TOWN OF ELLETTSVILLE
BYNUM FANYO UTILITIES INC.
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
1995-2015
Prior to September 1995 when Bynum Fanyo Utilities Inc. was contracted to operate the
Ellettsville Wastewater Treatment Plant the Town was under scrutiny by the Indiana
Department of Environmental Management. The Town had been under a sewer ban
which did not allow any new developments to be connected in the Ellettsville or
surrounding sewer systems which were connected to the Ellettsville Wastewater
Treatment facility. A previous Agreed to Order from IDEM had placed Ellettsville on a
mandatory sewer ban in the 1980’s and had stopped development until a lift station to
pump excess flow to Bloomington’s Blucher Poole treatment plant was constructed in the
mid 80’s. In 1993 Pitometer Associates did a study of the Ellettsville, Eastern Richland
and Northern Richland sewer system. The study quantified the flows in the systems and
made recommendations on which sections of sanitary sewer pipe needed to be replaced or
repaired. The reports were presented to each entity identifying sections of pipe with
excessive inflow and infiltration.
None of the entities followed the report
recommendations and made any repairs or pipe replacements in their respective systems.
The Town was again looking at violations which could have produced another sewer ban
from IDEM in 1995. In July of 1995 the Section Head from the EPA Region 5 Office in
Chicago, and Paul Cluxton from the IDEM Compliance Section met with Bynum Fanyo
and the Town’s representatives and discussed the plant violations. The Town was
informed that fines and a possible sewer ban by way of another Agreed to Order from
IDEM were forthcoming if the Town did not take immediate action. The fines can be as
much as $25,000 per day per violation and Ellettsville had eleven documented violations.
Bynum Fanyo discussed options with the Town and responded to IDEM and the EPA and
avoided paying any fines. The Town terminated the plant operator and in August 1995
the Town Council selected Bynum Fanyo Utilities Inc. to operate the treatment plant.
Bynum Fanyo negotiated a voluntary sewer ban with IDEM and reported monthly on
progress in removing inflow and infiltration and the plant operation. The voluntary sewer
ban obligated the Town to spend $100,000 per year on projects to remove inflow and
infiltration (I&I) from the sanitary sewer system. The Town implemented I & I removal
projects and reported to IDEM on the I&I removal efforts in the monthly reports. Bynum

Town of Ellettsville Operational Summary
March 2016
Fanyo’s operation of the existing treatment plant resulted in treatment of 37 % more
sewage and 6.5% less sewage pumped to Bloomington for treatment in 1996 which was a
$67,282.10 savings in the first year of operation. The new 2.3 million gallon per day was
completed in November 1997 and the voluntary sewer ban was removed in 1998 with the
completion of the Vine Street sewer replacement project. By 2000 the Ellettsville
wastewater treatment plant was presented the “Plant of the Year” award by the Southern
Indiana Operator’s Association as one of the best facilities in Indiana. The treatment
plant also received a nomination for the EPA’s “Operation and Maintenance Plant of the
Year” for the State of Indiana. Bynum Fanyo Utilities has also managed the Town’s
water utility in the same manner to improve pressure and flow and keep unaccounted for
water loss to industry standards thus saving the Town money for purchased water from
Bloomington. Bynum Fanyo’s direction of the Utilities Department has enabled the
department to be self-sufficient and utilize the Town’s workforce to maintain the water
and sanitary sewer infrastructure, construct system upgrades and capital improvement
projects which save money by not contracting out work that can be done with in-house
labor. By using in-house labor, the Town can realize a savings on each project by not
paying a contractor’s rate to complete a sewer or water line replacement. Bynum Fanyo
has hired and trained an experienced workforce for the Town to be able to complete
projects in-house. This exceptionally qualified workforce has been able to upgrade the
sanitary sewer system to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows and reduce inflow and
infiltration. The same crews also worked to relocate water lines required by INDOT for
the State Road 46 project and make system upgrades to improve the water system
pressure, flow and fire protection within the Town’s service area for the past 20-years
under the supervision and management of Bynum Fanyo Utilities Inc. Bynum Fanyo
Utilities has also assisted in numerous other projects as needed to save the Town money
and provide management and manpower to get the job done. The projects include
assistance during periods of flooding, assisting with the cleanup after the tornado and
most recently the construction of Phase One of the Heritage Trail.
The estimated cost savings for the 20+ years including management and employees to
staff the treatment plant
$8,773,541

The follow is a listing of capital improvement and cost savings projects managed by
Bynum Fanyo Utilities Inc. from 1995 thru 2015. Also noted are projects where the
Town was reimbursed for relocation projects that would have normally been an expense
the Town would have paid to contractors.
OPERATIONAL CHANGES 1995-1998:
Corrections and improvements to standard operating procedures:
o Routine cleaning of sewer collection system including root cutting. The entire
o
o
o
o
system is cleaned.
Standardized operation and construction specifications
Implemented “on-call” procedures to better serve customers and respond to
emergencies after hours
Established “Customer Action Report system” to record and track complaints and
request for service. Reduces liabilities and provides officials with complete data
on events related to Utility system.
Established purchasing practices to insure “best cost” for materials purchased by
the Utilities Department.
o Implementation of safety procedures to better protect Utility workforce and reduce
Town’s liabilities
o Increased the amount of water available at the fire hydrants in the downtown by
reconfiguring valves in water system.
Cost Savings Project
o Optimized treatment plant operations to treat more flow at the McNeely St
wastewater plant and pumped less to Bloomington which saved in treatment costs
in 1996 and 1997$130,000.00
CAPITAL PROJECTS 1998:

1998-2002 INDOT Reimbursement Project
Utilizing the Town’s workforce to relocate water and sewer lines for the State Road 46
projects resulted in two types of savings for the Town.
o By using the Town’s workforce, a direct savings was realized by the Town not
having to pay a contractor to relocate the water and sewer lines as required by the
project. This savings is estimated as follows:
o Water Line Relocation Savings
$557,280.00
o Sewer Line Relocation Savings
$325,917.00
o This savings realized by the Town with INDOT reimbursing the Town to relocate
the lines INDOT essentially paid the salaries of the employees while working in
this capacity. INDOT stated publicly that working with the Town was the best
experience INDOT has had with a community.
1997-2000 Cost Savings for Unaccounted for Water
o The Utilities Department has decreased its water loss from 20% to 10% from
1997 to 2000. This savings is determined by decreasing the amount of
unaccounted for water by comparing the amount of water purchased from
Bloomington compared to the amount of water billed by the Town. Estimated
savings$101,343.00
