Tocsin
Estimated Completion Date: TBD - project funding in review
The Wells County Regional Sewer District is investigating installation of sanitary sewer infrastructure in the unincorporated city of Tocsin. A Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) has been developed for this project and is available for review. The purpose of this project is to alleviate failing septic systems in this community and begin the process of revitalization that can start once septic discharge is isolated from storm sewer/county tiles in the proposed service area.
The proposed route follows SR 224 west from Tocsin to join in to the Kingsland project area. This project will include a spur that follows County Road 600E south. For more details, see the attached service area plan.
We welcome feedback from residents along the proposed route. Currently, the WCRSD continues to work with SRF regarding project funding. Once funding is established for this project, updates will be provided on this page regarding construction bidding and scheduling. Until funding is established, the WCRSD unfortunately cannot provide a date of service.
A copy of the preliminary engineering report can be viewed online at the Wells County Regional Sewer District Website (https://wellsrsd.com), or by contacting Lewis Brown at 260-353-1616. Written comments can also be submitted to the Wells County Regional Sewer District at 223 W. Washington Street, Suite 208, Bluffton, Indiana 46714.

Petroleum
Preliminary Investigation
The Wells County Regional Sewer District is investigating installation of sanitary sewer infrastructure in the unincorporated city of Petroleum. A Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) has been developed for this project and is available for review. The purpose of this project is to alleviate failing septic systems in this community and begin the process of revitalization that can start once septic discharge is isolated from storm sewer/county tiles in the proposed service area.
The proposed route would follow one of two proposed routes.
Route Option 1 would follow SR 1 north from Petroleum to join the Reiffsburg force where it would end at Bluffton.
Route Option 2 would follow CR 900S east from Petroleum to Domestic and then from Domestic the force main line would continue west along CR 900S to SR 116. At SR 116, the line would turn north and join into the Adams County Linn Grove project area.
We welcome feedback from residents along both proposed routes. We want to serve areas that are beneficial to most residents of Wells County.
