New Albany, Ind. – December 11, 2025 – Indiana American Water is completing a $5.7 million project in its Southern Indiana water system with the construction of the new Binford Booster Station in New Albany, Ind. The state-of-the-art facility will provide improved water pressure, enhanced reliability, and additional capacity to support future development for customers in Floyd and Clark counties.

Residents and businesses from Floyd Knobs to Georgetown rely on steady water pressure every time they turn on the tap. However, aging pumps and rolling terrain made it increasingly difficult to maintain a consistent flow, especially during peak demand. In addition to serving local customers, Indiana American Water also sells water to neighboring utilities, including Ramsey Water Company, Borden Tri-County Regional Water District, and Floyds Knobs Water Company, all of which benefit from the new Binford Booster Station.

When it enters service before year-end, the Binford Booster Station will deliver nearly 2,400 gallons per minute. It features energy-efficient, variable-speed drives that automatically adjust to real-time water demand—critical during peak usage periods. Additionally, built-in redundancy minimizes service disruptions, and a broad pumping range paired with improved efficiency helps meet customer demands more effectively.

This project is part of $9 million in 2025 system upgrades, which also include replacing 16 water mains across multiple counties and targeted improvements to regional wellfields.

"Reliable water service is critical for public safety and economic growth. This investment strengthens our system today and also gives our communities the confidence to keep building for the future”, said Brittany Montgomery, Southern District Manager, Indiana American Water. “By upgrading aging infrastructure and adding capacity, we’re helping to ensure that residents, businesses, and first responders have the water they need—when they need it."

The new Binford Booster Station will deliver a range of improvements for customers and communities. Local first responders benefit from better fire-flow capability, while added capacity supports current and future new housing and commercial development.

Indiana American Water extends its gratitude to the City of New Albany for their support with permitting, as well as to the many contractors, engineers, and design firms that made this project possible—including HTNB Corporation, EFI-Solutions, Dan Cristiani Construction, and American Structurepoint.

In its Southern Indiana Operations, Indiana American Water invests tens of millions of dollars annually across Southern Indiana in communities including New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Georgetown, Charlestown, portions of Sellersburg and Borden, and unincorporated Floyd and Clark counties. These investments include replacing aging mains, upgrading treatment technology, and protecting local water sources while providing our customers and communities the high-quality water service they expect and deserve.
