I live in the proposed District boundary. Will I be forced to connect to sewer or water?

The County wishes to make the sewer and water service available for customers to connect to improve the waterways and enhance public health.  Connection to water is voluntary and is at the homeowner’s request.  For homeowners with properly functioning septic systems, Indiana Code 13-26 allows for an exemption of up to 20 years for homeowners before the District may require them to connect to sewers.  However, the Commissioners intend this to be the homeowner’s decision, and as the District Board they plan to grant the homeowner the option of replacing their septic system or connecting to the public sewers, regardless of when that might happen in the future.
