Regional sewer district: A 12-year struggle

I By MARY JANE LORTON Staff Writer (EDITOR’S NOTE: Following 'is the first in a two-part series on the history of the Turkey Creek Regional Sewer District. Next week we will take a look at the setbacks that made providing a new sanitary sewage system for the district, a project which was originally thought to take a couple of years. a 12-year struggle.) "Turkey Creek Regional Sewer District 9 What is that 9 " "I won’t believe it until I see construction trucks in my front yard." "I have heard them talking about this project for years, but it will never really happen." Such have been some of the comments voiced over the past 12 years concerning the Turkey Creek Regional Sewer District. Formed with the initial purpose of addressing “wastewater treatment problems in areas generally surrounding Lake Wawasee," TCRSD has been working toward the completion of this goal since its inception in October of 1977. In spite of the many unexpected setbacks and hurdles, TCRSD has slowly trudged on in an effort to provide a new sanitary sewage system for the district. After years of monthly meetings, public hearings, waiting and planning, it is time to put skepticism aside. If plans continue to proceed as outlined by TCRSD. the district may provide the contractors with a notice to proceed with construction on November 28. District Formed It all started some 25 years ago when the state board of health notified the Wawasee Property Owners Association that the lake was deteriorating and something needed to be done, according to Dr. V. Logan Love, secretary of the board. In an August 1, 1979, issue of The Mail-Journal it was reported. "Turkey Creek and Wawasee. Syracuse, Papakeechie and Bonar Lakes in Turkey Creek Township have become badly polluted in recent years. Turkey Creek is listed number eight in pollution problems on the State of Indiana Discharger Inventory List that lists 384 townships in order of pollution priority, number one having greater priority than number 384." The idea at this time, in order to combat the lake problems, was to form a conservancy district, said Dr. Love, adding, "we started a petition at’this time to form one. " "We had a lot of people for it, and some against.” said Dr. Love. In time, an impasse developed and the petition died. However, several members of the property owners association did not want to give up. So they began to toy with the idea of a regional district. Over the course of five years, those interested in the regional district got together with a lawyer who had a summer home on the lake. Bill Salin was the attorney who would come to represent these petitioners. "It required a lot of legal work," Dr. Love explained when asked why Doll's Decorating jf Wallpaper * Sale . <2 "Hurry In!" 20% Off All Books Everyday - NOKITUHNS - ' gy g 658 4033 g

a lawyer was needed to form the regional district. On August 10, 1977, at Wawasee High School, the Stream Pollution Control Board of the state of Indiana had a public hearing on a petition to form a Turkey Creek Regional Sewer District. As a direct result of this hearing, a petition was submitted to the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board to form the district. The district received state approval on October 20,1977. r The law which set into place this district read that the governor, Turkey Creek Township Advisory Board, Turkey Creek Township Trustee, and the county commissioners were to select

(Jones is still president and Dr. Love is still secretary.)
