Q: How long have you been with DCRWD? 24 YEARS Q: What is your favorite part of working with the District? There are a lot of things I like about the work I do daily, but the District’s purpose to help the environment by keeping our water clean, and the people I work with would be the top reasons. Q: What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job? This District was formed in 1979 because of the groundwater pollution and failing septic systems in the county. We answer to a 7-member Board who are appointed by the agencies the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management requires. Q: How has your role evolved over time since you’ve been with the District? I started the month the first billing was sent to the Royerton customers, on February 2nd, 1999; billing, collections, and customer service were my job duties along with any other work that came up. We accepted cash and checks for payment. We had DOS-based software and no internet. Now I am the Office Manager/Bookkeeper, our software system is web-based and we accept many forms of payment online, over the phone and in the office. There have been a lot of changes, (all good!) over the years. Q: What do you think makes our team and employees unique? We all work together every day to make sure the District is running properly and to do what we can for our customers. We are like a well-oiled machine and we all take pride in the work we do. Q: Favorite song, musical artist, book, or TV show. I love all kinds of music but classic rock is my favorite. Stephen King is my favorite author. Q: When you’re not at work, what do you enjoy doing with your free time? Spending time with my family is my favorite! My grandbaby Kenzie brings me all the joy!! Family is everything!!

Delaware County Regional Wastewater District is working on a sanitary sewer capacity expansion project to relieve high rainfall events and overall issues in the Royerton area. The project has been designed and is currently with IDEM, Indiana Department of Environmental Management, for permitting. The next phase of this project will be to receive the permits from IDEM and take the project to bid for construction. Delaware County Commissioners have approved funds for this project through the American Rescue Plan. If you have any questions about the Royerton sanitary sewer capacity expansion, we invite you to attend one of our public board meetings. Our meetings are the first Wednesday of every month at 3 P.M. in the Commissioners Courtroom at the Delaware County Building.

Delaware County Regional Wastewater District is teaming up with Wes-Del Community Schools and the Town of Gaston to explore options for the school’s current wastewater treatment facility located onsite. The Delaware County Commissioners agreed to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to offset costs and escape the burden of the current treatment facility. Wes-Del wants to explore extending water service as well to both the Middle and High school locations. This would allow the Middle & High school to be provided by the Town of Gaston and could relieve the need for the current onsite well. Commonwealth is working on the engineering report to include this information.
