Summary of Proceedings

New Albany Sewer Board Regular Meeting – June 25, 2026

The New Albany Sewer Board met on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 9:15 AM in Room 100 of City Hall to consider a capacity certification for a new development, sewer adjustments, and routine approvals, and to receive financial and operational reports.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the June 11, 2026 regular meeting minutes by unanimous vote.
  • Approved claims totaling $278,766 for the period June 11–24, 2026 by unanimous vote.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public signed up to speak.

Discussion Items

  • Knobs Landing Capacity Certification: Mike Wallace presented a capacity certification for a proposed mixed-use development on Old Van Sinns Road, consisting of 124 apartment units with bank and retail space on the ground floor. The project is projected to use 35,000 gallons per day. Discussion noted that the area is largely built out and a 12-inch main on the opposite side of the road can provide additional capacity. A motion to approve was made, seconded, and passed unanimously.
  • Sewer Adjustment – David and Laura Anderson: The board approved a $1,212.14 adjustment due to a water meter leak in the yard that affected two billing cycles. The property’s consumption has returned to normal. Approved unanimously.
  • Sewer Adjustment – Tustin Capital Investment: The board considered an $11,593.73 adjustment for a boiler leak in the basement that caused a single billing cycle to exceed $10,000 (normal bills are minimum bills). A board member questioned whether a sump pump involved was connected to the sewer system, which is not allowed. The board approved the adjustment contingent on verification from the property owner that the sump pump is not tied to the sewer system. Approved unanimously with the condition.
  • Financial Report: The billing revenue for the previous month was $1,141,600, within the budgeted range. No other changes from the last written report were noted.
  • Utility Report: Mike Wallace reported that the wastewater treatment plant was in full compliance for March 2026. An ongoing project involves cleaning the IPS station after debris damaged a pump; one replacement pump is still on order. Bond-funded projects are progressing, with work expected to begin soon.

Key Outcomes

  • Approved minutes of June 11, 2026.
  • Approved capacity certification for Knobs Landing.
  • Approved sewer adjustment for David and Laura Anderson.
  • Approved sewer adjustment for Tustin Capital Investment, contingent on sump pump verification.
  • Approved claims payable.
  • No other formal decisions were made.
