FAQ

The GogebicRange Water Authority (GRWA) was formed in 1979 to develop water transmission between the City of Wakefield, Wakefield Township, Blackjack Ski Resort, and Bessemer Township. The Charter Township of Ironwood, the Indianhead Ski Resort, and the City of Bessemer, which still maintains its own wells, joined at a later date.

The GRWA purchases water from the City of Wakefield for sale and distribution.

The ground water source for this water supply comes from two wells located on the North side of Sunday Lake at the Chicago Mine. Well #1 is 410 feet deep and Well #2 is 412 feet deep. Both wells are drilled into a spring fed reservoir in the old Chicago Mine workings. The water from each well is pumped into the Chicago Mine pump house and is disinfected with chlorine. After being approved by a vote of the people of Wakefield, fluoride is added to the water.

GRWA Board of Directors

GRWA Board of Directors The Gogebic Range Water Authority is governed by a Board of Directors composed of eleven members. Two members are appointed from each of the five participating municipalities and one general at large member is appointed by the GRWA board itself.
