Overview

This project is for a water main extension to provide water service to existing homes in Owen County along State Road 67/231. This area is currently serviced by failing private residential water wells, as they contain coliform, a contaminant from a pig farm that was previously in the area. This project would install 9,800 linear feet of water main providing treated water to people (60% of which are on fixed incomes) and businesses along this corridor south of Spencer. Associated hydrants, valves, service lines and appurtenances will be installed to complete the project. It will be funded in part by the BBP Water Corporation (State Revolving Loan Fund). READI funds will help with project affordability for future water users. This project will provide a critical service to a growing area. The anticipated start date would be June 2023 and completed in August 2024.
