Borden-Sellersburg Regional Wastewater Cooperative
Overview
The Town of Borden and Town of Sellersburg are unifying efforts for wastewater service within each Town and central Clark County as a whole. Project includes: construction and connection of a new regional wastewater station within the Town Center District of Sellersburg and a new forcemain that will connect to Borden's WWTP. This will allow the Starlight Community to connect directly to Borden via Star Valley Way and provide Borden with much needed capacity for future growth without WWTP expansion. The Indiana State Recreational Area (Deam Lake) will also connect to eliminate the need for the outdated IDNR owned WWTP. Also included are upgrades within the Borden collection system and installation of new gravity sewer lines along Star Valley Way to the existing businesses in Starlight to provide service to current and future developments. Partnerships include: Regional Development Authority, Town of Borden, Town of Sellersburg, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Indiana Finance Authority, and United States Department of Agriculture. The READI funds will be used to complete design and engineering. Approximate timeline is November 2022 through March 2023. Outcomes: Provide Borden with needed capacity for future growth. Connect to Deam Lake to eliminate the need for the outdated IDNR owned WWTP. Installation of new gravity sewer lines along Star Valley Way to the existing businesses in Starlight to provide service to current and future developments.
