Mr. David Meyer is the current Superintendent of the OPCD Wastewater Department.  Mr. Meyer has been with OPCD since February 1981 and has been Superintendent of Operations since June 2003.   Prior to that, he was the District Foreman of Operations for nearly twenty years.  He is the certified operator for the OPCD Wastewater Treatment Facility and holds a Class III Wastewater Certification issued by the State of Indiana.  Prior to working at OPCD, Mr. Meyer worked several jobs  including service in the United States Navy.  In 2011, Mr. Meyer was named the Wastewater System Operator of the Year by the Indiana Rural Water Association.

The sanitary sewer system within the OPCD services approximately 3300 properties in the area recently annexed by the City of Jeffersonville, IN.  The sewage moves from your home through the collector system and pump stations to the wastewater treatment plant and is then processed into clean water.  The clean water is then released back into the Ohio River for reuse. Strict guidelines, enforced by EPA and IDEM, are followed to prevent water quality degradation.

OPCD has a history of excellence with regards to the Wastewater Treatment Facility.  In 1999, OPCD was awarded the Federal Environmental Protection Agency Excellence Award, Small Secondary Plant, for Operation and Maintenance, as best in the nation for its size.  OPCD continues to meet and exceed all State and Federal requirements at our facility.
