The Lawrenceburg Utility Service Board approved a proposed 10-year agreement with MGPI that fixes flow and loading charges and, according to the city attorney, would end ongoing litigation; the board voted to approve the settlement and backdate billing to July 5, 2025.

The Utility Board authorized staff to issue an RFQ for preliminary engineering (and optional final design) for a proposed substation that would support redundancy across the system; staff said a USEDA grant opportunity and hiring of consultant SERPC informed the process.

The Utility Service Board authorized staff to advertise the US‑50 water main replacement, with engineers’ estimate just over $1,600,000 and a tentative bid opening on Sept. 7 and award on Sept. 21; staff said easements remain but are near final.

After receiving a lone bid more than 30% above estimate, the Lawrenceburg Utility Board voted to accept a $1,111,094 bid from Dave O'Meara Contractors for Lift Station 13, citing the station's deteriorating condition and risk of larger bypasses if work is delayed.

The Lawrenceburg Utility Board deferred action June 15 after receiving one bid of $1,111,094 for Lift Station 13 — well above the engineers' $810,000 estimate — and voted to table the decision until a full board can review the single proposal.

A consultant told the Lawrenceburg utility work session on April 27 that the city needs a new substation near U.S. 50/IN‑48 and reconductoring of Aurora Road and the North Circuit within the next 3–10 years to avoid transformer overloads and provide redundancy; cost estimates range from about $5–8 million for a new substation or $3–5 million to upgrade existing transformers as a postponement strategy.
