Public info meeting June 23 on Villa Park Landfill in West Bend

West Bend, WI – Neighbors in the Villa Park area have a virtual public information meeting tonight regarding landfill testing results. That meeting is set for Tuesday, June 23 at 6 p.m.

During Monday night’s, June 15, West Bend Common Council meeting the council moved into closed session to discuss the Schuster Landfill.

It was October 2019 when the City of West Bend held its first public meeting about the landfill. At the time a company from Milwaukee, AECOM, talked about monitoring a plume of Trichloroethylene (TCE) which had been found in the air and in the groundwater in Villa Park.

TCE was used by factories to clean metal and it was in paint. TCE migrates via ground water and can “gas off.” It can enter a house, very similar to radon. Click HERE to read more.
