Water, sewer and trash — tested again, and the code's own shape

Roseland Town Code, Index and Table of Contents (April 2025 uploads); IURC regulated water utilities list, 14 May 2026; the historical record as banked

The two open service items were tested at their settlers, and neither provider is claimed. For water and sewer, the new evidence is the shape of the town's own code: its Title V (Public Works) contains only Chapter 50, General Provisions — including the authority to establish utility service (§50.01), to establish waterworks (§50.02) and to regulate disposal of sanitary sewage (§50.03) — and Chapter 51, Regulation of Private Sewage Disposal Systems. No rate, billing or utility-operation chapter exists in the code. The state's regulated-water-utilities list of 14 May 2026 contains no Roseland entry of any type, proving only that Roseland is not itself a regulated water utility on that list; the federal drinking-water record reached names small private systems by their area served but does not name the town as served by any system — the South Bend Water Works' listed area served is South Bend — and South Bend's 2014 service-territory ordinance, read whole, establishes a territory within four miles of the city without naming Roseland, its map unread. The historical course stands as banked: South Bend's purchase of Clay Utilities in the mid-1960s, the town's claimed promise of completed hookups, litigation into the 2000s, and the 2006 ruling that the city was not required to provide free lines. Who serves the town at November 2026 remains not reached, and no carrier is stretched to say otherwise. For trash and recycling, the code's index carries garbage only as a receptacle rule (§92.066) among its property-maintenance sections, names no hauler, franchise or collection contract in any text reached, and no carrier naming a hauler for the town was found; the item stands open, its settler the town's own contract or minutes record.
