Lawrence City utility board approves $10,000 amendment for sewer capacity evaluation

On June 9, 2026, the Utility Service Board for Lawrence City approved an amendment adding up to $10,000 to a task order with American Structure Point to fund a private-development sanitary sewer capacity evaluation and recommendations.

Paul, the utility superintendent, told the board, “Tonight, the utilities are seeking approval of amendment number two of task order number one dated May 28th, 2024 with American Structure Point for a not to exceed amount of $10,000 for private private development sanitary sewer capacity evaluation and recommendations.” He said the consultant would help evaluate INDOT/DPW projects and internal economic development projects to determine what the system can allow.

The board considered the amendment under new business, moved and seconded the measure and approved it by voice vote. The motion as stated to the board was: “approve amendment number two to task order number one from American Structure Point Inc. to increase the cost of the private development sanitary sewer capacity evaluation and recommendations project by $10,000.”

In the superintendent’s report, Paul also outlined near-term construction and public-notice plans tied to the utilities’ capital work. He said the sanitary sewer 46 and Post Road influent infiltration removal project is scheduled to start the week of June 15, pending necessary permits, and that staff will post locations and expected lane restrictions on social media so residents are informed.

No remonstrations or citizen comments were recorded on the item. The board did not identify a mover or seconder in the public record and votes were recorded by voice; the amendment was approved during the meeting.
