Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger updated the commissioners this week on a number of applications received to populate the Regional Sewer District Board.
Clevenger said nine applications have been received. He said the commissioners will have a chance to review those applications. He noted that there are some applicants that do not live in the district, and one in a low priority area.
Clevenger will be assisting the commissioners in arranging an interview schedule that could begin after March 20.
The Marshall County Commissioners will appoint five people to the board, with the Marshall County Council with one appointment and the City of Plymouth has one appointment. All members would serve on staggered terms.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management approved Marshall County’s petition to create a Regional Sewer District in late 2022.
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.
