Brazil residents can soon expect a nearly 50% water rate increase
BRAZIL, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Brazil residents can soon expect an increase in their water bill as City Council recently approved a 48% water rate increase at the last public hearing at Brazil City Hall. Mayor Brian Wyndham says this has been a conversation even before the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent months, the imposed water rate increase had a main topic at multiple public hearings. This decision was not taken lightly and wasn't made overnight. An increase hasn't happened in the City of Brazil since 2016. 'With progress comes costs,' said Brazil Mayor Brian Wyndham. 'The one thing about this that is different from a lot of things, the increase cost of your water bill, that money is going right back here in this community.' The city has done multiple area studies to come up with a percent that is the most reasonable, and what will ultimately help fund the community. The most recent area study being done by Baker Tilly, an outside company study. 'When you're looking at your water bill, you obviously see a total. And with that includes your water, wastewater, the trash service, storm water utility, all of those other entities. I mean they're listed separately but then there's a total,' said Wyndham. 'So, bear in mind, this just effects your water. The study was done on it based on 4,000-gallon usage per month, which seem to be kind of the median where we're at. It's going to increase your bill about $15 to $16 if you fall in that four-thousand-gallon usage.' The water rate increase will not only affect Brazil residents, but more than 1,000Clay County residents that use the city water. The mayor stated out-of-city limit residents were notified by a letter about the water rate increase. Looking ahead, the money from the increase will help fund a $13 million dollar project that will replace a raw water line that runs Reelsville into the Brazil Treatment Plant. The Mayor of Brazil also emphasized the rate increase is based on water usage only and will not impact other utilities. The newest water rate increase will go into effect in July 2025.

Leadership changes at Vincennes University
VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Vincennes University will be making two key leadership changes for the upcoming school year, as Tim Eaton, Vice President of Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Laura Treanor, Provost, Senior Vice President of Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty, will be leaving the university. Eaton will be retiring at the end of June and will be replaced by Conya Wampler, the current Assistant Vice President of Financial Services and Controller. Eaton has been with the university since 1989 and 'has been instrumental in securing critical state funding, including biennial capital and operating budget requests, and ensuring long-term financial health,' said Vincennes University. 'For nearly four decades, Tim Eaton has provided steady, insightful leadership at the helm of VU's budgets and financial management, skillfully guiding the University through periods of economic uncertainty, demographic shifts, and changing public funding landscapes,' said Vincennes University President Dr. Chuck Johnson. Travis Linneweber, currently Vincennes University's Budget Director, will transition to replace Wampler as the university's Assistant Vice President of Financial Services. Dr. Treanor will also be leaving the university, as she has been named the next President of Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke, Virginia. Dr. Treanor joined Vincennes University in 2018, and since then has launched Leadership Lunch and Learn sessions, created the Trailblazer Teaching Academy and lead the American Council on Education Women's Network Indiana. 'Few have matched the tireless dedication and transformative leadership of Dr. Laura Treanor. Her extraordinary impact over the past seven years has significantly advanced Vincennes University and will be felt for decades to come,' said Johnson. Jaci Lederman will serve as Interim Provost, Vice President for Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty in Dr. Treanor's absence. 'We will soon celebrate and bid farewell to two exceptional leaders whose dedicated service and countless contributions have significantly strengthened Vincennes University; fortunately, we are also blessed to have talented colleagues ready to step into new roles, ensuring continued stability and success through these transitions and into the future,' said Johnson.
