Q & A for Board of Directors Candidates
1/5/2023
- What do you see as the biggest challenge facing the Conservancy over the next 4 years (your term), and what would be your approach to overcoming it?
Matt Petersen (Area 3): In the recent past, there seems to be misinformation presented as fact, causing unnecessary division within our community. My approach is to help all Freeholders to better understand the issues at hand and the processes to resolve them. There are always multiple solutions to any problem, however, there is always one that stands out to benefit the many over the few. This creates conflict, however, with better clarity and understanding the disagreement can be minimal.

New EPA Requirement Forces CSCD Service Line Inventory
The Flint, Michigan lead catastrophe had ripple effects throughout the drinking water industry. In its wake, the EPA has become quite stringent on getting the lead out of the ground in America’s public water supplies. This led to the Lead & Copper Revised Rule, or LCRR.

Special Assessment
4/16/2021
The "ditch assessment" is the state's term for equal assessment. That is the $269 equal Freehold assessment created by Resolution 2020-9 and 2020-12, both available on the website www.cscd-in.org. Indiana has some strange terms, very similar to a Conservancy District, which isn't really to "conserve" anything, just the term used for special taxing district.
