Welcome to the Blue River Regional Water District
In Indiana, regional water districts are governmental entities established to manage drinking water, wastewater, and solid waste (trash) infrastructure. They are formed when local governments decide to consolidate these services for an area, often to address issues with existing infrastructure or to provide services where they are lacking.
The Blue River Regional Water District Board of Trustees is the governing body responsible for overseeing the regional water district operations and ensuring it fulfills its mission. The Blue River Regional Water District Board of Trustees meet on the third Monday of each month at 4:30pm at the district office. The meeting is open to the public.
