Koontz Lake Regional Sewer District

The Koontz Lake Regional Sewer District was established by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management under Indiana Code (IN 13-26) to provide essential wastewater infrastructure for the community. Our system, constructed in 2012 with $10.2 million in funding from USDA Rural Development, combines a $4.6 million grant and a $5.6 million loan to ensure sustainable operations. Governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees appointed by Starke and Marshall Counties, we prioritize cost-effective management while maintaining financial stability for future generations. Our mission focuses on delivering safe, efficient wastewater services while minimizing current costs through responsible governance. With over a decade of operational experience, we leverage expertise in wastewater treatment and infrastructure management to address community needs.

As a trusted public utility, we adhere to strict environmental standards and regulatory compliance to protect local ecosystems. Our team is committed to transparency, proactive communication, and community engagement to ensure reliable service delivery. We continuously monitor system performance, including commercial user compliance, to maintain optimal functionality. By investing in modern billing technology and customer service platforms, we enhance accessibility for residents. Our dedication to emergency preparedness ensures rapid response to critical infrastructure issues, safeguarding public health and environmental integrity.
