The Northwest Shelby County Regional Sewer District appears to be dissolving after a decision by Shelby County Commissioners Monday.

The commissioners passed a resolution that calls for the filing of a petition by the City of Shelbyville that would dissolve the district that was created in the summer of 2012.

No sewer development has come to the area with the district’s implementation.  District president Jeremy Miller says one of the main roadblocks was costs per resident remained high and no plan had changed that.

Several northwestern Shelby County residents attended the meeting including Miller.  Miller asked for the issue to be tabled and told commissioners that he had an agreement

A future effort at sewers for the region, including the fast developing Pleasant View corridor off of I-74, will be funded, in part, with TIF funds from projects at the site.  The existence of a  regional sewer district was believed to impede on another service area looking to establish within the established region.

If IDEM agrees, an order would be issued to dissolve the district and distribute remaining assets after all liabilities had been paid.
