The City of Lawrence, Indiana Utility Service Board met on October 13, 2026. The board approved the minutes of its September 17 executive and special meetings and September 22 regular meeting, as well as the claims. Utilities requested approval of the contract agreement and notice to proceed for the water main replacements project, previously awarded to Miller Pipeline LLC at the board’s September 8 meeting. The stated agreement amount was transcribed as “$3,524,9760” (likely $3,524,976.00); the project’s substantial completion date is June 10, 2027, with final completion July 10, 2027. The board approved the agreement following a motion and second.

The board also approved a rehabilitation project not to exceed $692,700. The superintendent described an associated project phase covering design through final design, bidding, construction administration, inspections, and post-construction work, intended to reduce inflow and infiltration as part of an EPA administrative order on consent. The transcript does not clearly identify the vendor or full scope of the rehabilitation approval. No account adjustments or ratepayer disconnect disputes were presented, and there were no citizen comments.
