Tips to help prevent sanitary sewer backups (pdf)
When rain falls in Beech Grove, it runs off of rooftops, parking lots, lawns and other surfaces into the city's stormwater drainage system leading to standing water in yards and flooded streets. Each household or business that redirects stormwater out of the sewer, helps prevent sewage from backing up into our basements.


The City of Beech Grove is located in the southeast portion of Marion County
and is part of the Greater Indianapolis Metropolitan area. 

Beech Grove was incorporated in 1906,
and
is a city with nearly 15,000 residents who enjoy the benefits
 of a small town and the amenities of a large city. 

 The city celebrated its 100th birthday this last year.

A mayor, clerk-treasurer and seven city council people are elected
every four years to govern the city. 

All municipal services such as police and fire protection,
streets, parks, senior and community centers
and other appropriate agencies are provided by the city administration.

Probably the best-known early resident was Sarah T. Bolton, famed poet and author of “Paddle Your Own Canoe.”
She came to Beech Grove some 100 years ago and wrote many of her poems in her home on South Seventeenth Avenue, which was known as Beech Bank. The city purchased the Bolton Farm and developed a city park there and named it after her which is now enjoyed by many area residents.

Beech Grove is mainly a residential community,
 although many large businesses are located here. 
Our  local schools and the library are among the finest in the state.

We trust that the information contained on this website
 will be beneficial to you and we look forward to
possibly hearing from you.
