Petition for Sewer Service

PETITION PROCESS FOR NEW SANITARY SEWER PROJECTS

Is your septic system over 20-25 years old?  What about your neighbors? Has anyone noticed that there is discharge from an old septic system where it probably should not be?  Before you replace your entire septic system, you should consider all of the options available to you – including sanitary sewer service.

If you are interested in learning more about the possibility of sanitary sewer service from the Allen County Regional Water and Sewer District in your neighborhood, please start with the attached petition form.   We operate on a complaint driven or petition driven basis for new projects. Please complete and submit the Petition Form to info@acrwsd.com to show the interest level of you and your neighbors.

Signing the petition does not guarantee that a sewer will be constructed but serves as an initial, formal request from residents.  If the Board of Trustees decides to move forward with a petitioned area, an informational meeting will be held with residents to discuss the sanitary sewer options and next steps.

The key advantages to working with the ACRWSD include our ability to obtain low interest (typically less than 3%) financing for the cost of engineering design and sewer construction and very often, grants from the State of Indiana.  This allows homeowners to pay for the project cost through rates instead of all at once. Additionally, the health hazards presented by outdated and potentially failing septic systems in your can be resolved through one managed project rather than several individual sewer replacements.
