Topics getting the most attention in Warren County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
North water plant expansion and wholesale water future
The north treatment plant is running at 90% of its 9.7 million-gallon-per-day capacity in summer peaks. The county plans to drill three new wells (about $1 million) en route to a $30 million expansion to 17 million gallons per day — positioning Warren County to sell wholesale water to other jurisdictions.
Emergency tree removal at Nunner Road Lift Station
Rotting trees at the Nunner Road Lift Station were slated for emergency removal to protect the wastewater facility. Lift station failures can mean sewer backups and service disruptions for nearby residents.
Bear and Salt Run sewershed study and Village on the Green lift station
The county is paying an engineering firm to study the Bear and Salt Run sewershed and plan lift station upgrades. It's early-stage work that could shape future sewer service and rates in that area.
Franklin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant assumption
The county took an emergency step — buying software licenses and migration services — as it assumes operation of the Franklin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. That transition matters for sewer customers in the western part of the county.
