Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Revises Bill Relief Program
Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) has made two important changes to the Bill Relief Program previously announced: The monthly credit is increasing from $3 to $10 a month, and the eligibility requirements have been revised to exclude County residents. The changes stemmed from the Evansville City Council’s approval on use of the City’s allocation of American Rescue Plan funds.
Current Bill Relief Program guidelines are as follows:
Who’s Eligible
EWSU customers who reside in City limits with an active water account and have a household income of $50,000 or less may qualify for assistance.
What the Bill Relief Program Provides
Customers who apply for the program and qualify will receive a $10 monthly credit applied to their account each month for one year – for a total savings of $120. The credit offsets the 2022 water rate increase that goes into effect July 1. After one year, customers may have the opportunity to reapply for the program for an additional 12 months or while funds last.
When It Takes Effect
The Bill Relief Program launches July 1, 2022, to help income-eligible individuals and families in the community lighten the cost of their utility bill. Applications are being accepted now.

Applicants will receive an email verifying the application was received and whether the request was approved or denied.
Crane Army Chooses Vincennes University For Industrial Maintenance Training
VINCENNES, Ind., June 28, 2022 - Vincennes University’s Business & Industry Industrial Maintenance training program completed training for Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA) employees on Monday, June 27.
The CAAA employees completed a five-day hands-on training course in Electrical Motor Control Systems. In the course, students study and apply industry-relevant skills, including how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot AC electric motor control circuits for various applications.
“Industrial maintenance training is key to any manufacturing operation’s success. Companies of all sizes need employees who can identify issues before they happen and prevent electrical and mechanical issues from returning in the future,†VU Director of Industrial Maintenance Training Jerry Ruble said. “At VU, our training partners need in-house industrial maintenance technicians who know how to solve problems in-house to keep costs down and production high.â€
VU hosts industrial maintenance training courses throughout Indiana, including at its campuses and sites in Vincennes, Jasper, Fort Branch, Plainfield, and Lebanon.
According to CAA Training Officer Brett Carroll, “Developing people is an important part of Crane Army’s Modernization efforts. The Electrical Motor Control Workshop is one of many classes VU offers that helps expand the employees’ technical expertise and grow the Crane Army’s organizational capabilities. This investment in people translates into opportunities for Crane employees to advance their careers and for qualified Hoosiers to find quality employment at Crane, earning great salaries and excellent benefits while serving our nation as an Army Civilian. That’s a win-win for Crane Army, its customers, its employees, and our local communities.â€
Said VU Vice President of Workforce Development & Community Services David Tucker, “VU is very pleased to be able to partner with Crane on Industrial Maintenance training for Crane employees. Crane is a major employer in south-central Indiana, and VU is vested in the future success of Crane and its employees.â€
Since 2010, VU has offered hands-on training in industrial maintenance for companies across the Midwest. In addition to Crane Army, other partners include Amazon, Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Indiana (TMMI), Subaru, and Caterpillar.

Watland Strikes Out 11 In Otters’ Series-Opening Win
EVANSVILLE, Ind. –Â Behind a stellar start from pitcher Justin Watland, the Evansville Otters backed the right-hander to a 3-1 series-opening win Tuesday against the Joliet Slammers.
The game remained scoreless well into the fourth inning, with starters Watland and Turner Larkins impressing early. Both had limited the hitting parts of each offense to a single hit into the fourth.
Evansville grabbed the lead in the fourth, as Steven Sensley followed a Zach Biermann double with a two-run home run. The home run was Sensley’s ninth of the season.
The Otters cashed in on some insurance in the sixth, as J.R. Davis drove in Jeffrey Baez with an RBI double.
Both starters exited the game after seven innings – and the Slammers finally found their way to the scoring category.
After Augie Gallardo entered in the eighth, a leadoff walk worked around the bases on a passed ball and fielder’s choice before scoring on a wild pitch. This would be the sole run Joliet managed in the game.
Logan Sawyer entered the game in the ninth and picked up his league-leading 11th save of the season as Evansville closed out the game, winning 3-1.
Watland finally found the win column again with an 11-strikeout outing where he did not allow a run, while giving up just one hit in seven full innings. The loss went to Larkins, who gave up three runs on six hits, walking eight and not surrendering a walk.
Watland’s 11 strikeouts marked the second straight game Evansville had a starter reach double-digit strikeouts and the fifth time of the season.
Evansville and Joliet continue the series Wednesday night at 6:35 p.m., with Bosse Field’s gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday is Senior Connection Wednesday, where seniors 55 and older can get a discounted general admission ticket. Plus, after the game is a big postgame fireworks show by Slay’s Restoration.
