Sewer Credit for Filling Swimming Pools & Sewer Summer Averaging Ordinance


Swimming season is quickly approaching. Because your wastewater (sewer) bill is directly related to your water usage, the Sellersburg Wastewater Utility will issue a credit for filling up your pool.

Contact the Town’s Billing Office by calling (812)246-3821 opt. 1, to reserve one of the Town issued meters. Adjustments cannot be issued without the use of this meter. The number of meters available is limited so we ask you please plan head. Simply follow the steps per Town of Sellersburg Ordinance 52.02 outlined below. If you choose to wait until June, there is no need to apply for a credit using this outline as the Summer Averaging Program begins June 1st and runs through September (Ordinance 52.01)


52.02 โ€“ Adjustments For The Filling Up Of Swimming Pools With Water

Any wastewater customer (the โ€œCustomerโ€) of the Town of Sellersburg, Indiana may rent a garden hose meter from the Townโ€™s Billing Office for a 72-hour time frame to track the amount of gallons used when filling their swimming pool that will ultimately by-pass the wastewater treatment system of the Town.

Process:

1.) The wastewater customer shall visit Townโ€™s Billing Office and execute a rental agreement, which is incorporated herewith, for a garden hose meter from the Town free of charge.

2.) The Customer shall return the meter within 72 hours and is responsible for the full replacement cost of the meter should it be returned in an inoperable manner.

3.) Failure to return the meter within 72 hours will result in a $50 per day late fee for the first two (2) days after the expiration of the 72 hour and $100 per day late fee thereafter to be paid immediately.

The water usage indicated on the meter upon its return will be calculated and applied as a wastewater adjustment on the next available billing cycle.

(Ord. 2020-OR-009, passed 6-8-20)


52.01 – Wastewater Summer Averaging   

All residential users (as defined below) connected to the town wastewater treatment plant may be exempt from payment for certain sewer use charges only on the water not specifically discharged into the townโ€™s sewage system under the following terms and conditions:   

(A)   In the event that water usage for the months of June, July, August, and September (โ€œsummer monthsโ€) is greater than the average amount of water used by said residential user during October, November, December, and January (โ€œwinter monthsโ€) of the preceding year, then billing for sewage service for summer months shall be based upon the average of the water usage during the winter months.   

(B)   In the event that water usage is less during the summer months as compared to the winter months, then billing shall be based upon the actual water usage in said months.   

(C)   The term RESIDENTIAL USER shall mean and apply to each lot, parcel of real estate or building which is occupied and used solely as a residence.

The summer rate does not apply to any premises, which are partially or wholly, used for commercial or industrial purposes including, but not limited to, hotels/motels, retirement/nursing home facilities, rooming house, apartment complexes, multi-family complexes, resident training or educational facilities, other commercial properties housing groups of individuals or anything similar thereto.

INFO ON UPCOMING INDOT PROJECTS IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF SELLERSBURG


US31 IMPROVEMENTS:

It is finally upon us… The US31 improvement project. Utility relocations will begin in March and run through the end of the year 2025. Once complete, the actual US31 project will begin and is scheduled to continue through all or most of 2026 depending on weather. To see all the construction plans related to this project as well as an informational video that was part of the community meeting held at Town Hall on 9/15/22, click the button below.

An enlarged set of renderings are also available to view at Town Hall.


Project Points of Fact:

  • A third lane will be added the entire distance from Utica Street to 403.ย 
  • 403 intersection will be reconstructed/modified.
  • US31/Prather Ln. intersection will be reconstructed/modified.
  • There are no roundabouts as part of this project.
  • Complete sidewalks will be constructed from Prather Lane to Silver Creek Campus. Sidewalk repairs from Silver Creek Campus to Indiana Avenue in Speed.
  • This project will add significant stormwater improvements along the corridor to help address stormwater issues in and around downtown Sellersburg.
  • Signalized crosswalks will be added at several locations within the project including Hauss Avenue, the Library, and Utica Street.
  • INDOT will be constructing a new permanent stop light at E. St. Joe and SR60 in the fall of this year in preparation for the US31 construction to take place in 2026. This light is something the Town was able to work with INDOT on as everyone locally knows the danger of this intersection already. Traffic is expected to increase here as a means of avoiding 31 to get to SC schools during the project.

Thank you to INDOT for this additional stop light project prior to the start of the US31 Project.


OTHER INDOT PROJECTS IN THE WORKS:
-Stoplight at SR60 and W. St. Joe Rd
-Roundabout at SR60 and CR311
-Roundabout at SR60 and Perry Crossing

TOWN OF SELLERSBURG AND CLARK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORKING TOWARDS SOLUTION OF CR311:

The Town is also working with the Clark County Commissioners on a CR311 reconstruction/improvement project from SR60 to Enterprise Dr. This project will add a lane, multi-use path along the roadway, and streetscapes. CR311 (Charlestown Rd) through Town is a Clark County Highway and not a Town road. We thank the Clark County Commissioners for working with us to solve this long overdue roadway improvement project.

2025 Town of Sellersburg Paving Projects

The INDOT Community Crossing Matching Grant (CCMG) Road Projects within the Town of Sellersburg will be starting in late spring of 2025 with an estimated completion in September of 2025. Once the public bidding process was complete, the project award was won by MAC Construction. Scheduled work will include mill/paving, concrete curb repair, roadside storm drain repairs, road markings where applicable, and sidewalk repairs where applicable.

As part of the project specifications, MAC Construction will be posting advance notice on the roads they will be working. This will give residents the notice they need to be aware of when work will begin on their roadways.

For the Town to qualify for funding, the Town Council will provide local matching funds of 25% from a funding source approved for road and bridge construction. As part of the CCMG Program, INDOT will provide the remaining 75% of the funding need.

Creation of Jeff/Utica Fire District Impact on all Government Units in the Clark County

The City of Jeffersonville and the Utica Township Fire District are seeking to creating a new taxing territory that will consolidate their fire protection and add a new EMS/ambulance service for the two units of government. The proposed budget for this new taxing territory is $35.1 million.

FACTS:

  • The Jeffersonville/Utica taxing territory has allocated $7 million for the EMS portion. They anticipate generating $3 million from service fees which means the portion covered by tax revenue will be $4 million. County-wide EMS service is currently provided by the Clark County Commissioners via Heartland Ambulances. The cost of this service for the entire county is $3 million. Jeffersonville and Utica Township both receive coverage under the existing county contract.
  • The proposed taxing territory has allocated $28.1 million of the total budget for fire protection services. The current budget for Jeffersonville’s fire services is $14 million.
  • All cities, towns, townships, schools, fire protection districts, and libraries in Clark County will lose money from their budgets annually. The impact analysis links below show the impact over the next 3 years. The new taxing territory gives a larger portion of the available tax revenue to the City of Jeffersonville to cover the proposed $35.1 million budget. This leaves less money available for the other units including schools, towns, and townships.

The creation of the Jeff/Utica Fire District has residual impacts to ALL Government Units of Clark County, not just those in Jeffersonville and Utica.

In the Baker Tilly report above, the numbers do not show the total loss from the base year. It shows the base year, then each year’s deduction from the previous year, leading to some confusion regarding the total impacts.

The downloadable Impact Analysis spreadsheet below, shows the overall impact to all the taxing units.
