Lead water line replacement 

You are likley aware of the nation-wide effort to identify and replace lead water lines in homes and municipal systems. Battle Ground does not have any known lead utility mains, however a few homes may have lead connections on service lines. Work will commence this year to uncover and assess specific areas that were developed during the time lead connections were available. 

Opposition to Pipeline

The Conservancy Directors and Town Council are united in opposition to a project initiated by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) which could divert millions of gallons of water daily from Tippecanoe County for industrial use in Boone County. Two citizen groups are actively seeking involvement of government to protect our families and business from potential harms. Tippecanoe County Commissioners have created a moratorium limiting the amount of water pumped until more research and evaluation can be obtained. Resolution 23-29

Spring Water LIne Flush

Water lines will be flushed May 5-9 in the lower water system for Historic Battle Ground and  River Bluffs areas. Some discoloration of water may be apparent, however should quickly clear within a few seconds. If you notice this, run water in the lowest floor of your home, in a sink or bathtub until normal again.

May 12-16 is the week to flush the upper system, including subdivisions along County Road 600N and State Road 43.
