About us
Our Misson
The primary purpose of the District is to provide municipal sewer and water service in areas in unincorporated Porter County that previously did not have such service or were on failing utility systems. The general area of the District is Liberty Township which historically has had difficulties in supporting traditional septic systems for sewage disposal. Also, many owners in Liberty Township have less than reliable water service available through a well on their property.

why the district tax is necessary?
The District was formed in early 2004 & all infrastructure completed in early 2006. Utility services have been provided for several years in the District without imposing any real estate tax to assist in payment of District expenses. The District must collect taxes to make its payments to the banks who loaned the money to complete the District’s infrastructure. The District tax will be shown on your regular Porter County tax bill and is payable at the same time.

how the district tax is calculated?
The amount you pay in property taxes will be influenced by the assessed value of your home & the District’s tax rate. The addition of properties is important for the growth of the district. Generally speaking, more property in the district means a higher total assessed valuation of the property comprising the district, and as a result, the district’s tax rate is reduced. Because adding properties is important, representatives of the district actively meet with businesses, developments, homeowners and all public & private entities interested in obtaining service.
