IAW to Present at Town Council Meeting

Indiana American Water Co. (IAW) will present information to the public on Monday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. regarding plans to replace the plant residuals lagoon behind their building on Diana Rd. Ken Buczek, who is from the IAW Regional Office, will provide background and up-to-date information on the project, which has been under development for nearly 1.5 years. Replacement of the lagoon became paramount for IAW after the lagoon wall breached at least two times into Long Lake in 2007 and 2008, which is a federally listed, 82-acre wetland.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has been working with IAW to make sure the project is environmentally sound and within Indiana permitting requirements. Questions remain to be answered, however, such as what will happen to the lagoon after it is retired from use.

Please come to the meeting to air your questions and concerns.
