My family is considering moving to WS. We have always lived in the city. We learned that WS uses well water. Upon further digging, it seems like there have been an exceptional amount of water main breaks this year alone. I have also heard that the well water can stain appliances and clothing, and that the water quality may have had some issues in the last year. For example, there were apparently a few boil orders in 2024-2025. I also noted that the village seems to have recognized the need for substantial infrastructure improvement based on a recent referendum calling for millions and millions of dollars’ worth of work to be done through 2028.
I’d love to get input from any WS residents on whether these issues are legitimate or whether the news is making them seem more cumbersome than they are in reality. The town and schools seem so lovely, but I’d like to know about any issues before fully investing. Thank you in advance!
