A new system for Helmsburg — funded and moving forward.

Our existing treatment infrastructure has reached the end of its useful life. With funding secured through Indiana's State Revolving Fund (SRF), we're replacing it with a modern modular Aeromod system built specifically for communities our size.

The new plant will handle 14,000 gallons per day — right-sized for Helmsburg today, with a clear path to serve Bean Blossom and Lake Lemon area residents in the future.
