Fishers approves professional services agreement to design Lynnwood Hills sewer system for about 160 homes
Summary
The City of Fishers approved a professional services agreement to design a low-pressure sewer system for the Lynnwood Hills neighborhood, which the city said includes roughly 160 homes currently served by septic. The project is partly funded by a grant/loan from the Indiana Finance Authority.
The City of Fishers City Council voted to approve a professional services agreement with Butler Fairmont & Cipher (name from transcript) to prepare design and construction documents for a sewer system for the Lynnwood Hills neighborhood.
Jonathan Belenta, director of public works, told the council the neighborhood contains approximately 160 homes in the northeast corner near Allisonville Road that are currently on septic systems. Staff proposed a low-pressure sewer system that would allow participating homeowners to connect to municipal wastewater. Belenta said the project will be funded in part by a grant/loan from the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA).
Belenta and councilmembers discussed that homeowners would pay a portion of costs; staff said the majority of funds would come from other sources (transcript wording: “the homeowners will have a portion to that, but majority of the funds are not positive” — minutes show staff clarified funding breakdown was not fully specified). The council approved the professional services agreement by voice vote.
Belenta and other staff noted the area was annexed into the city and that design and construction are expected to proceed over the coming 12 to 24 months.
