Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger told the Marshall County Commissioners Monday morning that the Regional Sewer District petition has been filed with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
“Our office circulated and delivered copies and filed copies with the commissioners, council, township trustees, and school corporations,” stated Clevenger. In addition, we furnished copies to the public libraries in the county so anybody that’s interested can look at the petition and all of the exhibits. We’re trying to furnish, as well, online to the libraries so that you don’t have to just go in and leaf through this booklet if that’s what you wanted to do.”
The Marshall County Economic Development Corporation also has a copy of the petition, as well as the Marshall County Health Department.
Clevenger said a timeline for public hearings set by IDEM for public comments on the Marshall County Regional Sewer District has not yet been developed. That is the next step in the process before IDEM takes action on the petition.
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.
