BRULE SANITARY DISTRICT #1
Construction of the Brule Sanitary District began in the spring of
1978 and was completed in June, 1979, designed to handle 16,500
gallons of sewage daily. Leakage in the clay ponds and changes in
DNR specifications made an upgrade necessary in 1998-99. This more
than doubled the system's capacity. The Brule Town Board appoints
the three- member Sanitary District Board, which is responsible for
the operation of the district. The current Sanitary Board is
chaired by Dale Copp. Commissioners are: Donna Olson and George
Wende. John Stack is the state licensed operator, and Mary Smet is
the clerk/treasurer.
All homes and businesses within the sanitary district are required
to be hooked to the sewer system. No private septic tanks are
allowed. As of January 1, 2008, the hook-up fee is $750. All users
pay a quarterly fee of $86 for a single family unit, $258.70 for a
business serving food and/or beverages, $130 for other businesses,
$14.40 per motel room, $46.80 per laundry room, $4.55 per RV
hook-up, and $23.40 per cabin. In addition to the quarterly charge,
there is a 2 mill levy on all real estate within the district. At
this time (April, 2008) the sanitary system serves 96 single family
dwellings, 18 businesses and 4 multiple family units for a total of
118 accounts.
