During the next two years, community leaders across Indiana will be adopting long-term control plans to reduce an estimated 20 billion gallons of sewage overflows from Indiana’s 106 combined sewer systems. The price tag to implement these plans is estimated to run from four to six billion dollars. While the investment is substantial, the public health benefits are significant as well.

A similar issue, though without the federal mandates to force a resolution, looms for the thousands of suburban and urban homeowners with failing septic systems. An Indiana legislative committee is looking at the issue and developing recommendations to address the problem. .

Everyone knows that sewage in our streams poses a serious public health threat. But, when it comes time to decide to increase sewer bills or pay sewer connection fees, Hoosiers want to know what they are getting for their money.

This conference is designed to help community leaders:

• Make informed decisions regarding the public health issues posed by sewage In our streams; and
• Effectively communicate with the public and other leaders the issues and decisions, whatever decisions they make.
