Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger updated the Marshall County Commissioners Monday morning on the progress of the Regional Sewer District at the state level.
Clevenger said the petition and exhibits were supposed to be filed with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) on Monday, May 2.
“Once that’s done we have to file a copy of the petition and exhibits that were filed with IDEM with the township trustees and school corporations and then IDEM will start the process,” said Clevenger.
He said the timing of any public hearings or other notifications from IDEM will be determined soon.
Thirteen Priority Service Areas have been identified to be included in a Regional Sewer District which include, in order of priority, Latonka, Lawrence Lake and Mill Pond areas, followed by Bremen East; North Michigan area; Rushmoor Addition; Donaldson and Ancilla Domini Convent; McQueen’s Broadview; Golfview Estates; Deer Trail, Tall Oaks and Carriage Hills; South Michigan Street; Inwood; Burr Oak; Hawk Lake; and State Road 331 South Tippecanoe. Areas could be added, but the homeowner or entity would have to petition an appointed seven-member district board that will make all decisions concerning the Regional Sewer District.
