The Lawrence City Utility Service Board made significant strides in infrastructure development during its recent meeting on May 27, 2025. A key highlight was the approval of a right of entry document with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for the construction of new wells and necessary bridge upgrades in the Fort Harrison Well Field. This project is set to enhance the city's water supply and is moving forward with bids expected to open on June 17, 2025.

Superintendent reports indicated that the project plans were made available to contractors on May 23, 2025, with advertisements for bids scheduled to appear in the Indy Star on May 28 and June 4. This proactive approach aims to ensure timely progress on essential water infrastructure.

Additionally, the board approved two amendments to task orders with Wessler Engineering, totaling $17,000, for updates to water and sanitary sewer construction standards. These updates are crucial for maintaining compliance and improving service delivery.

The meeting also addressed account adjustments for residents, including a notable $1,850.91 adjustment due to a service line leak, demonstrating the board's commitment to addressing customer concerns effectively.

As the board continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements and customer service, the upcoming bid openings and project advancements signal a positive direction for Lawrence's utility services.
