DEPARTMENT REPORT
Director Ashack discussed the DWWTP Final NPDES Permit, effective March 1,
2026. He will provide a draft of the 2026 Edition of Jeffersonville Sanitary Sewer
Construction Standards before the next Sewer Board meeting. Director Ashack reviewed
the January 2026 WWTP Loadings and CSO Overflows. Director Ashack also advised
of a new project at 350 Eastern Boulevard for a mixed-use development, which will flow
to the DWWTP.
Director Ashack added that the Street Departments list of proposed milling and
paving was sent to departments, and Spring Street from Market to near 7th Street was
listed. The sanitary sewer lines through that area need replaced, the lateral connections
along Spring Street are not in the best shape. Mayor Moore asked when this would need
to be done, do we have the funds to complete it and how long would it take. Josh Darby
responded that he would have an estimate at the next meeting.
