Priory Neighborhood Water Protection Association

Protect Our Water!

Welcome

As residents of the Towns of Washington and Brunswick, we are dedicated to the preservation of the water quality and supply in our neighborhood.  Many of us moved to this area to live in an pastoral environment, now the preservation of the rural character of the neighborhood is a crucial concern.  Recent events have brought many of us together, with a common goal to preserve the watershed of Taylor and Lowes Creeks within our neighborhood. The unique geological structure of our neighborhood poses its own challenges of water quality and run off.   Together we will promote our neighborhood and the sense of community we share.

To Learn more about why we love our neighborhood and want to preserve the natural beauty around us Please follow us on Facebook and keep an eye on our news section of our website for the most current information and updates.

Dear Neighbors and Eau Claire County Friends,

We would like to announce that the proposed development will not be going forward.  Last week, the developer and some of our neighbors discussed resolving this issue.  After some back and forth negotiation, and consultation with the County, a deal was finalized today. 

Given that there is an agreement resolving this matter, the Priory Neighborhood Water Protection Association requests that our supporters not attend or speak at this meeting.  Although we appreciate the great level of support that has been shown, there is a concern that a large presence or comments may lead to unintended consequences in what should be a rapid approval.

The Priory Neighborhood Water Protection Association would like to thank the following for all their efforts on this matter:

  1. Everyone who wrote letters, attended meetings, sent e-mails, gave advice, shared contacts, and supported our neighborhood. This was a great group effort.
  2. Our President, Beth Ivankovic and her Husband, Slavko Ivankovic for tirelessly campaigning and going beyond the call of duty to protect our groundwater and rural character.
  3. The Priory Neighborhood Water Protection Board has met many evenings and spent hours of their time working to protect our ground water.
  4.  Dr. Robert Hooper, Department of Geology, UWEC.  Without Dr. Hooper’s expertise, we would not have made it past the first Town of Washington Board meeting.
  5. Dr. John Tinker, Professor Emeritus, UWEC, Hydrogeologist.  Without Dr. Tinker’s expertise, research, and explanations, again we would not be where we are today.
  6. Brian Nodolf, Attorney from Nodolf Flory, LLP.  Brian has worked tirelessly to ensure that we had the correct advice and plans to advocate our position.
  7. C&M Developers for their willingness to work with our neighborhood to produce a win-win outcome.

If you have any questions, please contact Joe Pavlic.

Thanks again for your help and support
