Vernon County PWSD No. 2 has been in service since 1967 and now serves almost 1,200 people through 460 meters. Since its inception the District has purchased all of its water on a wholesale basis from a neighboring public water supply. Various circumstances in 1995 led the district to consider developing their own water supply and treatment system. Allgeier Martin was retained to prepare a study examining the feasibility of a new water supply and treatment system. The study concluded that it was indeed feasible and desirable for the District to produce its own water.
