The Town Council will hear the first reading of this ordinance at its January 11, 2021 meeting.

The Town of Sellersburg has long experienced degrading water and wastewater infrastructure. After completing long-range masterplans for repairs, the Town Council commissioned rate studies to determine if and how the utilities could pay for much-needed repairs.

The rate study results were recently reviewed at a Town Council Meeting. Moving forward, the Town Council will be hosting a series of workshops through the month of January in 2021. The goal is to discuss and educate rate payers about the immediate and long-term issues the water and waste water utilities are facing.

Dates of these workshops will be posted on this website, the Town Facebook, posted at Town Hall and issued in a press release to the local newspapers

The last rate change related to sewers was a rate decrease in 2007.

The last rate change related to water was a rate increase in 2013.
