Lawrence Utilities approves $9,000 resilience assessment, $6,000 INDOT plan‑review amendment and $397.46 sewer adjustment
Summary
The Lawrence Utilities Board approved a risk and resilience assessment contract, an INDOT plan‑review amendment, the annual red‑flag identity‑theft report and a customer sanitary‑sewer bill adjustment during a brief meeting; required federal and local deadlines were noted.
The Lawrence Utilities Board approved four items during a short meeting: a risk and resilience assessment contract not to exceed $9,000, an amendment to an INDOT plan‑review task order for $6,000, the utility's 2025 identity‑theft (red flag) report and a sanitary sewer bill adjustment of $397.46 for a customer leak.
The board approved a task order with Wesler Engineering Inc. to complete a risk and resilience assessment and an emergency response plan required under the America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 and by Environmental Protection Agency rules for water systems serving 3,300 or more people; the approved amount for that work is not to exceed $9,000. The certified risk and resilience assessment is due Dec. 31, 2025, and the emergency response plan is due June 30, 2026, deadlines noted by the superintendent during the meeting.
The board also approved amendment number 3 to task order number 19 with Wesler Engineering Inc. to increase the INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) plan‑review contract by $6,000 for additional construction‑administration services to address utility conflicts along State Road 56 and Midhofer and Pendleton pikes, as described in the engineering work plan.
Staff presented the utility's 2025 annual identity‑theft prevention report, covering April 2024 through April 2025, required by Resolution 2009‑7 to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags Rule; the report records that staff identified no incidents of compromised customer information during the reporting period and recommended no changes to current policies.
The board approved a sanitary sewer adjustment for the account at 11664 High Grass Lane in the amount of $397.46 after staff reported the charge resulted from a spigot leak and recommended the credit.
All four approvals were made by voice vote; the meeting record shows motions were moved and seconded and the chair called the voice votes with "Aye," and the minutes record the motions as carried. The meeting then adjourned.
