Sewer project helps Crothersville comply with water rules

CROTHERSVILLE

A Crothersville sewer project in the works for more than four years should improve the town’s compliance with state and federal regulations and help attract new industry, local officials say.

The $3.5 million project should wrap up later this month, engineer Brad Bender said Tuesday at a Crothersville Town Council meeting, just ahead of town sewer rates increasing by 4 percent in February.

Council member Ardell Mitchell said the cost for the project will total $3.5 million, including $2.8 million in construction expenses. Funding is coming from a grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
