Production facilities include 2 - 1,500 gpm wells, a 1,000 gpm aerator iron removal filter water plan, 2 booster stations 2 - 500,000 gallon elevated storage tanks, a 50,00 elevated storage tank, and a 390,000 gallon standpipe. All pumping facilities are equipped with automatic transfer auxiliary generators. The water system also has 2 emergency interconnects with Indiana American Water Company, Mooresville. The average daily water production for 2002 was 584,000 gallons or 41% of plant capacity. Indianapolis Water Company currently serves customers in the Northern Buffer Zone area of Heartland Crossing. Wastewater Mooresville's sewage treatment system is in excellent condition. The plant has excess capacity and meets all state and federal requirements. The treatment plant is an activated sludge facility with an anaerobic sludge digestion and chlorination of final effluent. It is designed for a population of 10,000 users and has a design flow of 1.5 million gallons per day average, with a peak daily load of 2.5 million gallons. The design calls for 95% removal of biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen. Sand, gravel and other heavy materials are hauled to approved landfills for disposal. Digested sludge is hauled to Indianapolis to be processed. As of the fall of 2000, the plant is operating at about 65% capacity on an average day. However, due to ground water infiltration during periods of heavy rainfall, the plant sometimes uses storage tanks from which sewage is drained into the plant during off-load hours. This has been created no problem since the plant has excess capacity. The infiltration problem is being addressed gradually with the replacement of old lines. In planning line replacements, the economics of treating the ground water versus replacing the line are considered. The first plant was built on the present site on Park Drive in 1959. In 1974, it was enlarged to include secondary holding tanks and a grit removal process and to provide a capacity of one million gallons daily. The latest improvements, including new pumping facilities, an oxidation ditch, a new outfall sewer into White Lick Cree and a new administration building with laboratory and garage, was made in 1986.
