Floyds Knobs Water Utility seeks fee, abandonment invoice and relocation estimate; county to consider

Danny Standiford, representing Floyds Knobs Water Utility, presented three separate requests to the board. He first asked the county to consider adopting or clarifying road-cut permit fees for emergency after-hours work. He then presented an invoice to the county totaling $23,801.45 for abandoning a 4-inch cast iron main on Old Vincennes Road and said the water company hoped to utilize leftover ARP funds from other projects to cover the cost.

Finally, Standiford described a conflict at the northwest corner of Schreiber and Old Vincennes Roads, where an 8-inch water main lies in the way of installing a storm drain and related concrete structures; his crew believes a bypass option is feasible but removing the main would clear the intersection. He said the estimated cost to relocate the main is approximately $9,105. Commissioners took all three items under advisement; no votes or funding commitments were recorded in the meeting minutes.

The transcript did not specify timelines for decisions or whether ARP funds would be approved for the invoice.
