Medary seeks control of Holiday Heights water system
Medary asks La Crosse County Court for a declaratory judgment to take over the Holiday Heights water system and expand it to serve about 150 homes. The town alleges the existing system installed by developers by Youngs et al is inadequate, with a 250 gallon tank instead of 1,500, no reservoir, and improper insulation causing freezes. The suit cites health board approval for eight homes and about 18 connected, and notes resident petitions in January to transfer operation under the trust agreement.

The La Crosse County Taxpayer Association warns of about a $2 rise per $1000 in the city tax rate due to higher debt service.
