identified the need to replace
our existing transformer #8 at Cooney substation, in 2029, with a new substation transformer. The
existing transformer is approaching 50 years old and is showing its age. With lead times for
substation transformers approaching 3 years (from the time of order), the electric utility needs to
begin the process to 1) identify the new transformer size and create its design specifications, 2)
create a scope document for the project, 3) prepare a preliminary design and layout, 4) estimate the
value of the work, and 5) apply for a Certificate of Authority (CA) with the PSC of Wisconsin. Since
this type of project is very unique and specialized, OU will hire an engineering design firm who
regularly does this type of work for utilities. The electric utility has asked for some accelerated capital
funding for the 2027 budget, in the amount of $100,000, to have an engineering firm handle these
items for the utility. We plan to put out the RFP for this work sometime in the 3rd/4th quarter of 2026.
The high-level estimated value of this project is nearly $3,000,000.

Highlighted Report: Annual Water Quality Report
All community water systems are required to provide an annual Consumer Confidence
Report (CCR) on the status of the drinking water provided. The CCR must be mailed to all
water customers every year before July 1st. The report must also be made available at local
buildings, including the Utilities office, City Hall, the Community Center, the library, both
hospitals, the police department, and at Western Lakes Fire Stations. The report requires any
water sample detects from the previous year’s sample results. Because some contaminants
are only sampled for certain years, the water quality report includes a rolling 5-years’ worth of
water sample data. The report requires a table of results to list all detected compounds, the
corresponding maximum contaminant level (MCL), if the result is a violation of the drinking
water standard, and the likely source of the contaminant. Some of the information listed in the
report can help customers understand how your drinking water can affect your health. Some
of the contaminants listed are naturally occurring, while others can come from certain
environmental uses. The water quality report can be found on our Utility website at
https://www.oconomowoc-wi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/10722/2025-Water-Quality-Report?bidId=

Oconomowoc Water Utility FAQ’s Highlighted
Annual Water Quality Report
(Based on the end of year 2025 water sample results)
We, at the Oconomowoc Water Utility, are pleased to present to you this year's
Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to provide information
about the quality of the water delivered to you every day. Our constant goal is to
provide a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the
efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our valuable water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the water. The Oconomowoc Water Utility currently uses seven ground water wells
to supply your water through four entry points. Five of the wells are drilled deep into the sandstone aquifer and two wells
obtain water from the shallow sand and gravel formation. Well #8 was commissioned by the WDNR on March 12, 2026
and its sample results will be part of next year’s report. We are pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets
all Federal and State requirements.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact the Water Superintendent, Scott
Osborn, P.E. at 262-569-2196 or visit our website at www.oconomowoc-wi.gov/. We want our customers to be informed
about their water utility. If you would like to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled Utility Committee
meetings. These meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month preceding the City Council meeting which starts at
7:30 PM in the Council Chambers at Oconomowoc City Hall, located at 174 E. Wisconsin Avenue. Please refer to the
website and the agenda center for specific meeting details.
The Oconomowoc Water Utility routinely monitors constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and
State laws. The Utility collected over 250 water samples this year, with all results coming back safe/under the
specified Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). With that great news, we’re proud to declare that your drinking
water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements.
The Test Results Table on the following page shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 st, 2021, to
December 31st, 2025. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health
risk. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that your water is safe at these levels. The other
constituents detected are summarized on the Table to follow on the next pages. Within the past 12 months we have
conducted Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring in accordance with US EPA rules. We are required to inform you of this
sampling. We are only required to include results showing detections within this report; however, if you would like to
review all results, please contact us.
PLEASE REMEMBER: “All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are
naturally occurring or manmade. The constituents can be microbes, organic, inorganic chemicals, or radioactive materials.”
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More
information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised
people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people who have undergone organ transplants, people with
HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These
people should seek advice about drinking municipal water from their health care providers. For guidelines on appropriate
means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants, please check the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Cross Connection Control Program: To continue to protect the public health and keep the water system safe from
contaminants and pollutants, we are required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department
of Commerce, and the City of Oconomowoc Municipal Code to maintain a Cross Connection Control Program. You can
help us to ensure safe drinking water at the tap in your own home by installing vacuum breakers on your exterior garden
hose connections. These are inexpensive and can be purchased at your local hardware store or simply contact the Utility
and we can provide them for you at no cost.
Water Service Line Inventory: Inventory of all public and private side water service lines connected to our distribution
system are updated daily and notifications are sent to any LSL or GRR annually in December. The water service line
inventory are publicly accessible. You can access the inventory at www.oconomowoc-wi.gov/servicelineproject

Public Educational Information
The following statement must be provided for any Lead detect over the Action Level of 10 ppb in the system.
The 2023 test results had two results over the Action Level. Additional samples will be collected in fall of 2026.
Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause serious health effects in all age groups. Infants and children can have decreases
in IQ and attention span. Lead exposure can lead to new learning and behavior problems or exacerbate existing learning and
behavior problems. The children of women who are exposed to lead before or during pregnancy can have increased risk of
these adverse health effects. Adults can have increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or nervous system
problems.
Lead can cause serious health effects in people of all ages, especially pregnant people, infants (both formula-fed and breastfed),
and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and parts used in service lines and in home plumbing.
Oconomowoc Utilities is responsible for providing high quality drinking water and removing lead pipes but cannot control the
variety of materials used in the plumbing in your home. Because lead levels may vary over time, lead exposure is possible even
when your tap sampling results do not detect lead at one point in time. You can help protect yourself and your family by
identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family's risk. Using a
filter, certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead, is effective in reducing lead
exposures. Follow the instructions provided with the filter to ensure the filter is used properly. Use only cold water for drinking,
cooking, and making baby formula. Boiling water does not remove lead from water. Before using tap water for drinking,
cooking, or making baby formula, flush your pipes for several minutes. You can do this by running your tap, taking a shower,
doing laundry or a load of dishes. If you have a lead service line or galvanized requiring replacement service line, you may
need to flush your pipes for a longer period. If you are concerned about lead in your water and wish to have your water tested,
contact our certified laboratory Northern Lakes Services at 262-547-3406. Information on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available at https://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
The enforceable limit for Arsenic in drinking water is established at 10 ppb. The following educational statement must be
provided if any of our test results are greater than 5 ppb but less than 10 ppb. (Well #7 had a result of 5.0 ppb in 2023 and
will be re-sampled in 2026)
While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA’s standard
balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the cost of removing arsenic from
drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to
cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory
problems.
Thank you for allowing us to continue providing you and your family with clean, quality water again this year. In
order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply, system improvements that will benefit all of our customers
are planned. These improvements are sometimes reflected in rate structure adjustments.
We at the Oconomowoc Water Utility work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all of
our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community.
Please visit our website at www.oconomowoc-wi.gov or call the Water Department at (262) 569-2196 for additional
questions on any of the information presented in this publication.

Note: In the Test Results Table, the recommended health-based levels in the table were in effect in 2024. These levels
were revised by WDHS in 2025. They can be found here https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/water/gws.htm
You may also find terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms
we've provided the following definitions:
Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - the “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.
MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - the “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no
known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Nd – No Detection
