SIOA Indiana Finance Authority Meeting & Plant Tour

In 2018, the State convened the Water Infrastructure Task Force (“Task Force”) to study drinking water and wastewater utility needs and best practices in Indiana. One recommendation of the Task Force was for the State to assist utilities with long term planning by establishing Water Infrastructure Study Areas for the purpose of studying supply and demand, drought preparedness, infrastructure needs, and opportunities for utility collaboration within a region.

As a result of these recommendations, the 2019 Indiana General Assembly enacted Senate Enrolled Act 4. (“SEA 4”) requiring the IFA to conduct regional meetings throughout the state to enable drinking water and wastewater utilities to work together to address long term needs. SEA 4 also requires drinking water and wastewater utilities to report their participation in the meetings to the IFA. Communities seeking SRF funding must attend a Regional Planning Meeting. Sarah Hudson from IFA will be leading the meeting, and attendance at the meeting counts for your yearly requirement!

There will also be WWTP tours offered before the meeting. Registration is $10 per person.

Plant Tours: 10am-12pm

Lunch and Presentation: 12pm-1pm
