statement of policy (this “Policy”) pursuant to the Board’s authority for supervision of streets,
alleys and City property under Indiana Code Section 36-9-6-2 and South Bend Municipal Code

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend provides sewer and water utility services to some unincorporated areas
of St. Joseph County. As the City of South Bend wishes to provide sewer and water services in a
fiscally responsible manner; promote compact and efficient development; through infill projects,
encourage revitalization and reinvestment in areas already serviced by municipal sewer and
water; and guide property owners, developers, and the public on which land is most appropriate
for future development and utility extensions, the City has created this Policy for extending and
connecting to its municipal sewer and water infrastructure for areas outside City limits.
