COVID-19 precautions put in place before the “Safer at Home” order are working well at the Village of Ephraim water treatment facilities.  Those were put in place to ensure that the village would have adequate staffing to keep water treatment operations running without interruption due to illness.  Russ Salfi, with the Ephraim Department of Public Works, says social distancing and sanitation protocols are paying off.

Salfi also says some computer keyboards and mouses used by more than one employee are also being covered with plastic wrap and replaced each day.  He says employees showing any symptoms of COVID-19 are required to be tested in Sturgeon Bay and observe a 14-day at-home quarantine.
