South Harrison Water Corp. |
Sept 11, 2024 SHWC Board of Directors voted to raise water rates by 10.3%. While we are reluctant to raise rates, it has become necessary so we can properly maintain the safety and reliability of our system. The new rate tariff has been uploaded to our website. There will be a notice letter inserted in the next bill, and the increase will take effect on the bill due in November.
July 1, 2024 SHWC would like to welcome Andrew Conrad to our staff. Andrew brings a wealth of experience to us from many different occupations, and is very familiar with the area. We are glad to have him on board.
April 19, 2024 SHWC crews are out performing service line verifications due to the EPA's service line inventory due in October. Our crews are using a hydro-vac trailer, or hand digging at times. If you know your service line material composition and please let us know so we can save a trip to your place. Thanks
April 2, 2024 Please view an SHWC statement about PFAS. link.
March 5, 2024 South Harrison Water Corp. now has a Facebook Page. We will use it for important announcements and outage updates. Please like, follow and share.
November 3, 2023 SHWC Field Tech Josh Law has passed his DSL test. He is now a certified water operator licensed by the state of Indiana.
September 13, 2023 The SHWC board of directors unanimously voted to raise the retail water rates. The increase will go as follows, a $4 increase on the base rate, and a 12% increase on the water itself. This results in a 17.7% increase overall. The new rate tariff has been uploaded to our website. Inflation spurred the majority of the charge. There will be a notice letter inserted in the next bill, and the increase will take effect on the bill due in November. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these trying times.
August 3, 2023 SHWC Field Tech Phil Morgan has passed his DSL test. He is now a certified water operator licensed by the state of Indiana.
April 5, 2023 SHWC would like to congratulate Bill Stewart on his 28th year of employment at SHWC. Bill is one of the best treatment plant operators in the entire state of Indiana. He always goes above and beyond to make sure all of our customers have high quality H2O!
March 9, 2023 SHWC would like to congratulate Laura Miller on her 25th year of employment at SHWC. We can not thank her enough for all she does to keep this place going!

July 21, 2022 The board of directors voted last night to hire Bradley "BJ" Lillpop as the new General Manager of South Harrison Water. BJ has 20 years experience in the water utility industry, including 12 years previously at South Harrison Water. He will begin August 29th in his new role. There will be a transition period from our current GM to Mr. Lillpop.
June 29, 2022 The annual CCR, or water quality report, was mailed out with the bills due July 15th. It is also posted on our web site under the link "CCRs & Newsletters". If you have any questions, just call our office.

May 12, 2022 The board of directors voted at our May meeting to increase the fee to set a new water service meter to $2,000 beginning August 1, 2022. If you know you are going to need a water meter this summer or fall, you may go ahead and do the paperwork and pay for it now. We are notifying our customers of this change ahead of time. Material costs have rapidly increased the past two years and many items have more than doubled. Many of our utility neighbors are charging from $2,000 to $2,500 for a new residential meter.
March 14, 2022 The board of directors voted at our meeting last week to hold our Annual Membership Meeting "drive thru" style like we have done the last two years.

February 10, 2022 Our Well Head Protection team met last night. We discussed many items to help protect our drinking water source of ground water at our well field. We purchased 17 additional acres at our well field site. We repaired major erosion damage caused by years of poor farming practices. We have enrolled these acres in the CRP program and will plant trees later this spring. Surrounding property owned by the Nature Conservancy was either planted in trees last year, or will be planted in trees this year. We have mailed out our annual letters to adjoining property owners and will run an ad in the Corydon Democrat about Protecting Our Drinking Water on March 9th. Please help us protect your drinking water. It is our most precious resource.
January 26, 2022 Our annual customer newsletter has been inserted with the water bills due February 15th. An online version, and all of our old newsletters, is available on our web site at the link for "CCRs & Newsletters".

You should receive an email to log in and reset your password. We also have a new 24 hour pay by phone option ..... 812-215-8183.
October 12, 2021 We will upgrade our online payment portal at the end of the month. It may be offline for a short time. Existing users will receive an email to reset their passwords for the new system. We will also have an automated pay by phone 24 hour number you can use for debit & credit card transactions. All transactions will have the normal 2.7% transaction fee. The dedicated phone number is 812-215-8183. If you prefer to speak to our office persons, please call the regular number during working hours at 812-968-3425. We will continue to take card payments over the phone with the same transaction fee applied.
October 1, 2021 Our water rates increased with the bills due October 15th. The base rate per meter was raised $4 / month and the retail tariff was raised 4.6%. Customers were notified with an insert to their water bills the last two months. An article also appeared in the Corydon Democrat September 22nd issue.
August 11, 2021 SHW is attempting to gain funding for a water main project in the Shiloh Road (Shiloh Woods Subdivision) and from Green Acres DR along Heidelberg RD (to Valley View RD) area. This project will allow fire hydrants to be installed which will reduce your home owner's insurance rates. Please see more information and sign our online petition on Change.org at the link [www.Change.org] to support our project.
July 15, 2021 The Board of Directors voted last night to increase water rates beginning with the bills due October 15th. There will be an overall increase of 4.6% plus an increase in the Base Charge of $4.00. We will insert a page in the water bills due August 15th and also September 15th further explaining the increase. Since our big rate increase in 2010, we have continually communicated that we will be doing more frequent rate increases to keep them smaller.
June 7, 2021 Our Annual Water Quality Report (aka CCR) is now available on our web site. Click the link "Newsletters & CCRs" and look for the 2020 CCR. It is in .pdf format. All past CCRs and Newsletters are also at that link. The 2020 CCR will also be inserted in all water bills that are due July 15th.
May 20, 2021 Our annual membership meeting was held last night "drive thru style". Congratulations to board members Allen Pursell, Matt Rothrock, and Glenn Walker for being re-elected to three year terms.
May 1, 2021 Our vendor is still not ready to upgrade our online bill payment system. They have been having issues at other utilities where they have already upgraded their systems. We have chosen to delay the upgrade. We do NOT want to roll out a system that is full of bugs to our customers. That is not good for either you or us! We will announce here later when the system is ready to be upgraded.
April 6, 2021 The planned upgrade to our online bill payment system that we announced in our annual newsletter, did not go into affect becasue of a computer server issue. The upgrade has been delayed until April 22nd. The new system should go live on April 23rd.
April 6, 2021 The office is fully open for walk in business. We ask you wear a mask, but it is not mandatory.
March 10, 2021 The 2021 Annual Member Meeting will be held "drive thru style" just like last year due to the Covid 19 virus. The meeting will be May 19, 2021 at our warehouse building next door to our office at 2381 New Middletown RD SE, Corydon, IN. You may drive thru from 6PM until 730PM. The deadline to sign up for the board of directors is April 19th at 4:30PM.
February 22, 2021 We are NOT under a boil water advisory and have NOT been recently. The information shared on social media over the past weekend was incorrect. White looking water (we call it milky water because it looks like skim milk) is caused by micro air bubbles being entrapped in the water during a leak repair and subsequent flushing of the water lines. If you draw up a clear glass of this water and sit it on the counter, the air bubbles will rise to the top and dissipate. Air bubbles are not a health concern. We will flush water lines this week to clear up any residual air in our system.
January 16, 2021 Our annual customer newsletter will be inserted with your water bill due Febuary 15th. It is now available on our web site. Click the link for "CCRs & Newsletters".

March 26, 2019 Due to the very wet year we had in 2018 and the early change to winter weather last fall, we have many, many places we have dug for leak repairs, etc. We have a contractor lined up to do some of the repair work and to seed and staw. SHW crews have also already started to do some clean up work. Customers on Ripperdan Valley RD, Heth Washington RD and New Amsterdam RD where we did the water main project last year .... please be advised the contractor will be returning very soon to take care of those areas. Customers along Corydon-New Middletown RD where the water lines were relocated due to the road project .... please contact the County Highway Dept. We have no control over their contractor. We do apologize for the inconvenience our digging causes, however, the weather simply must dry up some before these areas can be properly cleaned up.
March 26, 2019 We continue to change out water meters to automated meter reading (AMR) and plan to be 100% finished by the end of 2020. This year we will install about 350 AMR meters. Customers are sent a letter prior to their meter being changed out.
March 26, 2019 The board of directors at our March meeting voted to proceed with the construction of a new warehouse building next to our office in New Middletown. This much needed building will allow us to store our trucks and equipment inside and out of the weather. Construction should begin this summer.

We installed 12 new fire hydrants in that area of our water system and if you are within 1,000 feet you could recieve a rate reduction from your inurance company. The letter is just a reminder that you should call your agent to check if you qualify.

January 3, 2018 Winter weather is fully upon us. Single digit temperatures and wind chills below zero mean exposed water lines will quickly freeze. Some tips for our customers: Make sure crawl space vents are closed; disconnect hoses from outside faucets; inspect - then turn on your heat tape; trailer under pinning should be tight and secure; meter lids should be on tightly; place a bale of straw over your meter lid if it has frozen before; open cabinet doors if water lines to sinks are on an outside wall; you may leave a faucet run a very small stream to prevent your lines from freezing (and no we will not adjust your water bill); and finally .... our crew will thaw out a frozen water meter, but we are not responsible for frozen customer water lines from the meter to the house. There are many local plumbers you can call for further assistance if your private lines are frozen.

The funding from the State ($442,000) along with the matching funds from Heth Twp. VFD ($350,000), means that we have $792,000 total to complete the engineering, plans, specifications, inspection and the construction of 3 miles of new 6" water main that will replace old 3" mains. This will allow fire hydrants to be installed all the way to New Amsterdam. Thanks to much hard work from the Heth Twp. VFD, and support from South Harrison Water and our County Commissioners, this project is now a go.
May 19, 2017 Our 44th Annual Membership Meeting was held last night at New Middletown School. Thank you to all who attended and showed interest in their water company.

Congratulations to these elected board members.
April 3, 2017. We have submitted our grant application to the State of Indiana for the funds necessary to complete the proposed Washington Twp. water line upgrades. We are working with the Harrison County Commissioners and the Heth Twp. Fire Dept. on obtaining these grant funds. We will find out in June if we receive these funds. If we receive approval of the funding in June, then we will begin drawing up plans and talking to property owners along the proposed route. If we do not receive the funding in June, we can reapply to the State in September. No work will be done on this project until full funding is secure and in place.

November 15, 2016. SHW is working with Heth Twp. VFD officials on a grant application to upgrade lines so fire hydrants can be installed in Washington Twp. of Harrison County. Heth VFD went door to door with an income survey in Washington Twp. and we do qualify to submit the OCRA grant application to the State of Indiana in April 2017. This is all still preliminary and there is NO guarantee that we will receive the grant. Heth Twp. VFD is willing to use a portion of their Harrison County Riverboat Funds to help pay for the line upgrades. The grant will need to be sponsored by the Harrison County Commissioners, on behalf of SHW and Heth Twp. VFD. The water line to be upgraded begins at the intersection of Heth-Washington RD & Ripperdan Valley RD and extends west for 3 miles, ending near the intersection of New Amsterdam RD & Wesley Chapel RD.
August 19, 2016. An announcement will be on the water bills regarding Heth Twp. VFD officials going door to door in Washington Twp. of Harrison County with an income survey that will qualify us for a possible grant application for water system improvements in that area.
May 19, 2016. The annual Membership Meeting was held last night at South Central School. Business included a review of 2015 utility and financial numbers.

March 23, 2016. The water rate tariff goes into effect with the water bills due April 15th. The new tariff can be viewed or printed out from our Home page at www.southharrisonwater.com. Click the link that says "Rate Schedule". You will need Acrobat Reader to view the file.
February 11, 2016. We have received a few phone calls regarding the lead issues in Flint, Michigan. Much mis-information has come from the news media regarding this matter. First and foremost, the lead is NOT in the source of water being pumped by Flint. However, Flint does have many lead service lines that date back over 60 years old. Almost every old city in America has some lead lines in service. As long as Flint's test results are below the level set by US EPA, they are allowed to change them out over a long period of time. The lead problem that Flint has is a result of the lead leaching out of these very old pipes into the drinking water. Flint was purchasing their water from the City of Detroit and had no problems. In a move to save money, Flint started pumping and treating their own water from the Flint River and stopped buying Detroit water. The chemistry (pH, alkalinity, hardness, turbidity, etc.) of the two water sources were quite different and they apparantly did not take this into proper consideration. The difference in water chemistry caused the lead to leach out at a high rate and enter the drinking water. Again, the lead is not in the Flint River water source. It is in the old lead pipes and is leaching into the water out in Flint's distribution system.
South Harrison Water DOES NOT HAVE any lead pipes, lead service lines, nor any lead jointed pipe in service. Because we were formed in 1972, the practice of using lead pipes was already history. Our water lines are made from PVC, concrete, and ductile iron. All utilities test for lead (and copper too) on a schedule mandated by the US EPA. The number of tests, and the frequency of these tests, are set by US EPA and are not in our control. They also require the samples to be taken inside the customer's home. This is the only sampling that we do inside a customer residence. EPA requires this because they know the most common source of lead and copper is the customer's own plumbing inside their home. In fact, if a customer has a home plumbed with plastic pipes, the EPA will not allow us to use that as a sample site. All of our test results have been below the standards set by US EPA. When we do test for lead and copper, test results from each individual sample site are mailed to that customer. All of our required water quality testing is summarized in the Annual Water Quality Report (also know as a Consumer Confidence Report or CCR) that we mail out every June. All of our historical CCR's our on our website. From our Home page, click the link that says "CCRs & Newsletters". You will need Acrobat Reader to view these files.
What happened in Flint is a tradgedy and a public health crisis. We are not taking sides, nor passing blame. We do, however, want our customers to be properly informed.
February 9, 2016. Every customer that has received an AMR meter was first mailed a letter with an insert explaining how to read the meter. If you have mis-placed this information, it is available on our web site. On the Home screen, click the "Forms" link and then click "How To Read Your AMR Meter". You need Acrobat Reader to view this file.
January 19, 2016. The annual customer newsletter will be inserted in your water bill next month. Please read for information.
January 14, 2016. The board of directors unanimously voted last night to raise retail water rates 9% across the board. The rate increase will take effect with water bills due April 15, 2016. Our financials supported an 11% increase,but the board held the line at 9%. The increase means our average customer using about 4,200 gallons per month, will see an increase of $3.69 per month. The bill for 4,200 gallons would therefore go from $41.04 to $44.73 (including tax).
October 1, 2015. The new service charge is now $1,000 plus the $110 membership fee.
July 28, 2015. Our NEW bill payment / portal web site is now online for customer use. Remember you must create a new account login and password under the new system. If you were signed up for e-billing under the old system, you must re-enroll for e-billing on the new system.
July 24, 2015. Our bill payment / portal web site is now off line because we are changing to a new vendor. Our bill payment site should be back online Tuesday July 28th. Online users will have to create a new login to the new system at that time. E-billing customers WILL receive a paper bill in the mail around August 1st. You can then login and re-request to receive e-bill alerts at that time. We are sorry for the inconvenience this necessary change may cause.
July 10, 2015. Our bill payment / portal web site will be off-line from July 24th through the 28th due to converting to our new system. If you need assistance or want to make a card payment on your account during this time, please call our office. We can take your payment over the phone. When the new system comes online July 28th, you will need to create a new online account. We are sorry for the inconvenience this necessary upgrade may cause.
June 5, 2015. SHW will be changing billing vendors starting with the water bills that customers will receive on or about August 1st. We have had many recent problems with the current vendor and this change is very necessary. To make this change, our online billing portal will be shut down on or about July 20, 2015 for one week. The new site should be back up on July 28, 2015. You may call the office during working hours to make a debit or credit card payment during that time. Also, if you have created an account on our online system, you will be required to re-create an account with the new system. We apologize for that inconveinence.

March 4, 2015. There are requirements for running for the board of directors. You may read them in our Bylaws link on our home page. They include: You must be an actual member of the corporation; you must be receiving our drinking water in your primary residence; you cannot be related to an existing director or employee; you must live in the district you plan to run for; you must be a member in good standing (cannot owe a past due bill / cannot have made multiple late payments on your account); and you must declare your intentions in writing at least 30 days prior to our annual membership meeting. Once you meet these requirements, your name will be put on the ballot and the members at our annual meeting will vote. If you are interested in running, you may contact Board President Kenny Saulman; General Manager Bruce Cunningham; or Nomination Committee Chairman Larry Day.
March 1, 2015. At our last board of directors meeting, the board voted to raise the tap on fee for a regular residential water meter (5/8" x 3/4") to $1,000 plus the $110 membership fee. This increase is due to increases in labor and especially material items. Larger meters will be calculated on an as needed basis. The US EPA required changes in the makeup of Brass water plumbing items that increased their costs by over 30%. This includes many items we use to set a new water service meter. The price increase will take effect October 1, 2015. This will give ample time for those customers that may want to install a second meter, or those that may be building a new home, to get the meter paid for PRIOR to the increase on 10/1/15. A notice will be included in our Annual Water Quality Report and a press release will also be made to the Corydon Democrat.
January 15, 2015. Some customers have inquired about fluoride in drinking water because another Harrison County utility is considering whether to stop adding it to their drinking water. Our board of directors met last night at their regular monthly meeting and this item was discussed. The position of South Harrison Water is that the addition of fluoride to our drinking water is a public health issue that we support. Fluoride is added at 1.0 parts per million. A part per million is like one penny out of $10,000.00. These low levels of fluoride promote strong tooth enamel and overall dental health. Fluoride levels are tested every day of the year by our licensed & certified operators. Fluoride test results are shown in our Annual Water Quality Report mailed to every customer address in June. All of these reports are also available on our web site. In addition, we should state that we are also proud that our utility has received the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Water Fluoridation Quality Award for at least the past 12 years in a row. This award is given by the US Department of Health & Human Services to utility companies that add fluoride at the specified level (1.0 ppm) and maintain that level throughout the year within a very narrow +/- range. We are proud of our utility staff's continual efforts to maintain both safe and adequate drinking water 24 hours per day ..... 365 days per year.
