“I appreciate everything they’re doing. They’re cleaning up streams, rivers … I think a lot of people don’t realize how much they’re doing,” Mayor Dan Rickord said of the Adams County Regional Sewer District.
Rickord’s comments came at a recent city council meeting as the district’s superintendent, Nathan Scherer (photo), brought to council a detailed report of what his organization is doing throughout the county.
Scherer told council that Decatur’s wastewater treatment plant is currently servicing 976 homes in the county, with another 360 homes targeted for the future.
The report showed the district has 119 customers in the Monmouth area; 124 in the Arcadia Village and Pleasant Mills area; 88 in the Bobo/US 33/Salem area; 103 in Linn Grove; and 138 in Preble and Peterson, with 12 of those yet to be completed.
Also, there are 141 customers in the areas of Barrington Woods and Clem’s Lake, with one to be completed; 79 customers in the Sunnybrook Addition, with 20 in need of completion; 90 in Oakwood Addition.
Also, 39 in Magley, where billing began Oct. 1; 61 customers in the Winchester Road area who have received notices to connect; and 96 customers in Clem’s Lake South, not yet started.
