Today the Indiana
Utility Regulatory Commission authorized the receiver of Arlington Utilities to
sell the assets to Arlington Regional Water and Sewer District.
McMahon and Associates,
Inc. made the request in Cause 41540.
The Huntington Circuit Court appointed McMahon and Associates as the
Receiver for Arlington Utilities on September 28, 2000. McMahon has managed all aspects of the
water and sewer utility since that time.
Extensive repairs
were necessary when the Receiver took over in September 2000, and it is
apparent that alternative solutions for long-term water and sewer services are
necessary.
Arlington Regional
Water and Sewer District consists of the homeowners of Arlington Heights. Money for the $1.4 million dollar sale will
come from the Indiana Drinking Water and Wastewater State Revolving funds. The money will be used to acquire the existing
water and sewer systems and to fund the construction of main extensions for
both water and sewer from the Town of Roanoke.
The Town of Roanoke
will take over the operation of the utilities and when connections are
complete, the existing Arlington treatment facilities and water supply will be
retired from service.
District Customers
will pay a combined water and sewer rate of $90 per month. If the grants and loans are not approved, or
if sewer bills will exceed $90 a month, Arlington Rural Water and Sewer
District will not close on the transaction and the assets will remain the
property of Arlington Utilities.
Arlington Utilities serves about 66 homes and 200 people who live in Arlington Heights.
