Clay Township Regional Waste District celebrated its 43rd anniversary on June 3. It has grown to serve customers in four townships within three counties. To better reflect this demographic, today the District’s name becomes TriCo Regional Sewer Utility.
The District was created in 1975 to provide effective and efficient sanitary sewer service to address a long-standing health problem in Home Place caused by poor soils and failing septic systems. Another benefit of the creation of the District was its ability to provide the sanitary sewer infrastructure needed for environmentally sound development as Clay and Eagle Townships experienced exponential growth.
The District has grown to provide service in portions of Hamilton, Boone and Marion counties. Due to the regional nature of the sewer service provided by the District, the Board of Trustees petitioned the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to change the District’s name. On May 7, IDEM issued the order to change the District’s name to TriCo Regional Sewer Utility.
