When your well has been flooded, bacteria and other harmful organisms can get into your water

You should consider your well flooded if:

The well head was covered or well casing was inundated with water.

You notice changes in the taste or color or the presence of sediment in your water.

Your well is shallow-cased nearby areas have been flooded.

It will take time for the water to be safe to use again. You will need an unaffected source of water to use for several weeks while you fix your well. Safe water includes bottled water, tap water that you boiled for one minute, or water from a well that was not flooded.

On Thursday June 27, 2024 at 8:19 AM the Adams County Sheriff’s Office received a call advising that the caller had not been able to contact Sharon K. Miller, age 62 of Friendship for three days.  The reporting person advised she went to Sharon’s home located in the Adams County Town of Strongs Prairie that Sharon and Sharon’s son, Jami L. Lumby, age 37, were not there.  Deputies arrived and checked the property and did not locate either person.  Deputies identified recent ground disturbance consistent with digging or the burying of something on the property. A search warrant to further search the property was obtained.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to this investigation, and have dedicated every available resource to this investigation. 

We are now able to confirm that the adult body that was discovered on June 27, 2024 is that of Sharon K. Miller, known by family and friends as Sharon Miller-Robinson. Investigators also located the body of Jami L. Lumby at their residence.  The manner of their deaths are pending autopsy, but are both being investigated as suspicious deaths.

Staff from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Special Agents from the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation continue to collect and analyze evidence, and are conducting interviews. DOJ Crime Response Specialists are assisting family members in this investigation.

We are again asking for the public’s assistance if anyone has had any recent contact with Sharon or Jami to contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

No further information will be made available for release at this time.  Additional information will be made available as we are able to do so as the investigation continues to progress.

Operates community health center clinics in Mauston, Friendship, Wautoma, Stevens Point, and Beaver Dam, as well as mobile health services throughout Wisconsin.

WAUTOMA, WI – June 24, 2024 – Family Health La Clinica, a community health center with clinics in
five central and south-central Wisconsin communities, including Mauston, announced today that
it has changed its name to Noble Community Clinics. The new name better reflects the organization’s broader mission of building vibrant communities by providing accessible, quality healthcare services to everyone it serves. Effective immediately, the new name, Noble Community Clinics, will be incorporated into the current logo design.

“Our organization’s outreach and purpose has expanded over the 50 years we have been in existence,” CEO Laura Waldvogel explained. “Our new name, Noble Community Clinics, is inclusive and clearly invites everyone in the community to use our services, which focus on patients’ whole health.”

“The new name supports our strategy of continual growth as a community health center, which is increasingly essential as more and more people face barriers to receiving the quality care they need,” added Board Chairperson Aaron Williams.

Noble Community Clinics welcomes patients at clinics in Wautoma, Stevens Point, Mauston, Beaver Dam, and Friendship. As a community health center, its clinics provide comprehensive and affordable care delivered with compassion and excellence, meeting each patient’s needs. Its modern facilities, dedicated physicians, nurses and certified staff offer a wide range of high-quality, integrated services for physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.

In Mauston, Noble Community Clinics currently offers dental health care.

Additionally, Noble Community Clinics’ Mobile Health Services teams extend the clinics’ reach by providing medical care at local employers’ worksites, as well as school-based and mobile dental services, and healthcare to rural residents throughout central Wisconsin. Its Mobile Health Center has also brought medical services to migrant and seasonal agricultural worker communities statewide since 1973, as the only migrant health center in Wisconsin.

“We have a rich, community-led legacy and are honored to live our mission through our daily work,”
said Waldvogel. “At Noble Community Clinics, we believe everyone — no matter who they are or where they come from — deserves access to the right care, the right way.”
