The Michigan City Waterworks Board approved routine procurement and financial items at its June 30 meeting.
Board members moved and seconded approval of the minutes from June 9, 2026, the list of purchase orders, the list of claims and the bad-debt list; each motion passed with no negatives recorded.
Staff described six purchase-order items included in the packet: a $750 contract to migrate EGV billing data to a standalone workstation; a service call for equipment fault codes (amount in the recording was unclear and should be verified); inventory purchases of pit lids and pipe listed at $10,600; $2,595.77 to install a new breaker; repair and replacement of an air-conditioning compressor on a metering truck (amount in the recording was unclear and should be verified); and a $12,900 contract to pressure-wash the Carol Avenue water tank. Staff said the tank-cleaning funds will come from the reserve set aside for tank painting and maintenance.
On the financial statement, staff reported total disbursements of $697,846.54, inventory purchases of $112,381.54, bad-debt recoveries of $8,940, capital expenditures of $20,751.33, monthly gross income of $156,710.31 and monthly net income of $32,710.31. The presenter also noted year-to-date figures showing a gross loss and a negative net position; some transcript lines contain typographical errors and figures should be verified against official financial reports.
The presenter reminded the board of a bond payment due on Sept. 1 for 2015 bonds and noted that the State Board of Accounts has begun an audit of the utility’s records. The board approved the financial statement for the period ending May 31, 2026 by motion.
