Company History
Jefferson Water and Sewer District was created and established in 1987 to provide and control centralized water and sewer services to areas within the same Township boundaries.
In many areas of the township there was not an adequate supply of ground water. Many homeowners had very low water pressure and poor wells. In some instances, residents had their water trucked in and held in storage tanks. There were also problems with many older septic fields due to the type of clay soil which is prevalent in the township. The only way to bring to a halt or reduce the need for annexations was for the Township to be able to provide water and sewer services. By providing these services and keeping land in Jefferson Township, the Township retained control of zoning and therefore remains in control of how future development will proceed and what the character of the Township will be.
Since its inception more than 30 years ago, JWSD has not only seen a local government agency prosper into a vital community service pillar, it has also experienced significant growth. Jefferson Township's desirability and progressive commercial advancements have made JWSD a perfect and well-prepared plan for its community growth.
