The Town Council commissioned a sewer capacity study, which revealed that growth near the I-64 interchange would soon exceed the existing sewer and sewage plant capacity. The new plant would receive sewage thru a new interceptor sewer.
Meanwhile, Harrison County Officials began consideration of the formation of a county regional sewer district. The Town of Corydon and Harrison County officials quickly realized that Corydon's proposed plant could also serve as a treatment center for this budding sewer district.
In a cooperative effort, the County and Town discussed project funding. The new facilities, designed for 1.0 MGD, include 0.35 MGD capacity for the new Harrison County Regional Sewer District. Overcoming a number of site constraints, construction began in August 2007. Bid at $3.94 million, the plant's final construction cost was $3.96 million.
