On May 21, 2018, the JIPSD Commission approved the First Reading of the FY2019 Budget that included a 2 mill increase in the General Fund and a 5.5 mill increase in the Debt Service Fund.
The 2 mill increase will be used for salary increases for those associates found to be paid below the market according to a compensation study completed earlier this year.
The 5.5 mill increase will be used to pay the debt for the relocation and replacement of Fire Station 1 from Camp to Folly Road. Fire Station 1 was built in 1961 and is way overdue for replacement. The new location improves response time.
What’s the impact? For the average $250,000 house, the result an increase of $75 a year (or $6.25/month).
A public hearing for the FY2019 Budget will be held Monday, June 25, 2018, at 1739 Signal Point Road @ 5:30 p.m. All are invited to attend.

The JIPSD Wastewater Services Department has implemented a new program for customers to get their cleanouts repaired quickly and easily!
A cleanout is a pipe that appears at ground level and connects to your underground wastewater line. Cleanouts are typically found near your home and close to the property line. Cleanouts have a removable cap on top that allows for easy access to wastewater lines for maintenance and repairs.
Why keep cleanouts in good condition?
JIPSD can replace missing cleanout caps, repair damaged cleanouts and help make cleanouts flush with ground level.
Click here to submit a cleanout work request. There is no cost to customers for this service.
