(Horicon) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced Thursday a temporary closure of the Horicon Marsh’s visit center. DNR officials say the education and visitor center, located at N7725 on Highway 28 between Horicon and Mayville, is closed for the immediate future due to a boiler malfunction.
A service technician discovered a crack in the heat exchanger on Wednesday. This caused carbon dioxide to leak from the boiler. The DNR says while not at hazardous levels, once a leak is discovered, the boiler must be shut down and stay off until resolved.
They add that until the boiler is replaced, the building is not being heated and is too cold to conduct normal operations. Emergency repairs will be made as soon as possible to limit disruption, according to the DNR.
Updates on the building’s reopening will be posted to the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center’s webpage on the DNR’s website. Click HERE to visit the site.
