• City Engineer’s Office, City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court;

The board will host a public meeting to present the plan at 5 p.m. Feb. 18 in the mayor’s conference room at City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court.
The plan is being developed in accordance with a legal agreement, known as the consent decree, between the sewer board, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The sewer board ratified the consent decree in August and it was later filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
