150 Lynnwood Hills Homes Set for City Sewer Transition
Fishers, IN · September 9, 2026
Summer is not letting go just yet, with the afternoon dial climbing right past 90 degrees. Drink extra water, find shade by lunchtime, and save your long strolls for dusk.
The Lead
A long-sought infrastructure upgrade for Lynnwood Hills cleared its final administrative hurdle Tuesday as the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety approved a construction award for the neighborhood's sewer conversion. TSW Utility Solutions won the contract with a $2.79 million bid, bringing total construction costs to $3.85 million alongside specialized grinder pump equipment.
The project will connect 160 residential lots to municipal sewer service, retiring decades-old private septic systems across the subdivision. Participation is already overwhelming, with 150 property owners signed on. Funding relies on a $1.4 million state grant paired with a 20-year zero-interest loan through the Indiana Finance Authority. To preserve mature lawns and driveways, crews will install the new lines primarily using horizontal directional boring. City engineers expect equipment on neighborhood streets within four weeks, targeting total completion ahead of next autumn.

Spotlight & Story
- The Fishers Freedom Festival
- Launched in 1989 as a simple one-day neighborhood picnic at Holland Park, the ritual was intentionally timed the weekend before Independence Day so families wouldn't have to choose between Fishers and neighboring towns. That late-June timing carried forward when Spark!Fishers succeeded it in 2018.
