Tonight At 6 On ‘Indiana Newsdesk’

Coming up on Indiana Newsdesk.

A community is on high alert after finding elevated levels of lead in some of its drinking water. And it's costing the local school district hundreds of dollars each day. We'll explain what the utility company is doing to address the issue.

It's more than halfway into the fiscal year and in Illinois the governor and the legislature have yet to agree on a budget. That means no state money has been paid out. Illinois' public colleges and universities are laying off staff and draining their reserves in an effort to stay afloat. As students transfer out, what impact will it have in Indiana?

Plus an orangutan at the Indianapolis Zoo due is set to give birth sometime in the next few weeks. We'll show you the ultrasound pictures and explain more about the endangered species.

Those stories plus the latest headlines from across the state Friday at 6 p.m. on Indiana Newsdesk.
