💧 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞

Due to the recent flooding, the Town of Cambridge City was unable to mail out water bills for the month of September. Additionally, because we were unable to access and read water meters, each home’s usage was estimated based on your normal usage.

It is expected that this process will continue for the month of October.

📬 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Old Pershing School
519 Queen Street
Pershing, IN

We are located on the west side of the building. Please use the ramp to access our door.

We will be here today until 4:00 PM for anyone who would like to pick up their bill.

We also want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has shown our staff patience, understanding, and grace during this incredibly challenging time. We know these circumstances have created frustrations and inconveniences for many, and we truly appreciate your kindness as we navigate all of this together.

Thank you, Cambridge City, for your continued patience and support. ❤️

We are so grateful.

Thank you to everyone who brought food, water, cleaning supplies, and so many other items to help our neighbors after the flood. Churches, businesses, families, and people we may never meet showed up with generous hearts, and it made a real difference.

We are no longer accepting donated items.

Please do not drop off additional food, water, supplies, or other goods. If that changes, we will let you know here on Facebook.

We are still accepting financial donations to the church flood relief fund. You can do that at: https://4c.churchcenter.com/giving.

Those gifts help with remaining needs as families continue to recover.

Thank you again for loving this community well. Please keep praying for those still rebuilding.

Here is a follow up from our post yesterday:

Property owners should not assume that elevation is their only possible option.

Depending upon the property and available programs, possible options may include:

Repair/reconstruction with elevation:
A substantially damaged home may be reconstructed in compliance with current floodplain requirements.

NFIP Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC):
Homeowners who had National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance may qualify for additional insurance benefits to help pay certain costs associated with elevation, relocation or demolition.

Voluntary acquisition/buyout:
Cambridge City is exploring whether FEMA/Indiana hazard-mitigation funding may become available for voluntary acquisition of certain flood-prone properties. No buyout program or funding is guaranteed at this time.

Participation in any FEMA-funded acquisition program would be voluntary.

A 50% determination is an important step; not the end of the process.

We understand that receiving a substantial-damage determination can raise serious financial and personal concerns.

𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

The Town encourages affected property owners to:

1. Obtain and review their substantial-damage determination.

2. Review the values and repair estimates used in the calculation.

3. Contact the Town before beginning reconstruction.

4. Ask questions about elevation and rebuilding requirements.

5. Discuss possible insurance, mitigation, or voluntary acquisition assistance.

6. Exercise their appeal rights if they believe the determination is incorrect.

Cambridge City will continue working with Indiana DNR, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, FEMA and other agencies to identify available recovery and mitigation options for affected property owners.

Our goal is to help residents understand their options and make informed decisions about rebuilding and recovery.

As our community continues to recover from the flooding, we want to make sure residents and businesses know what is required before beginning flood related repairs.

We are still working to get our phone system fully operational. Please leave a voicemail as we are monitoring messages and will return your call.

If your property is located within the regulated floodplain or floodway, the town must complete a flood damage/substantial damage determination assessment.

The Town of Cambridge City is currently waiving flood repair permit fees, but permits are still required when applicable.

Due to the large number of permits anticipated and our limited staff, flood repair permits will be issued on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

These procedures apply to both private residences and businesses.

We understand there is a lot of information to navigate following a disaster. We have attached an infographic to help our community members better understand the process and determine what steps to take before beginning repairs.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue working together to rebuild Cambridge City! ❤️
