RE: Additional Sewer Capacity for Hamilton Western Utilities
Dear Ms. Feller:
This letter is in response to Hamilton Western Utilities, Inc. recent request for a
construction permit for sewer service to Pine Ridge and Quail Run Subdivisions in Washington
Township, Hamilton County, Indiana.
The City of Carmel and Hamilton Western Utilities, Inc. are presently in a disagreement
over the amount of reserved sewer capacity remaining to Hamilton Western Utilities, Inc. in the
City of Carmel's collection and interceptor system. Hamilton Western Utilities, Inc. has recently
made modifications within their collection system to reduce the peak rates of flow into the City
of Carmel's interceptor. The volume of wastewater pumped from Hamilton Western into the City
of Carmel's sewer system is less than the capacity reserved to Hamilton Western.
The discharge proposed from the two developments by Hamilton Western Utilities, Inc.
will be discharged through the Neville Lane meter and into the City of Carmel's North-South
Interceptor where it will be conveyed to the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. Hamilton
Western Utilities, Inc. has sufficient reserved capacity in the City of Carmel's Wastewater
Treatment Plant for this additional flow. The City of Carmel has sufficient capacity in the North-
South Interceptor to convey the additional flow from these proposed developments and Hamilton
Western has assured us that the addition of the proposed flow will not result in a discharge
greater than their reserved capacity.
Ms. Robin Feller

The addition of the proposed wastewater flow will not cause dry or wet weather bypassing
of wastewater in the City of Carmel's interceptor or treatment system. The City of Carmel is
agreeable to receiving the additional wastewater flow proposed from these two developments.
We appreciate IDEM requesting this letter from the City of Carmel and ask that IDEM inform
us of any additional proposed wastewater discharges into our system. Please feel free to call
me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Very truly yours,
JGD/pag
