Water Clarity Issues - Summerlake & Springbrook

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:14:36 GMT

The Town is aware of water clarity concerns reported by residents in the Summerlake and Springbrook subdivisions and is actively working to address them.

Our water utility operator, Aqua America, began a system-wide hydrant flushing program in October of last year. Due to early cold weather, crews were unable to complete flushing in these two subdivisions. That work is scheduled to resume and should be completed over the next month or so, as the system must be flushed in a specific sequence to ensure effectiveness.

We also want to make residents aware that several hydrants in the area were recently accessed without authorization in an attempt to flush the system. Unfortunately, this caused additional disturbance in the water lines and contributed to the current clarity issues.

As flushing operations continue, residents may notice temporary discoloration at times. While this can be inconvenient, please be assured that the water is tested regularly and continues to meet all state safety standards. If a boil water advisory is ever necessary, residents will be notified immediately.

If you observe anyone accessing a hydrant without authorization, please contact the Water Utility Department - (317) 485-4321 watercompany@ingalls.in.gov and, if possible, provide photos or any helpful details.

We appreciate your patience as we complete this process.

Notice to Water Customers

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:31:23 GMT

Notice to Water Customers - Ongoing Hydrant Flushing

We are aware that some customers have recently experienced discolored water. While we understand it doesn’t look ideal, please be assured the water is safe and potable. The discoloration is caused by naturally occurring minerals that build up in the lines over time. This is the same type of mineral presence commonly found in private well water. When a third party opens a hydrant without properly flushing it, those minerals can be disturbed and temporarily discolor the water.

To maintain water quality, we conduct eight water tests each month from various locations in the service area. These samples confirm the water remains safe for our customers. If there are ever any concerns regarding the quality and safety of the water in a particular area, the Water Utility will issue a Boil Water Advisory.

A full system flush has begun and will continue over the next two to three weeks. This process involves opening every hydrant to clear built-up minerals from the system. During this work, some customers may notice temporary discoloration, but the water will remain safe for all uses.

We appreciate your patience as we complete this work to improve system reliability and water quality

Request for Proposals / Qualifications for Potential Downtown Improvements

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:35:42 GMT

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS/QUALIFICATIONS

POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT, ADDITION, OR REPLACEMENT OF TOWN FACILITIES

TOWN OF INGALLS, INDIANA

I. PROJECT INTRODUCTION:

In accordance with IC 5-23-5, the Town of Ingalls, Indiana (the “Town”), invites any and all qualified parties to submit Proposals and Statements of Qualifications to design, construct, renovate, and/or transfer improvements related to the development, renovation, and/or relocation of Town facilities and infrastructure(the “Project”) under a public-private partnership. The purpose and intent of the Project is to fulfill essential operational, infrastructure, and/or public safety needs for the community and to meet the Town’s obligations to provide safe and secure facilities for such purpose.

II. PROJECT SCOPE:

The selected proposer will provide all development services, design services, site work, labor and material to develop and construct the Project. Although the Town has a clear need for new or renovated facilities and infrastructure, the scope of the Project is not determined. The final Project scope will be determined through a scoping period with the selected proposer, during which the selected proposer will be required to provide existing facility analysis, site analysis, design, and construction analysis to create a final scope and a guaranteed budget. The scoping period is anticipated to be a very intense and fast-paced process, with the goal of achieving a guaranteed price and final schematic design in Spring, 2025 in order to accomplish a construction groundbreaking in Summer, 2025. As part of the scoping process, the selected proposer may be asked to investigate potential improvements needed for structural, public safety, code compliance, accessibility, operational efficiency, and energy efficiency purposes. The Town has multiple facilities that potentially need improvements, additions, or replacement, but have limited funds to do so. As part of the required scoping period deliverables, the selected team must provide constructability analysis, budgets, schedules, and other necessary information for the Town to determine a priority list of the potential Projects. Upon receiving satisfactory scoping period deliverables from the selected offeror, the Town will move forward with the Project and selected offeror via resolution or ordinance at a public hearing to complete the design, construction, and development of the Project. If (1) the selected offeror is unable to produce satisfactory deliverables including a guaranteed budget, or (2) the Town determines that the Project is not necessary or wise based on the results of the scoping period, then the Town will begin a new scoping period with another offeror or cancel this RFPQ process altogether. In either event, the resulting scoping period deliverables will be solely owned by the Town, and the Town may use the information from the scoping period deliverables for its use and benefit. Further, the Town reserves the right to pursue additional or alternate procurement processes if necessary.

ADDENDUM #1

The Town of Ingalls has previously engaged American Structurepoint, Inc. to assist with the preliminary scoping of the desired Town Facilities. The Town desires to continuing its partnership with American Structurepoint as the project’s designer. However, the Town has not yet determined whether the design services contract will be included within the BOT agreement or will remain a separate contract directly with the Town. BOT teams are requested to provide an approach that accommodates either scenario. The scope and fee for design services will be negotiated at a later date and are not expected to be included in the RFP response.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS

Q1) What stage of design/engineering are you currently at with the town hall and road?

A1) Both projects have had some preliminary cost estimates and conceptual designs completed.

Q2) How many linear feet are you including in this project for the road portion?

A2) For the road segment, the project area is Meridian Street from the railroad to Washington Street, and 3rd Avenue from Randall Street to the alley west of the Town Hall building. Approximately, 1280 linear feet.

Interurban Park’s Updated Basketball and New Pickleball Courts Are Ready for Play!

We are thrilled to announce that the much-anticipated updates to Interurban Park’s basketball and pickleball courts are now complete and ready for use! Thanks to the generous support of the Madison County Bicentennial Commission and the MIBOR Economic and Community Development Council, these improvements have transformed our recreational space into a vibrant hub for sports enthusiasts and families alike.

A Community-Driven Enhancement

The revitalization of the courts at Interurban Park was made possible by a $2,436.68 grant from the Madison County Bicentennial Commission and a $3,000 grant from the MIBOR Economic and Community Development Council. These funds allowed us to resurface the basketball courts, install new basketball goals, add brand-new pickleball courts, and enhance the surrounding area with beautiful landscaping and new benches.

Enjoy the Courts Responsibly

While we encourage everyone to take full advantage of these fantastic new amenities, we also want to remind users to be mindful of the court rules. These rules are in place to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Please respect the facilities, dispose of trash properly, and share the space considerately with others.

Thank You to Our Supporters

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Madison County Bicentennial Commission and the MIBOR Economic and Community Development Council for their invaluable contributions to this project. Their support has not only improved our park but has also enhanced the quality of life for our entire community.

So grab your basketball, paddle, or just come down to sit on one of our new benches and take in the beautiful scenery. We look forward to seeing you at the park!

Ingalls Snow & Ice Control Policy

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 15:57:06 GMT

The Street Department of Ingalls has the responsibility of providing snow and ice control for 18 road miles throughout Town limits, Town Hall, and the Fire Department.

Snow and ice control is considered emergency work in that pavement must be cleared any time of the day or night. Because of the potential hazard to the motoring public, and the amount of time and money spent on this program, careful planning and preparation must be done prior to the snow and ice season. This planning process is made considerably more difficult due to the variable conditions encountered during each storm. Such things as the rate and accumulation of snowfall, moisture content, temperature, time of day or night, wind direction and velocity, and duration are all factors that interact to create a unique aspect for each storm with the result that no two towns are ever identical.

The Street Department has developed a priority list to be followed during a storm with the overall efforts for snow removal based on the following priority list:

#1 Treatment of thoroughfare county roads

#2 Town Hall and Fire Department

#3 Remaining county roads

#4 All subdivisions and residential neighborhoods

#5 Cul-de-sacs and alleyways
