SJC Regional Water and Sewer District Meeting - Thursday June 11, 2026 5:30pm

The SJC Regional Water and Sewer District meeting held on June 11, 2026, focused primarily on financial updates, rate adjustments, and municipal service expansions. The board reviewed account balances and approved claims totaling over $50,000. They discussed extending municipal utility services within district boundaries to support projects like the IEC data center and GM project, approving a motion to authorize staff to pursue interlocal agreements for extra-territorial jurisdiction. The board also considered a proposed sewer rate increase, with plans for a first reading and public hearing in August, including potential surcharges for specific waste types. Additionally, updates were provided on sewer use ordinance amendments required by IDEM to address permit compliance and pretreatment standards, particularly related to sludge handling and total suspended solids (TSS) limits. The meeting included discussions on operational costs, capital improvements, and coordination with Waste Management and IDEM for upcoming projects. A motion was passed to authorize publishing the new rate sheet once finalized.
