Developer asks sanitary district how privately installed sewer work will be treated if future connections occur
Summary
Chris Hyatt of Key Enterprises described planned private installation of two manholes and about 200 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer for a $400,000 property improvement at Centennial and Wheeling and asked whether the sanitary district would provide credits, installment plans or other compensation if future developers tie into that infrastructure.
Chris Hyatt, representing Key Enterprises, told the board on Feb. 18 that he is undertaking roughly $400,000 in improvements at the northeast corner of Centennial and Wheeling Avenue and is preparing to install sewer infrastructure on his private property.
Hyatt said engineering advised the installation of two manholes and an 8-inch sanitary sewer extending about 200 feet to the west. He said his contractor — who has worked with the sanitary district on other projects — will perform the work, and that he expects to hook into the district system within the year if the building is completed.
Hyatt asked how the sanitary district would treat infrastructure he pays to install if a future developer connects to it, noting his out-of-pocket costs "north of $30,000" for the initial tie-in and seeking options such as credits or installment arrangements similar to practices he described from other utilities, including the Indiana Water Company.
The board did not take a formal vote or issue a directive on Hyatt’s request during the meeting. Hyatt said he was not asking the district to assume the project but wanted clarity on potential return-on-investment approaches should development materialize.
