Overview

To facilitate the development of the interchange at US 31 & SR 28, the City of Tipton, Tipton County and Tipton Municipal Utilities seek to modify drinking water facilities and extend wastewater services along the 5-mile corridor of SR 28. An existing wastewater treatment facility at the interchange is near capacity. The plan is to divert current and future wastewater flows to the City's treatment plant which has ample capacity. The drinking water improvements will include additional storage capacity, improving water pressure issues and enhance fire fighting capabilities. The current level of service is adequate for the next 1 to 3 years. The project will be competitively bid in early 2023 with an estimated 12 month construction period. READI funds will be used to extended wastewater infrastructure and improve the drinking water system. The proposed project will allow the community to be poised for growth over the next 20 years. There is currently a 72-acre development in the project area which will include industrial, commercial/retail and a 300-residential home development. The improvements described above will allow for these developments and continued growth within Tipton County.
