Village of Crivitz Is Considering Extra Territorial Zoning for Well

As part of its efforts to protect the village water supply, Crivitz Village Board has been working on a Wellhead Protection Plan. To make that plan effective, they need authority to regulate uses of land near the ground water source. Since the wellhead is located outside village limits, that involves extra territorial zoning of properties in the Town of Stephenson within a 1.5 mile radius from the village limits.
