Regional sewer project in Dubois County hits cost and schedule hurdles; awaits SRF ranking in July
Summary
Commissioners heard that the Regional Sewer District project has encountered cost increases and multiple roadblocks; the project is awaiting a State Revolving Fund financial ranking in July 2025 that will influence next steps.
Commissioner Chad A. Blessinger updated the board on the Regional Sewer District on June 2, saying the project has encountered several roadblocks and that costs have risen since 2022. Continued discussions are underway with the City of Jasper, engineering firm Clark Dietz and financial advisor Baker Tilly, and the project is awaiting a financial ranking from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) in July 2025.
Blessinger said the cost picture has changed since earlier projections and that SRF ranking will be a key determinant for financing and timing. No formal action or funding commitment was made at the June 2 meeting; Commissioners will continue to monitor the SRF process and consultant recommendations.
