Top issues during term (20)(Water Utilities)
NIPSCO staffing, reliability and storm response
Residents could see higher electric bills, especially if meters are estimated rather than read.
2026 Turkey Creek Maintenance Phase 1
$103,875 in emergency removal invoices.
Hanover Tile reconstruction and $1.4M property assessments
A $1.4 million project whose costs will be spread across watershed property owners, though permit savings cut the price by millions.

Calumet Township sewage operations funding
$170,500 from the township sewage fund.
June storm flooding in Schererville Heights and unincorporated St. John Township

$103,875 in emergency invoices approved.
Recurring residential drainage complaints

Groundwater depletion and well failures
Well repairs and new wells can cost families thousands of dollars with no clear recourse.
Collapsed storm pipe and flooding at 11023 West 80th Court, St. John
About $100,000 to replace the pipe — $92,000 assessed to the homeowner, $8,000 to the county — though an open-ditch alternative could cut that roughly in half.
Spring Street Ditch culvert replacement in Highland
Cost not yet established; the county is seeking outside financial assistance.
