The Marshall County Commissioners considered a resolution Monday morning concerning the establishment of a Marshall County Regional Sewer District.
The resolution allows the commissioners to move forward with establishing the Regional Sewer District which leaves out the communities of Tyner and Teegarden. The priority service areas now include North Michigan Street area; Rushmoor Addition; Donaldson; McQueens Broadview Park; Tall Oaks, Deer Trail and Carriage Hills; Golfview Estates; Lake Latonka and Lawrence Lake areas; South Michigan Street area; Burr Oak; Hawk Lake; Inwood; State Road 331 (Tippecanoe Area); and a subdivision in Bremen. The first priority project, as indicated in the resolution, would be the Lake Latonka and Lawrence Lake areas.
The resolution was adopted with a unanimous vote.
County Attorney Jim Clevenger stated the next step would be to hold public hearings to take public comments on the establishment of the Regional Sewer District before a petition is submitted to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
Notices will be published and landowners in the proposed areas would be sent notification through the mail which could total 2,500 homes. Public hearings are set for Monday, February 7 at 1 p.m. ET and Monday, February 21 at 6 p.m. ET in the second floor meeting room (Room 203) at the Marshall County Building at 112 W. Jefferson Street in Plymouth. The state will also conduct public hearings after all of the local documentation is submitted for review by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
