WAUPUN â Waupun residents have always been proud of their historic City Hall, but their historic boiler is another matter.
A recent report from Cedar Corporation reveals that the 40-plus-year-old boiler is urgently in need of replacement, not just because it is old, but also because the 1928 pipes it is connected to are starting to leak.
The entire system is likely to fail â and soon, according to the experts.
âWe believe the pipes go back to the time when the building was first constructed,â said Director of Public Works Jeff Daane. âThere are some newer pipes where weâve repaired leaks in the past, but engineers have discovered some water and dampness inside the trenches where the pipes were run. Itâs time to do something before it gets any worse.â
