# LaPorte County Regional Sewer & Water District Board November 5, 2026

The LaPorte County Regional Sewer & Water District Board meeting was held November 5, 2026. The board approved claims totaling $47,662.48, including a $13,320 annual insurance premium. It authorized a roof inspection and repair up to $1,000, and approved an $8,320 pump-related quote to pull the pump and replace its 10-horsepower motor and submersible cable, disinfect the system, and collect a sample. The board also approved a revised operations and maintenance agreement with a monthly fee stated as $4,331.63; the agreement provides for possible CPI-based adjustments every 12 months. Payment Application No. 15 was approved, as was Contract B Change Order No. 10, which was reported as a net deduction of $2,593.45 (the transcript gives a different figure earlier in the discussion).

Project updates focused on construction and infrastructure. The project representative reported that the contractor’s proposed cured-in-place force-main repair was rejected because it would reduce the pressure-testing requirement from 150 psi to 75 psi; the contractor is investigating the leak and damage, and the repair scope and schedule remain unresolved. The board received an update on the remaining work and retainage for another contract, with a proposal to address partial retainage release at a future meeting. A motion was made to approve district execution of a right-of-entry agreement for the Toro Road water project, but the vote result is not clear in the transcript. The board also discussed a required cybersecurity vulnerability assessment due by December 31, 2026. No procurement award or approval for that assessment was recorded.
