On April 17, 2018 the Langlade County Board approved updates to the Langlade County Manure Storage Ordinance, effective immediately.
The purpose of the Manure Storage Ordinance is to prevent water pollution and protect the water resources within Langlade County. In order to do this, the ordinance regulates the location, design, construction, installation, and management of animal waste storage facilities.
