Dubois Water Utilities, Inc. was established in 1965 and supplies water to a number of residential, commercial and agricultural customers in Dubois, Martin and Orange Counties. In order to meet current and future flow demands, the proposed project consisted of constructing 750,000 and 500,000 gallon storage tanks and 32 miles of 12-inch through 3-inch water mains to reinforce and replace portions of the distribution system and to serve 40 new customers as well as constructing a new meter pit with Patoka Lake Water and replacing an existing booster station and SCADA system. This major upgrade project will allow the Dubois Water Utility to serve its existing water customers and also allows them to supply water to growth areas throughout the county. The original project cost was $5,771,000 with the final costs coming in at $5,772,000.

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.
