The St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners has taken action related to plans by the White Pigeon Sanitary System Board for treatment plant and system upgrades expected to cost $2.85 million.

During their meeting Tuesday (September 6th), commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution for ‘White Pigeon Sanitary Sewer Property Conveyance.’

The resolution notes that “St. Joseph County by and through its Board of Public Works entered into an agreement on November 26, 1979 with the Village of White Pigeon and the Township of White Pigeon for financing the Klinger Lake Sanitary System.”  It also says the agreement calls for passage of ownership of real property on Indian Prairie Road, White Pigeon, which is the location of the White Pigeon Sanitary System plant, to the Village of White Pigeon and the Township of White Pigeon upon payment in full.  According to the County Treasurer, “the Wastewater System Bonds dated February 1, 1997 for $1,400,000 were paid in full on October 29, 2009.”

The resolution approves a warranty deed for the property and authorizes the Chairman of the Board and the County Administrator to sign the document.
