At a public hearing on June 10, 2009, the Town Council approved a three-year increase in sewer service charges in order to fund the debt and debt service required to build an addition to the sewer treatment plant to increase its capacity, replace outdated, obsolete and potentially unsafe facilities at the treatment plant so as to reduce the instances of overflows in the collector system and prevent overflows or bypasses in the treatment systems, to continue to implement a collection management, operation and maintenance (CMOM) plan mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Indiana Department of Environmental Management for the collection and treatment systems and cover the operating and maintenance costs of the system.  A copy of the ordinance is on file at the office of the Clerk-Treasurer of the Town of Newburgh and available for public inspection during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.
