department information The Village of Carlisle offers water, sewer, and refuse/recycling services to its residents. Other utility services (i.e. telecommunication, gas/electricity) are provided through independently contracted companies.
The Village installed a community-wide sewer system in the early- to mid-1980s to protect the aquifer from becoming contaminated by Village septic systems. All wastewater generated within the community flows to, and is treated by, the Franklin Regional Wastewater Treatment facility. The Franklin Regional Wastewater Board includes the communities of Franklin, Carlisle, Germantown, as well as Warren County. Veolia is the water plant operator. Trash services are provided by Rumpke Waste & Recycling through a contractual agreement with the Municipality of Carlisle Utility Department.
For more information on establishing trash and recycling services, contact the Utility Clerk. Collection Schedule

The Municipality of Carlisle’s water system is quite unique. The majority of Carlisle homes have private wells, which serve as the primary source of potable residential water. The majority of area businesses, as well as public meeting places, are part of the village water system. To determine whether you are able to establish access to the water system, contact the Utility Clerk.
The Municipality of Carlisle does not operate the water public water production facility. This facility is owned and operated by the City of Franklin. However, the Carlisle Service Department does maintain and service all of the public water lines and fire hydrants that are located within village limits. The Carlisle Service Department performs the maintenance of the system to ensure that:
These goals are met through many preventive maintenance programs scheduled throughout the year, as well as through regular updates of the water distribution system. Water Distribution System MaintenanceThe goal of the Carlisle Service Department is to guarantee that all residents and businesses receive clean, safe drinking water. To ensure the quality of this water, it is sampled and tested by the Department on a daily basis. In addition, the Service Department performs monthly testing, as well as additional testing throughout the year, as required by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Preventative maintenance on the distribution system is also carried out by the Department. All known leaks in the water distribution system are repaired as quickly as possible. Any time a water main is extended, or a new connection to the line is added, a sample of the existing pipe is taken for inspection, as well as the water being sampled and tested. Flushing of hydrants, particularly dead-end hydrants, are done routinely. Consumer Confidence ReportsIn order to make residential and commercial customers aware of the quality of their potable water, an annual consumer confidence report is conducted by the Municipality. A list of current and previous reports can be found below. 2019 Consumer Confidence Report 2018 Consumer Confidence Report 2017 Consumer Confidence Report 2016 Consumer Confidence Report 2015 Consumer Confidence Report 2014 Consumer Confidence Report 2013 Consumer Confidence Report 2012 Consumer Confidence Report Below are the effective residential rates for water, refuse, and sewer services. Residents who are not connected to the public water system are billed a flat monthly rate for sewer usage. Residents who are directly connected to the Carlisle public water system are assessed sewer charges based on the amount of water usage per month.
