Officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and state agencies continue to review Marshall County’s petition for a Regional Sewer District.
Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger gave the Marshall County Commissioners an update on the situation during their recent meeting. The paperwork was filed with IDEM in May.
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.
