Highland Sanitary District Faces Delays on Consent Decree Project, Proposes Interim Pump Station Construction
During a study session, the Highland Sanitary District presented an update on their consent decree with the EPA and DOJ concerning Clean Water Act violations. The project, estimated at $75 million (2020 figures), involves significant upgrades to the sewage system to address sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Due to litigation between Hammond and Munster, Highland's Phase 1 Divisions B and C are delayed. To mitigate this, the district plans an interim project to construct a new North Fifth Street pump station, focusing on dry weather and emergency bypass pumps, at an estimated cost of $24-25 million. This interim measure aims to address the obsolescence of the current station and maintain progress on the overall project, which is now projected to extend beyond 2033.
Highland Town Council Swears In Three New Police Officers

Each officer took an oath to support the Constitutions of the United States and Indiana and to faithfully discharge their duties as police officers for the town of Highland.
