Water System Project Updates – July 1, 2024
Date Posted: Tuesday, January 9th, 2024The Town currently has two ongoing projects and one completed project, all focused on improvements to the water system: Water Pumps Rehab Project – During the initial phase of rehab on Well #2, it was determined that, due to still-undetermined circumstances, the well structure had become compromised, making rehab impossible. After discussion with the rehab vendor and engineers from Verdantas, it was the group’s consensus that a new well needed to be drilled. That process took place during April, May and June, with the new well coming online the last week of June. The rehab project will now focus on Well #3 during the summer. The funding for these projects is being taken from both the ARPA federal funding we received in CY 2021 as well as rainy-day funds of the Town itself.

Date Posted: Friday, June 12th, 2020The Town of Magnolia is pleased to announce the completion of its Magnolia Traffic Study. The majority of the funding for the project was provided by the Dover/Kent County MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) with the remainder provided by the Town.
