Residents raise lake safety, sewer fee and chlorine concerns during public comment
Summary
Community members asked about swimming safety at Van Bibber Lake, sewer fees applied to vacant lots, leak-billing transparency and chlorine levels; the board said lake matters are partially under the POA and DNR and that water testing meets regulatory requirements.
During the public comment period on March 14, community members raised concerns about lake safety for swimming, the application of sewer fees to vacant lots, transparency around leak billing and variability in chlorine levels.
Board members responded that lake-safety oversight is partially the responsibility of the homeowners association and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, that sewer fees apply to lots with service availability, and that the district’s water testing meets regulatory requirements while chlorine levels vary with treatment needs.
The board agreed to follow up with public communications on proper sewer usage to reduce blockages and to provide clarity about billing policies as the metered-billing transition proceeds.
