Commissioners vote to end sewer district

PLYMOUTH — After a marathon work session with the Marshall County Council, the Marshall County Commissioners made it official, unanimously passing a resolution to disband the Marshall County Sewer District.


In a resolution that was read in full at the work session, the Commissioners have called on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to dissolve the Marshall County Sewer District. The resolution cited reasons that the current project proposed was not economically feasible, fair, or reasonable.
President of the Commissioners Stan Klotz told the joint session that the resolution did not kill sewers in the county, but the resolution “takes government out of it.”
In voting for the resolution, Commissioner Jesse Bohannon quoted from the Indiana constitution that citizens “had the right to alter and reform their government,” and Commissioner Adam Faulstich stated that “…for an unelected board to have that kind of power, with no valid checks and balances, is a dangerous situation.”
