Hartford City Waterline Payment Approved for High School
From the Blackford County Schools Board meeting on October 27, 2026
Blackford County Schools' board unanimously approved a payment to Hartford City on October 27 for the waterline extension serving the high school.
The district clarified that the installment is year six of a nine-year agreement, correcting the seven-year contract length given at the previous meeting. The district began spreading out the cost of bringing city water to the school in 2021.
Discussion compared city service with the school's former well-water system. Water-quality concerns involving filters and urinals remain, but the district has avoided the major well failures that previously forced school closures.
